Vinythai launches €120 million bio-based chemicals plant in Thailand

In Thailand, Vinythai has commissioned its bio-sourced epichlorohydrin plant in Map Ta Phut, Thailand.  The plant uses Solvay’s Epicerol technology, transforming biofuel byproduct glycerin into epichlorohydron, an esential feedstock for epoxy resins, and it’s increasingly used in corrosion protection coatings.

The plant has a production capacity of 100,000 tonnes per year, and required EUR 120 million in investment.
