Hallstar Opens China Research Center

Leading global specialty chemical company Hallstar has opened an application center in China. Located in Suzhou, the Hallstar New Material Science & Technology (Suzhou) Company will serve as an R&D and technical support base in the Asia-Pacific region, carrying out advanced research for applications in two core markets.

For the beauty and personal care market, this will include sun protection, anti-ageing, whitening and new ingredients that mimic the skin’s natural functions. For the industrial additives market, this will include polymer plasticizing, surface enhancement and processing improvements. Hallstar said a significant portion of the work will be based on green and renewable chemistry.

In the near future, sales, service and logistics support will also operate out of the facility.
