ICI: Capacity buildups for polyester and BOPP
ICI plc (London) plans to spend more than £ 60m on a new 20,000 t/y plant to produce "Melinex" polyester films at its Dumfries site in Scotland. Startup is scheduled for 1997. Most of the output will be thin films for packaging applications. The SA films division of ICI Belgium NV (Sluiseweg 8, B-9820 Merelbeke) plans to expand production of its biaxially oriented polypropylene films. Alongside a new plant at Dumfries, to be completed by Q4 1996, existing capacities at Merelbeke are to be widened.
