(wacker) -- Wacker Chemie AG is expanding its Chinese
polymer activities by investing around EUR40 million in building two new
production facilities at its Nanjing site.
As announced by the
Munich-based chemical group today, it is expanding the site’s existing
facilities for vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer (VAE) dispersions by adding a
new reactor with an annual capacity of 60,000 metric tons. This measure will
double Nanjing’s VAE dispersion capacity to approx. 120,000 metric tons per
year, making the complex one of the biggest of its kind in China.
The
new reactor is scheduled to come on stream in mid-2013. At Nanjing, WACKER is
also building a new plant to produce polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) solid resins with
an annual capacity of 20,000 metric tons. This plant is due for completion in
early 2013. |
