Taizhou, China - Sinorgchem has broken ground on a plant to make 5000 tonnes/year of insoluble sulphur in Taizhou, China. Sinorgchem is locked in a dispute about intellectual property with Solutia Inc. over a production process for 4-ADPA. Solutia is market leader in insoluble sulphur.
Sinorgchem's new plant repreents an investment of RMB 1 billion (euro 107 million) by Taizhou Sinorgchem Technology Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of Jiangsu Sinorgchem Technology Co., Ltd. It is being built in Binjiang Industrial Park of Taizhou Pharmaceutical High-Tech Zone. The first phase of the project will be engaged in constructing the 5,000-ton production line of insoluble sulphur with high content, high thermal stability and high dispersion, and is expected to put into production during the third quarter of 2012.
Established in May 2008, Jiangsu Sinorgchem Technology Co., Ltd. is a joint venture which is invested by the Carlyle Group through Carlyle Asia Partners III. It is the world's largest professional rubber antioxidant 6PPD, IPPD and intermediate 4-ADPA production enterprise.
