Nouryon begins full-scale production at US-plant
Nouryon has started the full-scale production at its new expandable microspheres plant in Green Bay, Wisconsin, US.
According to company information, the launch of the new plant is an important milestone to better serve specialty additives customers in North America in the packaging, construction, mining, and automotive industries, and complements the Company’s existing full-scale plant in Sundsvall, Sweden, and product expansion facilities in China and Brazil.
Valued properties
The expandable microspheres are used as a lightweight filler and blowing agent to make end products lighter, incorporate high-performing insulation properties or better reflect light to reduce energy consumption, cost, and environmental impact. These properties are valued across a number of applications including cool roof coatings and automotive coatings and body fillers.
