Specialty chemicals manufacturer Huntsman Corp. has expanded its manufacturing facility in Conroe to include new purification and packaging capabilities for semiconductor-grade chemicals, according to a press statement.
The addition of the E-Grade unit will allow the site to produce high-purity amines with low trace metals, including quaternary amines and amine oxides, the company said in the May 1 announcement. These materials are used in the production of semiconductor chips, particularly for advanced node applications.
The new system supports controlled production from blending through purification and packaging, aimed at ensuring consistency and reliability, the company said.
The expansion is intended to enhance Huntsman’s ability to meet global demand for semiconductor-grade materials and contribute to supply chain security. The company stated it plans to use its R&D and global manufacturing infrastructure to support quality standards required by the electronics industry.
