Perstorp increases neopentyl glycol capacity

Perstorp is investing in extended capacity for the polyalcohol neopentyl glycol by establishing production at its manufacturing site in Zibo, China.

Planned to start up during the second half of 2012, the new capacity will be established through the company’s joint venture Shandong Fufeng Perstorp Chemical Co., Ltd. According to Perstorp, the investment is driven by increasing demand for neopentyl glycol for environmentally friendly powder coatings in Asia, but specifically in China, and will amount to 40,000 t/year. The company is also producing the polyalcohol in its production facility in Perstorp, Sweden.
