Nouryon starts production at new organic peroxide site
Nouryon has started the full-scale production at its organic peroxide greenfield site in Tianjin, China to support the increasing demand from packaging, paints and coatings, and construction customers in the region.
Nouryon is a global leader in organic peroxides, which are essential to manufacture a wide range of polymers used in the PVC and composites industry for products like coating resins, artificial marble, blood bags and other medical packaging materials.
According to the company, the manufacturing facilities are equipped with the latest wastewater and environmental treatment systems and utilise safety processes to minimise discharge of waste to air. This plant equipment design is intended to further improve the efficiency of manufacturing processes and support reduced water and energy consumption.
“Important growth market”
“Asia is an important growth market for Nouryon and the start-up of our new organic peroxide facilities in Tianjin is a significant milestone for us,” said Nouryon Chairman and CEO Charlie Shaver. “We have a long history in Asia and this strategic investment demonstrates our commitment to growth and delivering innovative and sustainable solutions that answer society’s needs, today and in the future.”
In Asia, Nouryon produces organic peroxides in Ningbo and Tianjin, China, in Asa, Japan and in Mahad, India. Recently Nouryon also announced another new facility start-up in Ningbo, supplying two key intermediates for polymers and composites production.
