Ion Exchange plant to come on stream end-2010; 20,000-tpa compounding plant for engineering plastics by 2012

摘要

Lanxess is currently setting up an ion exchange resins plant in Jhagadia, which is likely to go on stream in end-2010. The semi-crystalline products business unit is investing more than euro 10-mn to build a compounding facility for the engineering thermoplastics - Durethan and Pocan - that will have an initial capacity of 20,000-tpa. This facility is likely to begin production in 2012. At this facility, the company is also constructing a captive power plant that will run on biomass fuels.
