19-Oct-10

Total Petrochemicals plans to expand capacity to over 200,000 tpa at its polystyrene plant in China’s Guangdong province, as per Plasticsnews. The new capacity at the Foshan factory will come on-stream at the end of 2010, and will let the company almost double its sales from the facility since 2008. Increased output from the expanded facility is aimed at the “high-end” markets in South and Central China. The company supplies PS to packaging, consumer electronics, home appliance and office automation markets.
