Huntsman to expand MDI capacity by 4,00,000 tonnes at Louisiana site

摘要

HUNTSMAN Corporation has commenced preliminary engineering to expand production of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) by investment in a new, world scale MDIplant at its Geismar, Louisiana site. The 400,000 metric tonnes expansion will leverage the significant advantages of the Geismar site, with its access to US shale gas, strong logistics base and excellent integration. The new capacity is expected to come on-stream in 2018 and will enable Huntsman to further support the growth of its customers worldwide.
