Volume 95, Issue 30
AkzoNobel plans to double production capacity at an organic peroxide plant that it opened in October in Ningbo, eastern China. The company had started work to boost capacity by 40%, but it now plans to double the size.

AkzoNobel is also building a peroxide plant in Tianjin, northern China.
