Huntsman to Expand Specialty Resins Capacity by 4,500 Metric Tonnes
Huntsman Corporation announced a major step towards increasing its global production of all types of specialty epoxy resins following approval of expansion plans at its McIntosh, Alabama facility, which are used in demanding applications that require superior physical properties such as aerospace components, oil and gas exploration and high performance composite parts.
Huntsman Advanced Materials has invested significantly over the last 12 months in expanding its capacity and capability to produce these resins both in the United States and Europe. The McIntosh investment will more than double the sites production capacity bringing Huntsman's total global capacity to 11,000 metric tonnes upon completion of the project, expected in late 2014.
