To help its customers meet the need for hand sanitizers, wipes, sprays, liquid dish soap and other household cleaning products, Eastman says it will significantly increase its capacity to produce tertiary amines (DIMLA) at its Ghent, Belgium, facility by the end of 2021. Eastman has already significantly increased capacity at its Pace, Florida, DIMLA unit, according to the company.
“If our customers support our expansions, we will continue to invest in DIMLA,” says Bob Ash, product director for the company’s care chemicals business group. “We appreciate their patience as we complete the work. In the meantime, our units are running at a high level.”
Ash notes that further investments are being considered at the company’s Pace, Florida facility as well.
