Solutia Will Close Plant In Wales

May 26, 2008 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 86, Issue 21

Solutia's Flexsys subsidiary will close its rubber chemicals plant in Ruabon, Wales, by the end of the year. About 150 employees will be affected. Flexsys President James R.

Flexsys will stop making Santogard prevulcanization inhibitors, Perkacit secondary vulcanization accelerator, and two Flectol products that prevent oxidative aging.
