South Korean chemical producer Songwon (Ulsan; www.songwon.com) launched its “Songnox” IB antioxidant blends at the recent “Chinaplas” trade fair in Shanghai. The company said each blend is custom-made for individual customer's needs. “These products are particularly suited to the Chinese market,” said Min Tian, country head China at Songwon.

The company supplies additives to the Chinese plastics industry, helped by its two joint ventures in China. Songwon Qingdao Long Fortune Chemicals supplies Songwon’s complete range of polymer stabilisers and manufactures one-pack system (OPS) customisable solutions for Chinese polyolefins producers – see Plasteurope.com of 20.06.2016. Songwon Baifu Chemicals (Tangshan) produces thioester stabilisers – see Plasteurope.com of 26.11.2012. The South Korean company noted its full backward integration into key raw materials ensures it has a consistent supply of high-quality products for the Chinese and global markets.
