Nouryon Completes Expansion for Organic Peroxides in China

Dutch specialty chemicals producer Nouryon has completed the capacity expansion for organic peroxides at its manufacturing facility in Ningbo, China. The expansion doubled production capacity to 6,000 tons of organic peroxide products each, which are sold under the Perkadox 14 and Trigonox 101 brands.

These products are used to modify polymer properties and crosslinking rubbers and thermoplastics and can be used to enhance the properties of recycled polypropylene (R-PP), enabling the use of recycled plastics in applications previously only accessible to virgin plastics.

Nouryon is a world leader in essential ingredients for the polymer industry and this expansion highlights our dedication to supporting our customers’ growth across the entire polymer cycle. Customer interest in improving the properties of recycled polypropylene continues to rise, in line with increased consumer awareness and more stringent regulations,” said Alain Rynwalt, senior vice president, Performance Materials at Nouryon.

“Asia Pacific is a key region for Nouryon and our most recent expansion in China strengthens our supply position even more,” commented Sobers Sethi, senior vice president, Emerging Markets and China at Nouryon.

This is the latest in a series of investments Nouryon has made to strengthen its manufacturing network of critical ingredients for the polymer industry in China. In 2021, the Company announced investments including an organic peroxide manufacturing facility at its new site in Tianjin and a new tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) and tert-Butyl alcohol (TBA) manufacturing facility in Ningbo.

In Asia Pacific, Nouryon produces organic peroxides in Ningbo and Tianjin, China; Asa, Japan; and Mahad, India.
