DateDescription
1970 Founded in 1970, Kaneka Belgium N.V. was the first overseas subsidiary of the chemical company Kaneka Corporation, headquartered in Osaka, Japan.
1978 In 1978, the first Kaneka MS Polymer™ grades were launched for application in low and high elastic modulus sealants.
1986 In 1986, the blending of Kaneka MS Polymer™ with random silylated polyacrylates or epoxies was introduced. The latter opened up new markets, as the acryl-modified pre-polymers showed enhanced UV-stability, weather resistance, and improved adhesive properties, while the epoxy blends combined the elasticity of STPE with the typical high strength and water resistance of epoxies.
1997 In 1997, silane terminated polymers with an alternative backbone, polyisobutylene, were developed and launched onto the market.
2003 In 2003, silane terminated polymers with an alternative backbone, polyacrylate, were developed and launched onto the market.
2004 In 2004, the more reactive trimethoxysilyl-(TMS) Kaneka MS Polymer™ technology was introduced, enabling the development of faster curing products.
2009 In 2009, the blending of these Kaneka MS Polymer™ and random silylated polyacrylates was the logical sequel for this faster curing technology.
2012 In 2012, based on many years of experience and Kaneka’s pursuit of innovation, the high-strength Kaneka MS Polymer™ technology was launched.
2019 In early 2019, Kaneka Belgium's MS Polymer™ production capacity was extended by fifty percent by installing a third state-of-the-art production line.
