Vestoplast Production
Degussa’s coatings and colorants business unit will increase production capacity for Vestoplast, an amorphous poly-alpha-olefin (APAO) used in the production of hot melt adhesives. In addition to the three existing production lines at its Marl, Germany site, the business unit is planning a fourth line to increase the current capacity of 55,000 metric tons to approximately 75,000 metric tons. The new plant is scheduled to go into operation in 2005.
