Nouryon to Double Organic Peroxides Capacity in Mexico
AMSTERDAM — Nouryon (formerly AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals) will double production capacity for solvent-based organic peroxides at its Los Reyes, Mexico, site, enabling it to support the strong growth of the North American polyolefin and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) markets. Completion of the expansion is expected by the second quarter of 2020.
Polyolefins are used to produce a variety of end products including films, food packaging and cables. PVC is widely used in the building and construction market in applications such as pipes, ducting, door profiles and window frames.
