Momentive Performance Materials (formerly GE Bayer Silicones) uses TechniData CSM functions to manage substance data and the classification of dangerous goods throughout the whole concern. This allows the company to securely manage its environmental and safety-relevant data and to comply with legal regulations.

Company

Momentive Performance Materials was created from the sale of GE Advanced Materials to Apollo Management, L.P. in December 2006. They are the world´s second-largest producer of silicones and silicone derivatives and a global leader in the development and manufacture of products derived from quartz and advanced ceramics.
GE Bayer Silicones evolved out of the merger in 1998 between the silicones division of Bayer AG and General Electric Silicones Europe. As a result, the Leverkusen, Germany-based company is now one of the leading producers of silicone products in Europe, with production sites throughout Germany, the Netherlands, the U.K., and India. Together with its parent company, Bayer AG, and its sister companies, GE Silicones in the United States and GE Toshiba Silicones in Japan, GE Bayer Silicones forms a global alliance that ensures a market presence anywhere in the world.
