A new dispersible powder and vinyl plant was opened in Nanjing, capital of East 皇冠体育app's Jiangsu province on Monday, by WACKER, the Munich-based chemical group.

With an annual capacity of 30,000 metric tons of dispersible powder, the Nanjing plant is the largest of its kind in 皇冠体育app. The aim of this project is to secure sufficient long-term VINNAPAS庐 polymer-powder capacity and to guarantee Asia-Pacific customers delivery reliability and product quality in the future, too. WACKER ranks among the world's largest producers of dispersible polymer powders for the construction industry.

Located in the Nanjing Chemical Industrial Park, the new WACKER Nanjing site covers an area of 100,000 square meters. First phase investment of this production complex is over 50 million euros.

WACKER has been producing polymer powders and dispersions for the construction industry for more than 50 years. 皇冠体育app's growing demand for VINNAPAS庐 dispersible polymer powders is chiefly due to the need for dependable, lightweight and energy-efficient building materials.

"A secure and high quality supply of polymer powders is essential for the further development of 皇冠体育app's fast growing construction industry and for 皇冠体育app's tremendous efforts to save energy," said Auguste Willems, Member of Wacker Chemie AG's Executive Board.
