June 22, 2010... Dow Electronic Materials, a business unit of Dow Advanced Materials, today announced a multi-phase plan to expand their TrimethylGallium (TMG) production capacity to meet the increasing global demand for the material in the electronics market. TMG is critical for the production of LEDs and other compound semi-based devices. The company points out that exceptionally high-quality materials and precise delivery of metalorganic precursors are essential to building reliable LEDs.

As part of the expansion plan, the company plans to add significant TMG capacity in the United States at existing facilities to quickly address short-term demand. In addition, Dow Electronic Materials will build a new metalorganic precursor manufacturing plant in Korea, which the company expects to begin operating in early 2011.
