AkzoNobel NV has entered the design phase for a further chloromethanes capacity expansion in Germany. Chloromethanes are a key ingredient in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and electronics.
Production was recently expanded when the company converted its mercury-based chlor-alkali plant in Frankfurt to modern membrane technology, which increased the availability of chlorine raw material.
Chloromethanes are used as intermediates in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, refrigerants, silicone polymers and fluoropolymers, and are important raw materials for the construction and automotive industries, water treatment, cookware and electronics.
AkzoNobel has leading positions in chloromethanes, holding number one market positions for most of its products and applications in Europe.
