為了進(jìn)一步鞏固其在高溫聚合物領(lǐng)域的領(lǐng)先地位，位于杜塞爾多夫的德固賽公司收購(gòu)了位于Kelsterbach的Ticona公司所有PAEK的生產(chǎn)技術(shù)和專利。90年代Hoechst的工程聚合物部開發(fā)了這些聚合物的生產(chǎn)專利及其專長(zhǎng)應(yīng)用。當(dāng)Hoechst在1999年脫售其非醫(yī)藥業(yè)務(wù)時(shí)，將該技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)讓給了Ticona公司。通過本次收購(gòu)，德固賽將結(jié)合前Hoechst公司將近十年的研究、生產(chǎn)和使用PAEK經(jīng)驗(yàn)，以及中國(guó)長(zhǎng)春吉林大學(xué)20年的科研成果，和自身的科研開發(fā)能力。
這一舉動(dòng)將加強(qiáng)德固賽公司高性能聚合物業(yè)務(wù)部的實(shí)力。該部門正準(zhǔn)備啟動(dòng)已于2005年六月初達(dá)成協(xié)議的其在中國(guó)的合資企業(yè)－吉大德固賽高性能聚合物長(zhǎng)春有限公司。德固賽擁有該公司80%的股份,吉林大學(xué)持20%。它將生產(chǎn)聚醚醚酮（PEEK*）。“德固賽所獲得的廣泛全面的生產(chǎn)技術(shù)和專利將能保證我們成功打入以技術(shù)為導(dǎo)向的PEEK*市場(chǎng)，” 高性能聚合物部門總裁Joachim Leluschko博士說，“一旦我們?cè)陂L(zhǎng)春的合資公司各項(xiàng)許可齊備正式開業(yè)，這次收購(gòu)的項(xiàng)目即為高性能聚合物業(yè)務(wù)部開始與客戶的第一批開發(fā)贏得大量時(shí)間?！痹摌I(yè)務(wù)部生產(chǎn)基于聚酰胺12的高性能聚合物和其它各種特種聚合物。PEEK*家族的產(chǎn)品將使該部門得以擴(kuò)展其在頗有吸引力的高性能塑料方面的產(chǎn)品系, 這些產(chǎn)品能夠滿足各種機(jī)械，熱學(xué)及化學(xué)方面的苛刻要求。作為聚合物材料全面的系統(tǒng)供應(yīng)商，德固賽公司也因此特別將其視線放在了汽車工業(yè)，工程和電器市場(chǎng)，以及航天航空工業(yè)的市場(chǎng)上。
*PEEK是聚醚醚酮根據(jù)ISO 1043標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的縮寫。
In a move to further consolidate its expertise in the area of high-temperature polymers, Degussa AG, Dusseldorf, is acquiring all the know-how and patents of Ticona GmbH, Kelsterbach, in the field of polyaryl ether ketones. Patents and know-how for the manufacture and use of these polymers had been developed in the Technical Polymers Division of Hoechst AG in the 1990s and had been assigned to Ticona when Hoechst spun off its non-pharma businesses in 1999. With the acquisition, Degussa is combining the experience gained by the former Hoechst AG from almost ten years of researching, manufacturing and using polyaryl ether ketones with the results of 20 years of research by Jilin University, Changchun, China, along with its own research and development.
This will strengthen Degussa’s High Performance Polymers Business Unit, which is preparing for the start of the Chinese joint venture JIDA Degussa High Performance Polymers Changchun Co. Ltd. that was agreed in early June 2005. The joint venture, in which Degussa holds an 80 percent share and Jilin University 20 percent, will produce polyether ether ketones (PEEK*). “The comprehensive know-how and patents that Degussa has now acquired will ensure us successful entry into the technology-driven PEEK* market," states Dr. Joachim Leluschko, the Business Unit’s Head. “This package is buying considerable time for High Performance Polymers to start the first developments with customers, as soon as all permits for the start of JIDA Degussa High Performance Polymers Changchun have been obtained.”
High Performance Polymers manufactures high-performance polymers based on polyamide 12 and various other specialty polymers. Products from the PEEK* family will enable the business unit to expand its range of products in the attractive segment of high-performance plastics, which need to meet extreme mechanical, thermal, and chemical requirements. As a comprehensive systems supplier for polymer materials Degussa is thus setting its sights in particular on the automotive engineering and electronics end markets, as well as the aerospace industry.
* PEEK is the official ISO 1043 abbreviation for polyether ether ketones.
As the global market leader in specialty chemicals, Degussa uses its innovative products and system solutions to create something indispensable for its customers’ success. It’s an approach we sum up in our claim of “creating essentials”. In fiscal 2004 its 45,000 employees generated sales of 11.2 billion euros, and operating profits (EBIT) of 965 million euros.
