During the course of this year Bayer MaterialScience plans to start construction of a state-of-the-art, world-scale facility for the polyurethane raw material toluene diisocyanate (TDI) at the integrated production site in Shanghai. The relevant Chinese authorities granted permission for the new plant, which is scheduled to be commissioned in 2010, to have an initial capacity of 250,000t/year. The company's global TDI capacity will thus increase to over 700,000t /year. There are - plans to expand the production capacity of the new plant to 300,000t/year at a later date.
