LONDON (ICIS news)--Dow Polyurethanes has completed the acquisition of British Vita’s polyurethane systems business Hyperlast, the US-based chemicals major said on Wednesday.

Dow said it was planning to buy Hyperlast on 5 March pending regulatory approval.

The company said the addition of Hyperlast would expand Dow’s ability to produce innovative spray cast elastomers for the marine, engineering resin, oil and gas pipeline and automotive industries.
