In order to meet the growing demand from the European market, Perstorp has increased the production capacity of Trimethylolpropane (TMP).
Perstorp has increased the production capacity of Trimethylolpropane (TMP), which common applications include the use in saturated polyesters for coil coatings, polyurethanes for coatings and elastomers, acrylic acid esters for radiation curing, esters for synthetic lubricants, and for the surface treatment of pigments.
The decision stems from the need to meet growing demand from the European market.
“The capacity expansion is fully in line with Perstorp’s ambition to further strengthen our position in the Polyols market. TMP is a key product in our Polyol portfolio, which is a core business within Perstorp. This product line has been instrumental in the development of Perstorp as an international company and we are happy to expand our position further to be able to serve a strong demand from the market”, said Filip Tauson, Global VP Polyols at Perstorp.
The expansion development takes place in Vercelli, Italy. Perstorp’s own TMP production sites are located in China, Sweden, and the United States.
