Momentive Specialty Chemicals has started production at its VeoVa vinyl ester monomer plant in Shanxi province, China. The plant, a production joint venture with Shanxi Sanwei Group Co Ltd, provides a second manufacturing location for VeoVa monomer, increasing current monomer capacity by about 30% and easing supply constraints for growing global demand. Commercial quantities of VeoVa monomer will become available for shipment in Q3.
