UCB Chemicals Makes Announcement

    SMYRNA, Ga. - UCB Chemicals USA has announced that, effective July 14, 2000, it is suspending the sales control that was placed on its 4 major acrylated multi-functional monomers.

    As a part of a major expansion plan to increase worldwide capacity of acrylated multi-functional monomers, UCB Chemicals recently implemented several debottle-necking measures at its Pampa, Texas facility. These steps have contributed to the plant's increased output of material to record levels of production.
