Tosoh Corporation will be expanding its production capacity for high-silica zeolite (HSZ) at its Nanyo complex in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. Construction there on additional HSZ manufacturing facilities is slated to begin in May 2018 and to conclude in March 2019 at a cost of approximately ¥10 billion ($1.49 billion).
Tosoh produces HSZ in Japan at its Yokkaichi complex as well as its Nanyo complex and overseas in Malaysia. The Nanyo complex’s new facilities will raise Tosoh’s overall HSZ production capacity 30 percent beyond its current level.
HSZ is a synthetic zeolite featuring excellent thermal and acid stability. It is used to reduce environmental impact in purifying catalysts for automobile exhausts, as a catalyst in petroleum refining and petrochemicals production, as well as an adsorption material for volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
