Clariant and Tiangang Auxiliary are constructing a world-class production facility in Chian for stabilizers for plastics and textiles. The facility combines the technology and production knowledge of both companies to provide even better process and light stabilizers for various growing industries in China, including automotive and textiles.
Clariant is a world leader in specialty chemicals. Tiangang is a manufacturer of light stabilizers and UV absorbers, with two plants in China that are backward integrated with production of key intermediates. China is a key market for Clariant high-end process and light stabilizers, which include the state-of-the-art Nylostab S-EED chemistry – invented by the company – a unique multifunctional hindered amine light stabilizer.
The facility is expected to come on-stream in the first half of 2019 and start serving the growing demand for high-end additives solutions in Asia even faster. The zone where it is located is an ideal production base for additives, with very good access to necessary raw materials and other support.
Apart from this Clariant has opened plants for Ceridust micronized waxes and AddWorks synergistic additive solutions in China. Clariant is committed to sustainable growth in China and therefore continues to invest across the country to increase its local production capability and competitiveness.
