Air Products Plans New UHP Ammonia Distillation Facility in Asia
Air Products announced its plans to construct an ultra-high purity (UHP) ammonia distillation plant in Ulsan, Korea to serve the market in Asia. The state-of-the-art plant and transfill station will be operated by Korea Industrial gases, or KIG, an Air Products subsidiary.
Air Products will continue to manufacture UHP Ammonia at its Morrisville and Hometown, Pennsylvania locations. This new third location - Air Products' first in Asia - is being built to meet growing customer demand, and will reinforce Air Products' position as the leading UHP Ammonia supplier to the global Electronics industry. Air Products is also the largest supplier of UHP Ammonia to the U.S. Electronics market.
UHP Ammonia is an electronic specialty gas integral to such markets as Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Displays (TFT-LCD), integrated circuits and Light Emitting Diodes (LED). Each of these markets is evolving, driven by substantial growth in production facilities throughout Asia. Industry estimates have TFT-LCD technology - a part of the flat panel display industry - continuing to grow by more than 30 percent, while the LED market is growing by more than 10 percent, each per year over the near term.
