SINGAPORE: Solvay has inaugurated its new large-scale alkoxylation plant in Singapore, the largest plant of its kind in Asia, as part of its global strategy to expand the growth of its specialty surfactants in the region. The nearly S$50 million “on-pipe” investment will help meet that demand, complementing existing India and Chinese facilities and joining Solvay Novecare’s seven other alkoxylation plants in Europe and North America, according to the company. Located in Jurong Island, the plant receives a key raw material, ethylene oxide via a dedicated pipeline, and fatty oleochemicals from nearby countries, providing a safe and sustainable source of supply for the near and long term. “Reinforcing our presence in fast growing countries and proposing innovative solutions to our customers in our key strategic market segments in the region are the key principles driving Solvay Novecare today. The addition of this new asset in Singapore continues the execution of this strategy and will be pivotal to Solvay’s growth strategy,” commented Emmanuel Butstraen, president, Solvay Novecare. The unit produces specialty alkoxylate formulations for the agrochemicals, coatings, home and personal care as well as industrial and oil and gas markets in Asia, especially for those in key South East Asia countries such as Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.
