AkzoNobel Plans Expansion of Organic Peroxide Capacity in China
AMSTERDAM - AkzoNobel's Specialty Chemicals business is working on plans to double production capacity at its organic peroxides facility in Ningbo, China, during the next two years.
A project to boost the capacity by 40% is already underway, which is expected to be completed by mid-August. The company is now considering a larger scale expansion that would increase current capacity by 100%. The site produces dicumyl peroxide, an organic peroxide used as a crosslinking agent in the manufacture of polymers.
