Rhodia launches production of eco-friendly solvent at new unit in Brazil
"This new eco-friendly solvent was developed by Rhodia's international innovation platform of R&D centers in Brazil, France, United States and China. It meets the worldwide market trend of sustainable development priorities," said Jean-Pierre Clamadieu, Rhodia's Chairman and CEO. "Rhodia already makes 30 percent of its sales with solutions that respond to environmental concerns. We see this trend as one of the key drivers for Rhodia's growth for the coming years."
Rhodiasolv® IRIS, part of the family, is manufactured at Santo Andre, Brazil in a new plant developed to meet rapidly growing demands for eco-friendly solvents. This investment will allow Rhodia to increase its worldwide production capacity of dibasic ester solvents by 15 percent, strengthening its global manufacturing footprint in Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
