Sweden-based specialty chemicals company Perstorp has built and commissioned an ISCC Plus certified plant in Sayakha, Bharuch, in the state of Gujarat, India to produce Penta chemicals.
According to Gorm Jensen, Perstorp’s executive vice president Commercial & Innovation, “this plant will increase the availability and reliability of products for current, as well as new customers, reducing lead times with about 50% for Asian customers. It is strategically located close to ports, rails, and roadways. This will help to ensure that Perstorp can supply products effectively throughout India and across all of Asia. At the same time, the plant is well positioned to also export products globally.”
Perstorp will produce a Penta product mix including its ISCC PLUS-certified grade, Voxtar™, as well as offering Penta Mono and Calcium Formate at the Sayakha plant. Reportedly, the plant will use renewably sourced raw materials as well as a hybrid source of electricity.
