DETAILS
Nouryon (formerly AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals)
has started production of Butanox,
one of its
methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) product lines,
at its site in Pasadena, Texas, USA,
providing a local supply source
and enabling a better service
for customers in the North American market.
Nouryon introduced its Butanox-branded peroxides
to North America in 2018.
They are used for curing thermoset resins, coatings,
and composite materials for products
ranging from surfboards and car parts
to wind turbine blades and chemical storage tanks.
Nouryon now produces MEKPs at sites in
North America, South America, Europe and Asia,
close to customers in all regions.
The Pasadena project is the latest
in a series of investments by Nouryon
to better serve and grow with its customers
in the polymer market.
For example, the company recently expanded
its offering in North America
with the launch of emulsion-based organic peroxides.

“Butanox is the benchmark
for producing glass fiber reinforced products,
and its success in Europe and Asia has also generated interest
for the product with customers in North America,”
“We needed to start production here to satisfy
growing customer demand and we are poised
to expand production capacity to support our customers.”
