Sweden's Perstory bets on specialties. 150105

 New OXO chemicals unit, greener products may spell success for 134-year-old firm.

As the economy began to recover in 2010, Perstorp doubled capacity for the coatings chemical

dipentaerythritol in Bruchhausen, Germany.

One of those investments is the new oxo unit in Stenungsund , which cost $ 150 million to build and

has an annual capacity of 150,000 metric tons.

A new raw material is butane, which allows Perstorp to make valealdehyde and 2-propylheptanol.

The Austrian firm recently penned a 10-year deal to import low-priced U.S. ethane and is upgrading

its Stenungsund site to accommodate increased use of ethane as a cracker raw material.

Advances in spectroscopy and materials science. contines 15103

再读这组把分析杂志与仪器应用结合编辑成 Supplemental information 是很好的组合.

前面10篇分析论文均属超微分析,对象多数是生物,医疗. 而后面扼要介绍的13种仪器多用於材

料. 现在仅举其中 rheology 例,说明有广泛的应用. 1. 在 parts 制造 . 由橡胶转向热塑性弹性体.

2. 由 rheology modifier 搜索 , 可得很多公司视频,如 BASF 称之: 小事介决大问题. 另外

3. 在 Drilling fluid 中的应用. 偶而找到网上有 2015 收集为数甚多配方的电子书,也用 rheology.

读后点滴,有不当,请指正.
