Dec. 7, 2021
Ashland plans to increase production capacity for Aquaflow synthetic thickeners.

Ashland says it has approved and funded plans to construct a new nonionic synthetic associative thickener (NSAT) facility in North America. The company reportedly plans to increase production capacity for its Aquaflow synthetic thickeners and says the expansion reinforces its geographic growth strategy for rheology modifiers. The new facility will be located at an existing Ashland site in Calvert City, Kentucky, that was selected for its strategic location in the midwestern United States. Mechanical completion and commissioning of the facility is expected in 2024.
