Evonik has upgraded its Shanghai UV coating equipment with a five-roll platform designed to better replicate label and release-liner production conditions.
Ascend Performance Materials announced the start of high-purity acrylonitrile production at its Chocolate Bayou plant following new equipment upgrades.
A newly updated and automated production line is up and running at AkzoNobel’s Suzhou site in China, part of a €14 million investment designed to accelerate growth and double the plant’s capacity for marine and protective coatings by 2025.
The significant capacity expansion at the Kalama site has been successfully completed. Benzyl alcohol is used as a solvent and intermediate, and is highly valued due to its low volatility and low toxicity.
AkzoNobel is building a plant in Chungli District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan, that will allow customers in Taiwan more access to the company's advanced powder coatings solutions.
