Spain: GCR-plastic masterbatches & compounds, with CaCO3 & talc

摘要

The GCR group is adding a new production line at its plant at La Bjsbal del Penedes, raising its capacity for making Grant masterbatches from 220,000 tonnes/y to nearly 300,000 tonnes/y. Granic masterbatches are based on polyolefins, polystyrene or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), with calcium carbonate or talc fillers. The project should be completed in mid-2016. GCR's site at La Bisbal del Penedes (45 km northeast of Tarragona on the Catalan coast) occupies an area of around 8.6 hectares. The company also has a small Granic masterbatch plant on a 0.6 hectares site at Barbera del Valles (20 km northwest of Barcelona).
