Evonik expands production of crosslinking boosters in Wesseling
In the products triallyl cyanurate (TAC) and triallyl isocyanurate (TAICROS®), Evonik offers two high-quality crosslinking boosters. Given the planned expansion of production capacities in Wesseling at the end of 2013, it will be possible to produce TAC and TAICROS® in significantly larger quantities. "For Evonik the expansion of the plant is a logical response to rising market demand," says Matthias Hau, head of Evonik's Agrochemicals & Polymer additives Business Line. This venture is expected to create 13 new jobs; the investment involved is in the low double-digit million euro range.
The highly active crosslinking additives TAC and TAICROS® are used in plastics and rubber. Important growth drivers here are the growth of the global photovoltaics market and the increasingly stringent quality requirements of producers of photovoltaic modules.
