DETAILS
(formerly AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals)
has licensed its state-of-the-art
carbon disulfide (CS2) manufacturing technology
to a leading viscose fibers manufacturer in Indonesia,
enabling the manufacturer to raise output of its plant
on the island of Sumatra.
As part of the arrangement, any surplus CS2 volumes
produced by the plant can be marketed by Nouryon,
helping the company better serve
its customers in the Asia-Pacific region.
CS2 plays an essential role in many industrial processes.
Besides being used in fiber production
for products ranging from textiles to tea bags,
it is also used in agriculture, pharmaceuticals,
and mining.
Nouryon’s CS2 technology allows
high production capacity
in a single, cost-effective continuous process.
Nouryon has its own CS2 production in
Argentina, Germany, and the US,
and this deal marks
the company’s third license agreement.
Nouryon recently realized another CS2 milestone
with a commercial delivery to a Chinese customer–
the first time that CS2 was imported there.
Ignacio Garin,
General Manager Sulfur Derivatives at Nouryon
“Since the technology was implemented,
the manufacturer’s plant has been confirmed
to produce even better than forecasted results,”
"We are very pleased to see that
our technology and expertise can help
our partners achieve growth.”
Egbert Henstra,
Managing Director Ethylene and Sulfur Derivatives
at Nouryon
“Collaborations like these allow us
to build a global CS2 supply network
and simplify our logistics, as well as
improve our customer service and
better meet growing demand
for CS2 across Asia-Pacific.”
