    Polyplastics will build a cyclic olefin copolymer production facility in Leuna, Germany.

    Polyplastics announces plans to construct a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) production facility in Leuna, Germany to meet the growing global demand for its Topas COC polymers. The new plant, to be operated by local Polyplastics subsidiary Topas Advanced Polymers GmbH, will reportedly have a capacity of 20,000 tons per year, more than doubling the company’s current output, according to Polyplastics. The facility will be operational by mid-2023.

    The company’s existing COC production plant is located in Oberhausen, Germany, about 400 kilometers west of Leuna. Since the opening of the Oberhausen plant in 2000, a range of applications for Topas COC has been developed, according to the company.
