Chemtura Corp. is bringing back a name that's familiar in the chemical industry, making Great Lakes Solutions the name of its flame-retardant, brominated performance products and fumigants business.
Chemtura announced the Great Lakes Solutions brand name at K 2010. The name is familiar to many Chemtura customers — Chemtura was formed by the merger of Great Lakes Chemical Corp. and Crompton Corp. in 2005.
The company said its customers associate Great Lakes with innovative products.
Chemtura also introduced a new Emerald-brand series of flame-retardant products at the show, including three marketed as green alternatives to existing ones and targeted at electrical/ electronics and construction.
