Abstract

Abstract : British speciality chemicals company Croda International plans to invest £27 million (c. €31.7 million) to expand production capacity for polymer additives at its Hull facility in the UK. The expansion will almost double existing capacity at the site and will focus particularly on slip additives such as Incroslip ™ SL [ ADPO, April 2014] and fatty acid amides, the company reports. The new capacity is scheduled to come on stream in late 2018.
