The new unit in Conroe will produce low-trace metal amines used in advanced chip production.

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.
