Evonik Enters Implementation Phase for Polyamide 12 Complex
ESSEN, Germany — Evonik has completed the conceptual and basic engineering phase for building its new polyamide 12 (PA12) production complex on schedule and has now entered the project implementation phase. The complex is scheduled to become operational in the first six months of 2021.
The project, Evonik’s largest investment in Germany so far, is expected to increase the group’s overall capacity for PA12 by more than 50%. Additional facilities for producing the polymer and its precursors will be constructed at the Marl Chemical Park in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and will supplement the existing PA12 production plant.
