Hexion Australia provides safe and reliable chemical manufacturing and distribution across WA. From bulk methanol storage and formaldehyde production to resin supply and toll manufacturing, our services support key industries including mining, construction, and wood processing.
Methanol Storage & Distribution
Hexion Australia operates a Methanol storage facility at Bunbury Port, address: Berth 2, 54 Casuarina Drive, Bunbury.
As the sole importer of bulk Methanol into Western Australia, we convert methanol into formaldehyde at our manufacturing site in Dardanup as well as distributing statewide to support a range of industries – Mining, Gas, Chemical Manufacturing and Motor Racing
Formaldehyde
Hexion Australia manufactures Formaldehyde (HCHO) in a continuous process using silver catalyst reactor technology.
This advanced facility is designed to produce high-quality formaldehyde efficiently and reliably. The use of a silver-based catalyst in the process allows for enhanced production efficiency and greater yield, leading to improved product consistency and lower emissions.
UF/MUF Resins
Hexion Australia provides multiple resins for the manufacture of particle board and chipboard. These are thermoset resins which are cured with the aid of a heat and catalyst. These resins are widely used in the construction and furniture industries due to their excellent bonding properties and versatility.
The product range includes two sub-categories, Melamine-urea formaldehyde (MUF) and Urea formaldehyde (UF) resins. MUF resins provide superior moisture resistance due to their chemical make-up. Our resins are made to comply with formaldehyde emissions standards.
Toll Manufacturing
Hexion Australia’s dedicated toll manufacturing facility is a DG liquid blending plant, with heating/cooling capabilities and DG liquid storage.
The plant is strategically positioned near major industries, such as mining, construction, chemical and wood processing, making it an ideal location for providing specialized chemical manufacturing services to a broad range of industries.
