Vencorex is increasing production capacity for aliphatic isocyanates with several industrial projects. Intended to strengthen the company’s position internationally, these projects will enhance production of the company’s HDI, IPDI, Tolonate, and Easaqua grades, as well as new products.
First, Vencorex will begin expansion of monomer capacity at its facility in Pont de Claix, France, by 70,000 MT. This expansion will be completed around the middle of 2016. Second, a new derivative unit for Tolonate is planned. This unit will have 12,000 MT initial capacity and is anticipated to be operational in Rayong, Thailand, by the second half of 2015.
Additionally, Vencorex will invest in new production of its Easaqua polyisocyanates for waterborne polyurethane coatings in Freeport, Texas.
