Nouryon has started full-scale production at its organic peroxide greenfield site in Tianjin, China to support the increasing demand from packaging, paints and coatings, and construction customers in the region.

The site consists of three manufacturing facilities and is equipped with the latest technology for safety, energy efficiency, and environmental protection.

Nouryon is a global leader in organic peroxides, which are essential to manufacture a wide range of polymers used in the PVC and composites industry for products like window profiles, artificial marble, coating resins, blood bags and other medical packaging materials.

“Asia is an important growth market for Nouryon and the start-up of our new organic peroxide facilities in Tianjin is a significant milestone for us,” said Charlie Shaver, Nouryon chairman and CEO. “We have a long history in Asia and this strategic investment demonstrates our commitment to growth and delivering innovative and sustainable solutions that answer society’s needs, today and in the future.”

The manufacturing facilities are equipped with the latest wastewater and environmental treatment systems and utilize the world’s leading safety processes to minimize discharge of waste to air. This plant equipment design will further improve the efficiency of manufacturing processes and support reduced water and energy consumption.
 
In Asia, Nouryon produces organic peroxides in Ningbo and Tianjin, China; Asa, Japan; and Mahad, India. Recently, Nouryon also announced another new facility start-up in Ningbo, supplying two key intermediates for polymers and composites production.
