What innovation means at Hexion

Innovation isn’t limited to grand breakthroughs—even a small change can set off a ripple effect, especially when sustained over time and applied broadly.

So how do we do it? We keep a diligent eye on the little things that matter most.

Innovating for a greener, cleaner world

We're always on the lookout for ways to innovate—not only in how we do things but also in the products we create.

Our goals are to reduce energy and water use, reduce waste, reduce harmful emissions, reduce or eliminate exposure to dangerous materials, enable production of products with more longevity and durability, and enable resource extraction with minimal effect to the surrounding ecosystems.

In a nutshell, we're constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation to make a difference in the world we share. Read about a few of our projects below.
