AkzoNobel's speciality chemicals business has completed a $10 million investment at its LeMoyne sulphur derivatives plant in US, which supplies essential ingredients used in several major industries.
Located in Alabama, the investment includes a 20,000-dry metric tonne expansion for the production of sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH), which the company supplies to customers in the paper, leather tanning, mining and speciality polymers segments.
AkzoNobel is the only company to produce a high strength, high purity NaSH at 60 percent concentration, which means the product qualifies as an eco-premium solution, offering advantages in terms of energy efficiency, emissions and wastewater.
"This is a key expansion which will help to support growing customer demand. The LeMoyne facility employs unique AkzoNobel technology which provides NaSH at lower impurity levels and higher concentrations than competing processes, providing a significant sustainability benefit for customers," said Ignacio Garin, sulphur derivatives general manager, AkzoNobel.
