Celanese Chemicals raises isononanoic acid production
Kronberg, Germany - (CZZ: FSE): Celanese Chemicals today announced that it will utilize available capacity at its plant in Bay City, Texas, to further raise production of isononanoic acid. The resulting increase in output will relieve current tightness in the market.
"By leveraging our technological know-how and optimizing existing production capacities, we have quickly raised output and in several weeks expect to be able to fully alleviate the isononanoic acid shortage," said Jan Hille, Global Marketing Manager Olefin Derivatives at Celanese Chemicals. "We have also taken special efforts to set up necessary logistic structures. Until product is available from Bay City on a regular basis, we will meet our customers' most immediate requirements with material from our plant in Oberhausen."
Isononanoic acid is used to manufacture base-stocks for synthetic lubricants, peroxides, paint driers and other chemical intermediates.
