Lubrizol is expanding operations at its Avon Lake, Ohio manufacturing facility to double the production capacity of Solsperse™ Hyperdispersants, commonly used by coating and ink formulators for pigment dispersant.
Lubrizol says this latest investment will enable it to support its global growth trajectory for dispersants and enable additional capacity expansion opportunities in the future.
This investment demonstrates Lubrizol’s ongoing commitment to the coatings market in North America. Earlier this year, the company also announced an investment to increase capacity of its acrylic emulsion technologies in Gastonia, N.C.
“Many segments of the coatings industry continue to rapidly grow,” said Marco Fay, vice president Performance Coatings, Lubrizol. “Our investments solidify our commitment to our customers that we are partners in progress who they can count on to bring new coating innovations to life. From 100% active, to water-based, bio-content containing dispersants, to high-performing additives for industrial and protective coatings, Lubrizol helps our customers achieve their sustainability initiatives and growth targets.”
