Arkema and Essar announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding for the production of acrylic acid in India
The new world-scale production plant would come on stream in 2010. It would be located at Vadinar in Gujarat Province on India's Northwest coast, downstream from the recently commissioned Essar refinery, using propylene as feedstock.
"This unit should be the first acrylic acid plant to be built in India and would serve the fast growing acrylics market in this part of the world. Its location would be ideal to supply both the Indian and the Asian markets", comments Henri Dugert, Group President of Arkema's Acrylics Business Unit.
