Ge Silicones

Regarding the operations previously associated with GE Silicones in Malaysia, it is important to note that GE Silicones as a distinct corporate entity no longer exists. Its global silicones business was acquired by Momentive Performance Materials.

Momentive Performance Materials maintains a significant presence in Malaysia, and their operations there include manufacturing facilities. For instance, they have production sites in locations such as Kluang, Johor, where various silicone products are manufactured.

Therefore, the enterprise that inherited the legacy of GE Silicones' operations in Malaysia, namely Momentive Performance Materials, is primarily a manufacturing entity, meaning it operates as a factory. While they also handle sales and distribution, their core function in Malaysia is production.

GE Silicones in Malaysia typically produces or sells a range of silicone-based products catering to various industries. These include:

Construction Sealants

For applications such as weatherproofing, glazing, and general construction, offering durability and flexibility.

Industrial Adhesives and Sealants

Used across manufacturing sectors for bonding, gasketing, and sealing a wide variety of materials.

Electronic Materials

Including encapsulants, potting compounds, and thermally conductive materials designed for protecting and enhancing performance of electronic components.

Silicone Coatings

Protective coatings for architectural, industrial, and textile applications, providing properties like water repellency and high temperature resistance.

Room Temperature Vulcanizing RTV Silicones

Materials that cure at room temperature to form durable elastomers, commonly used for gasketing, sealing, and molding.

Silicone Fluids and Emulsions

Used as ingredients in personal care products, defoamers, lubricants, and processing aids in various industrial processes.

Specialty Silicones

Custom formulations and high-performance materials designed for specific industrial challenges and unique applications.
