LANXESS Expands Iron Oxide Manufacturing Facility in China
Production increase of 10.000 metric tons per year
The rising demand for inorganic pigments in China is mainly driven by China’s ongoing urbanization. This mega-trend has led to a boom in the construction and paint industry. LANXESS’ new production unit progresses further in new markets for the bluish type blacks in the Asia region including China, Australia and India.
The new facility sets high standards in terms of environmental protection. The manufacturing unit not only recycles by-products from other processes into high quality black iron oxide pigments, it is also among the first in the country equipped with an ultra-modern wastewater treatment facility that is directly linked to an industrial water treatment plant. Thanks to this modern wastewater treatment technology and closed circuits throughout the whole plant, significantly less wastewater is generated in comparison to existing production units in the region.
