ayer MaterialScience has developed a wide range of energy-efficient polyurethane materials for
the automotive sector. At UTECH 2012, it is going one step further with the presentation of the Bayflex® RIM Light Weight polyurethane system that can be used to further reducing the weight of finished components by up to 30%. With a density of just 0.9 kilograms per liter, this material is even lighter than water. This compact material offers great design freedom for vehicle construction and can be used to make components with a Class A surface that are to be finished with a high-grade coating. It is processed using tried-and-tested RRIM (Reinforced Reaction Injection Molding) technology.
In addition to car components, Bayflex® RIM Light
Weight can be used for applications in other forms of mobility such as trucks, buses, trains, aircraft and ships.

nounced the completion of its new fumed silica ex- pansion project at the Spark Industrial Park in Jiangxi Province, China. The two companies began expansi- on on the project in September 2010. The expansion solidifies Cabot’s position as one of the world’s largest producers of fumed silica. The Jiangxi site can now produce up to 15,000 metric tons of product annually, with the near term potential to fur- ther expand to 20,000 metric tons as demand in Asia grows. The Board of Directors of Cabot Corporation also approved an increase of $0.02 per share to the Corporation’s quarterly dividend, and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share on all out- standing shares of the Corporation’s common stock. The dividend is payable on June 15, 2012, to stock- holders of record at the close on June 1, 2012.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) – before special items – improved by 9.4% to EUR2,442 mil- lion (Q1 2011: EUR 2,232 million). This was partly due to positive currency effects of EUR85 million, which occurred mainly at Health Care and CropSci- ence.
Net income increased by 53.5% to EUR1,050 million (Q1 2011: EUR684 million). Core earnings per share rose by 15.9% to EUR1.68 (Q1 2011: EUR1.45).
