Orion Engineered Carbons (NYSE: OEC), a global specialty chemicals company, announces that it has debottlenecked a post-treatment unit at its Cologne, Germany, plant that produces high-jetness specialty carbon blacks.
Increase Production Capacity for Automotive Coatings
The debottlenecking enables Orion to increase production capacity and also produce
beads in addition to
powder. High-jetness
carbon blacks deliver a deep black mass tone with a bluish undertone and are popular in automotive coatings.
“
It’s challenging to push jetness above certain levels, and Orion is one of only a few carbon black producers that can do it,” said Markus Mahn, director of Global Marketing for Coatings. “
Demand was high last year and continues to be strong this year.”
Orion has plans to install a second post-treatment unit at its Cologne facility due to the rapidly growing demand for the company’s premium grades.
