Malaysia to Build Epichlorohydrin Plant

Epichlorohydrin or ECH is used for epoxy resins production, something that is not widely available in Malaysia. Spolchemie, a Czech epoxy resins producer is building an $80 million epichlorohydrin (ECH) chemical plant in Malaysia, the first in Malaysia, and the first for the company as well. The announcement was made in the 4th Annual CEE Chemical & Petrochemical Forum in Prague.

The construction of the plant would start in 2009 would be owned 100% by Spolchemie integrating the ECH chemical plant capacity with its epoxy-resin production. This is amidst rising concern of economic downturn with market outlook would be to supply demand in China and India.

Spolchemie has first intended Vietnam for the ECH chemical plant but found it lacks the infrasturcture needed. The project is part of Spolchemie plant to be a global player for epoxy resins producer.
