LANXESS, Pittsburgh,
recently announced the completion of de-bottlenecking operations for its
MESAMOLL®plasticizer and other alkyl sulfonic ester derivative plasticizers. It is
expected that this move will help the company offer phthalate-free plasticizer
solutions to global customers through the use of a continuous production
process in a dedicated facility.
“The MESAMOLL family of products is an integral part of the
Polymer Additives strategic market approach and puts LANXESS in a solid
position to respond to a rapidly growing market demand,” said Jorge Noguiera,
senior vice president and head of the Functional Chemicals Business Unit at
LANXESS.
