Perstorp Capacity Expansion Will Boost Annual Penta Production
MALMO, Sweden - As the global demand for pentaerythritol (Penta) keeps growing, Perstorp is increasing the effective annual Penta production capacity at its Bruchhausen/Arnsberg plant in Germany by 12.5%. The Penta polyols are widely used in resins for coatings in the building and construction and steel works industry, from architectural wood to marine paints.
“Our plant has successfully obtained the ISCC PLUS International Sustainability Carbon Certification, an important milestone in Perstorp’s ambitious pro-environment quest to become finite material neutral. The expansion work at Site Bruchhausen started in June 2018 and is well on track for completion in May,” said Ulrika Andersson, EVP Business Area Specialty Polyols & Solutions at Perstorp. “The added capacity and ISCC certification of Site Bruchhausen as well as introducing Voxtar™ production in Bruchhausen will significantly extend the security of supply of Voxtar™, ensuring a continued security to meet our customers’ increased demand of pro-environment polyols”, said Ulrika.
