(PlasticsToday) -- Last
quarter of 2011 has seen phase-two expansion of Evonik's PMMA plant in Shanghai
completed and put online, thereby doubling the supplier's regional manufacturing
capacity for molding compounds made of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to
around 40,000 tonnes per annum. This latest expansion of the PMMA plant also
makes accommodations for growing demand in Europe as it helps to better secure
supply availability of Plexiglas molding compounds for customers outside of
Asia.
Evonik (Essen, Germany) sells PMMA molding compounds under the Plexiglas
brand name. It supplies an extensive range of the compounds to a variety of
industries, among them automotive and electronics manufactures and the lighting
industry.
Perspectives of development of the polymers markets, pricing issues and
other important aspects will be discussed at The Polymers
Summit-2011, which will be held in Moscow on November 30, 2011 at the
Ritz Carlton Hotel. The Summit is organized by MRC with the support of ICIS. The
main idea of the Summit is to find a "the golden mean" between producers and
converters. When producers receive exactly such margin of production, which
helps them to invest in production expansion in order to substitute polymers
imports, and the converters receive such price of feedstock that helps them to
compete imported finished products. The Summit site gives an access to the live
video of the Summit, speakers' presentations, as well as opportunities to ask
questions or make appointments to any Summit partcipant.
