Nouryon has signed a five-year license agreement with Shaanxi Beiyuan Chemical Group Co., Ltd. (Beiyuan), one of the leading producers of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in China.
Under the agreement, Nouryon will license its innovative Continuous Initiator Dosing (CiD) technology to Beiyuan, and will supply its Trigonox® 187 proprietary CiD initiator, which will be produced at Nouryon’s new world-class site in Tianjin, China. The partnership with Beiyuan builds on Nouryon’s successful track record of supplying CiD technology to customers throughout EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and the Americas.
“As one of the largest global producers of polymerization initiators for PVC, Nouryon is excited to partner with Beiyuan and extend our technology to China. Nouryon’s patented CiD technology will allow Beiyuan to increase reactor output, while improving productivity and energy consumption, product quality and operational safety,” said Alain Rynwalt, Vice President Polymer Specialties at Nouryon.
Advancing the PVC Market and Creating More Value in China
PVC has become one of the most widely used materials in the world for many essential products including pipes, electronic cables, medical containers and tubing. Due to its fire and weather resistance, its electrical insulation and blending versatility, it is used predominately in the construction, automotive and healthcare markets.
“
With this agreement, we look forward to advancing the PVC market and creating more value in China. By automating the handling of polymerization initiators, PVC production will be a safer and more efficient process with less energy usage. We believe our partnership with Nouryon will keep us at the forefront of the industry and will help us to address increasingly stringent environmental and safety regulations,” said Yancai Liu, General Manager at Beiyuan
“
Our customers around the world are demanding more sustainable solutions and are therefore making the shift to CiD technology for PVC production. We are committed to helping our customers grow in China by sharing our expertise. For Nouryon, helping our customers become more successful is the key to our long-term partnerships for mutual growth,” said Sobers Sethi, Senior Vice President of Emerging Markets and China at Nouryon.
