WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Aug. 14, 2012 - INVISTA Specialty Materials is investing several million dollars at its two Terate® aromatic polyester polyols manufacturing sites located in Wilmington, N.C., and Vlissingen, Netherlands. These investments involve upgrades to boost global production volumes of the Terate® HT polyols product line to help meet growing global demand for INVISTA’s aromatic polyester polyols.

“Our customers are choosing our innovative Terate® HT polyols because these products offer advances in ease of processing and efficiency in rigid foam manufacture, as well as improved adhesion to various substrates, including cold adhesion for spray applications,” said Bill Trowell, global business director for Terate® polyols.

At the same time, rigid foams containing Terate® HT polyols retain many of the differentiated performance features of INVISTA’s traditional polyol offerings including high compressive strengths, high weight retention and high volume retention in fire and smoke testing.

“Customers have already experienced increased value in use with our HT technology and this investment will help ensure supply as more customers experience the benefits of these polyols,” said Trowell.

The chemistry that forms the basis for the Terate® HT polyols platform is the culmination of several years of research and development, customer trials and feedback. The result is the development of a series of polyols with improved overall performance compared with current aromatic polyester polyols in the marketplace today. INVISTA will produce Terate® HT polyols and traditional Terate® polyols at both sites.

INVISTA produces Terate® polyols for a variety of applications including polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams as well as in coatings, adhesives, elastomers and sealants. Rigid polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foam systems applications include spray foam, insulated appliances, insulated metal panels and other areas that require polyol aromaticity to meet certain approval standards.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
