Nouryon, a global specialty chemicals leader, has completed the capacity expansion for organic peroxides at its manufacturing facility in Ningbo, China. The expansion has doubled the production capacity to 6,000 tons each of Perkadox^® 14 and Trigonox^® 101 organic peroxide products. These products are essential ingredients for modifying polymer properties and crosslinking rubbers and thermoplastics and can be used to enhance the properties of recycled polypropylene (R-PP), enabling customers to use recycled plastics in applications previously only accessible to virgin plastics. Perkadox and Trigonox are well-known brands of organic peroxides in the industry.

"Nouryon is a world leader in essential ingredients for the polymer industry and this expansion highlights our dedication to supporting our customers' growth across the entire polymer cycle. Customer interest in improving the properties of recycled polypropylene continues to rise, in line with increased consumer awareness and more stringent regulations," said Alain Rynwalt, senior vice president, Performance Materials, at Nouryon.
