Malaysia: BRB has opened a 10,000t/yr silicone synthesis plant to manufacture additives for the construction industry. The multipurpose silicone plant was officially opened on 2 June 2016 by Dutch ambassador and representatives from the Malaysia Investment Development Authority and the Royal Malaysia Custom Department.

The plant is designed to manufacture vinyl silicone fluid, silicone polyether, low viscosity polydimethyl siloxane fluids, cross-linkers and chain extenders, gum blends, silicone emulsions and silicone antifoams. Its silicone additives can be used in gypsum wallboard production and it has applications in the construction industry including mineral wool insulation materials.

BRB International has invested US$11m in the project. Construction began in May 2014 and was completed in the second quarter of 2016.
