Evonik Industries has commenced an integrated production complex for isophorone and isophorone diamine in Shanghai, China. The company has invested more than €100M in the facilities, which will have an output capacity of 50,000t/yr.
Construction in the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park (SCIP) took less than two years. Evonik primarily plans to use the output of the plants to serve customers in the coatings and paint, construction, adhesives and composite industry in Asia.
Evonik has 50 years’ experience with isophorone chemistry and continuously improves its process technologies. So far products based on isophorone (crosslinkers) were being manufactured in Marl and Herne, Germany and in Mobile, USA.
In addition to the new production complex, Evonik built an application technology service centre with state-of-the-art laboratories at the Xinzhuang site in Shanghai.
