INVISTA
broke ground today on new
hexamethylene diamine (HMD) and
nylon 6,6 polymer plants
at the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park (SCIP) in China.
New plants at Shanghai Chemical Industry Park
will be largest capital investment in INVISTA’s history
The 215,000-ton HMD plant and
the 150,000-ton polymer plant
are expected to start up in 2015.
INVISTA has already received several government permits;
most recently,
the Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau
granted Environmental Impac
t Assessment (EIA) approval
for the polymer facility.
In addition to the HMD and polymer plants,
INVISTA has plans for a future,
300,000-ton adiponitrile (ADN) facility.
Once completed, INVISTA’s new facilities
will be among
the most energy-efficient nylon intermediates sites
in the world and
will employ INVISTA’s most advanced technologies
for ADN, HMD and polymer production.
The overall investment in these plants
will exceed US$1 billion,
which will be the largest capital investment
undertaken by INVISTA to date.
