Nouryon Completes Organic Peroxides Expansion in India
AMSTERDAM — Nouryon (formerly AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals) has completed a €4 million expansion at a facility in Mahad, India, which will increase organic peroxides production capacity at the site by 80%. The increased capacity will support growing customer demand in India and the Middle East for organic peroxides, essential in the manufacture of polymer-based products such as athletic shoe soles, wind turbines and PVC pipes.
“This expansion allows us to better serve our customers and build upon our strong market presence, particularly in the PVC, acrylics and thermoset resin segments,” said Amit Salagare, Mahad Site Manager at Nouryon. “It also reflects our commitment to the site and steadfast efforts to strengthen the local manufacturing sector,” Salagare added.
