Ethylidene norbornene plant expansion, Belgium
Name of the Project
Ethylidene norbornene (ENB) plant expansion.
Location
Antwerp, Belgium.
Client
INEOS Oxide.
Project Description
INEOS plans to expand its ENB plant, increasing capacity by 7 500 t to 35 500 t.
ENB is used primarily in the production of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber. Owing to its wear and weather resistance, this high-performance rubber is increasingly favoured for use in the automotive, white goods and construction industries. Its unique molecular structure means that ENB is also used in the high-value fragrance industry as a scent carrier.
