Clariant opens new desiccant manufacturing plant in China.

In Zhengjiang, Clariant has the advantage of access to locally-sourced bentonite clay and the drying facilities offered by its Functional Minerals Business Unit to support its production of desiccant bags for export packagers, machine manufacturers and food packaging.

To meet growing desiccant demand from Asia, Clariant opened its first Container Dri II production plant in Indonesia in March 2014. Both sites are part of Clariant’s worldwide network for desiccant manufacturing, which also includes plants in Brazil, Turkey and USA.
