Nouryon to Expand Ethylene Amines Capacity with New Facility in Sweden
Nouryon reports that it has successfully produced the first ethylene amines products in the demonstration plant, confirming the new technology on an industrially relevant scale and marking the next step toward full commercialization.
Nouryon recently announced that it has inaugurated a demonstration plant in Stenungsund, Sweden, to showcase what it calls a more sustainable technology platform to produce ethylene amines and their derivatives. The technology, which is based on ethylene oxide (EO), reportedly allows for the selective production of a wide range of end products, enabling Nouryon to expand its ethylene amine product offering.
Nouryon reports that it has successfully produced the first ethylene amines products in the demonstration plant, confirming the new technology on an industrially relevant scale and marking the next step toward full commercialization. Ethylene amines are key building blocks in several growth applications, including epoxy curing, oil and road additives, and wet strength paper resins.
