Luran S acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) polymers
feature high surface quality and good impact strength
including enhanced color fastness
and deliver superior long-term performance
when exposed to UV irradiation and heat.
The polymers also have excellent chemical resistance.
For these reasons, Luran S is regarded as
the material of choice for exterior applications.
To strengthen its position as the benchmark styrenic polymer
for weather resistance, Luran S “SPF 30” was launched,
offering state-of-the-art UV stabilization.
DETAILS
- Continued commitment to meet
our customers’ increasing future demand - Expanding ASA and ABS production capacity
in North America - Underlining of the company’s
Triple Shift growth strategy
INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics,
announces today the final investment decision
to construct a new 100kt capacity ASA plant
at its site in Bayport, Texas, USA.
The new ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate polymer)
facility strengthens the INEOS Styrolution position
as the only global producer
with ASA production capacity in all regions.
Upon the start-up, scheduled for 2021, the new facility
will unleash additional capacity of ABS polymers
at the existing INEOS Styrolution Altamira plant
in Mexico[1].
A contract for engineering, procurement,
and construction has been awarded to
WorleyParsons,
a leading global provider for the chemical industry.
Alexander Glueck,
President Americas
“I am looking forward to offering our customers
additional ASA capacity allowing
for more flexible production of specialty grades
per their growing demand in the Americas.
In addition, we will be able to produce more ABS
in our existing plant in Mexico also serving
the growing ABS market,”
