The new facility, which will include purification, blending and cleanroom packaging, is expected to be operational in 2023. E-Grade specialty amines are used by the electronics industry to enhance the performance of semiconductor manufacturing.

“This expansion would leverage our expertise as one of the world’s leading semiconductor-grade amine suppliers to improve customer experience, meet stringent quality expectations, and offer a greater range of products to the growing and dynamic semiconductor industry. This project also would satisfy many of our customers’ requests to have a North American supply source for these vitally needed products,” said Chuck Hirsch, senior vice president of Huntsman Performance Products.

The project comes less than a month after Huntsman announced an expansion of its specialty amines and polyurethane catalysts at Petfurdo, Hungary, in order to meet growing demand. The multi-million-dollar project is expected to be completed by mid-2023.
