The company said the launch of its new plant is an important milestone to better serve specialty additives customers in North America, and it complements its existing full-scale plants.
Nouryon has begun the engineering phase at its Expancel expandable microspheres plant in Wisconsin, moving one step closer to better serving its specialty additives customers in North America.
TRAMACO's microspheres are filled with a physical foaming agent that is encapsulated in a polymeric shell and strongly expands under the influence of heat while keeping the increased volume during cooling.
AkzoNobel's Specialty Chemicals business is investing more than €20 million to increase production capacity in Sweden for its Expancel product line for expandable microspheres.
