Cabot Corporation Launches New Areas on its Website
“For many years, Cabot's strategic goal has been to develop new businesses and/or new products with our existing technologies," Reznek said. "Our track record in this area is quite strong, with the successful spin-off of Cabot Microelectronics, as well as the launch of our newest businesses: inkjet colorants and specialty oilfield drilling fluids. We want to ensure that visitors understand our background and capabilities in these areas, as well as within our core products: carbon black and fumed silica. This new area of our Website is a place to communicate with interested researchers and potential technology partners to see if another project fits into our portfolio of successful partnerships and product launches."
The Website's new R&D area includes brief descriptions of projects Cabot has launched in the past several years. It also describes significant technology partnerships that are in development, such as: aerogels, fuel cells and extending the traditional boundaries of the company's core products. In addition, registered visitors now may search Cabot's U.S. patents issued since 1983.
In addition to R&D, Cabot has added content about the Analytical Services it offers to customers, related to product research, new product development, manufacturing and product quality.
"Our scientists support our Sales and Technical Service organizations by supplying expertise in microscopy, inorganic analysis, organic analysis, thermal analysis, analytical rheology and particle characterization to solve customer problems," Reznek added. "The new content describes the instrumentation and experience we offer in these areas."
