Recently, Nouryon stated that it plans to expand the production capacity of its Expancel brand expandable microspheres in China
.
The expansion benefited from the relocation of the production base of the product from Suzhou to Ningbo.
Expancel expandable microspheres are used as lightweight fillers and foaming agents, which can make customers' final products lighter and have excellent thermal insulation properties, thereby reducing costs and environmental impact
.
For example, Expancel is applied to cool roof coatings that are highly reflective to sunlight, which can reduce the external surface temperature of the building by as much as 15 degrees Celsius, thereby reducing the use of air conditioning
"The market demand for expandable microspheres is growing, and the global sustainable development trend is also one of the driving forces for the development of the market
.
" Nouryon's senior vice president in charge of China and emerging markets said Sobers Sethi
Nouryon Ningbo base is one of its largest production bases in the world.
It has built and operated 6 factories for chelating agents, vinylamines, cellulose ethers, surface chemicals, polymer chemicals and organic peroxides
.
In the future, the Ningbo base and Nouryon’s existing expandable microsphere production bases in the United States, Sweden and Brazil will complement each other
