Perstorp announces production capacity increase for Di-Penta
Perstorp has increased capacity of di-pentaerythritol (Di-Penta) with 40% at its site in Perstorp, Sweden.
This is a result of improved efficiency and debottlenecking at all Di-Penta producing sites. Di-Penta is used in a vast number of applications such as UV cured coatings, synthetic lubricants, high solids alkyd coatings, fire resistant coatings and lead-free PVC stabilisers. Di-Penta brings properties such as a thermo-stability, UV stability, weather-, chemical- and scratch resistance. It’s also a very important raw material in many environmentally friendly applications.
Ensuring product availability
Since years back the entire industry has suffered from shortages in the Di-Penta market. To secure product availability Perstorp has worked to maximise Di-Penta production capacity. The complete strategy to meet customer demand for Di-Penta now and in the future also includes a number of innovation projects focused on application development for complementary solutions.
