Argentina Initiates Anti-dumping Investigation on Polyether Polyol Copolymer

The Government of Argentina, by means of Resolution 462/2011, opened an anti-dumping investigation on imports of polyether polyol copolymer, comprised of oxypropylen and oxyethylen monomeric units, with a molecular weight between 2900 and 3500, with 47 to 58 hydroxiles, and a viscosity between 400 cST and 600 cST at 25 degrees Celsius, with a maximum color of 35 APHA from the United States of America (N.C.M. 3907.20.39).
