Follow-up: Trial operations begin at new TDI plant
A little later than originally planned, Hungarian isocyanates producer BorsodChem (Kazincbarcika; www.borsodchem-group.com) on 11 July announced that it had begun trial operations at its new 160,000 t/y Hungarian TDI-2 plant – see also Plasteurope.com of 06.06.2011. The trial run is expected to last two months.
The line was made possible thanks to the EUR 80m financial injection of new owner Wanhua Industrial Group (Yantai, Shandong / China; http://en.wanhuagroup.com), which had acquired the Hungarian company earlier this year – see Plasteurope.com of 02.02.2011. BorsodChem says that if demand for TDI rises, the facility can be upgraded to 200,000 t/y output.
