The Fire Retardant Additives (FRA) business unit, part of the Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) division of J.M. Huber Corporation, announced its Fine Precipitated Hydrate (FPH) phase two capacity expansion project at the Martinswerk Plant (Germany), which was approved in March 2018, is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.
This investment increases FPH production capacity at Martinswerk for high-quality MARTINAL LEO grades about 20 percent. The expansion project represents the single largest investment made over the last 40 years at Martinswerk and will also result in the delivery of several significant sustainability improvements (e.g., water reduction) in line with company objectives.
“This investment underlines the commitment towards our customers to support their growth and our strategy to grow and strengthen our global halogen-free fire retardant business,” said Martin Schulting, managing director of Huber’s Martinswerk FRA business unit in EMEA+I.
