In Gendorf, the areas of production, research and development are covered. Further application and product development centers for fluoropolymers are located in Benelux and Japan .
Dyneon's research brought about advances in the field of fluoropolymers such as the development of fluoroelastomers that can be used down to minus 40 ° C and PTFE with improved properties.
In 1998, Dyneon was 46 percent owned by Hoechst AG and 54 percent owned by 3M. In that year the company had a turnover of around 350 million US dollars with around 700 employees at five locations in the USA, Belgium and Germany. Hoechst intended to divest its minority stake in Dyneon in 1999 as part of the focus on core activities in the life science sector and the transfer of various chemical business units to Celanese AG. A complete transfer of ownership to the co-owner 3M was aimed for.
