Perstorp adds more capacity


Sweden’s Perstorp has announced plans to add around 70,000 tonnes/year of new capacity for carbox- ylic acid — a key feedstock for its Pevalen and Pevalen Pro phthalate-free plasticisers — by 2024. The company said it will build a new plant on the site of its existing carboxylic acid operation at Stenungsund in Sweden, which produces acids with C3


to C9 chemis-


try. Both plants will be fully integrated into the site’s oxo


production platform. Perstorp, which is a fully


upstream-integrated producer of carboxylic acids, said that the decision to go ahead with the expansion comes during a period of high demand growth. It said the new capacity will support increased demand for its Pevalen polyolester plasti- cisers as well as bolstering its presence in other non-plastics markets. �www.perstorp.com
