The expanded capacity will also offer more stable local supply and improve market response times, thus driving the growth of downstream applications. Key officials and executives from Shanghai Chemical Industry Park (SCIP), Invista S.à.r.l., Wichita, KS/USA, and the Shanghai Municipal Government attended the announcement event.
Located in SCIP, the expanded polymer site is fully integrated with existing Invista facilities, connecting upstream adiponitrile (ADN) and hexamethylene diamine (HMD) facilities and empowering R&D through Invista’s Asia Innovation Center. The site deploys Invista's PA66 polymerization technology, which uses an aqueous solution method to prepare PA66 salts without using chemical solvents. This polymerization technology simplifies the production process, enhances safety and environmental performance, and is more energy efficient than alternative technologies.
The project’s construction phase used a modular construction approach to reduce the impact on ongoing production and enable smooth business operations while accelerating the expansion project process.
Invista's polyamide 66 polymer is anticipated to replace metals in manufacturing high-strength, corrosion-resistant and low-density parts. The material's potential applications include functional apparel and outdoor equipment production, given the rising market demand in line with improving living standards.
