TOKYO (ICIS news)--Japanese chemical producer Zeon Corp has held an official opening ceremony at its yen (Y) 3bn ($28.3m) integrated production centre (IPC) at its Mizushima plant, the company said on Thursday.

 

The facility, located in Okayama, would reduce production costs and enhance productivity at all integrated plants at a complex which produced isoprene rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, epoxy resins, isoprene monomer and butadiene monomer, Zeon said.

 

The IPC had been operating since April and ensured everything could be monitored from a common control room, the company added. 

 

Meanwhile, Zeon was building another Y10bn cyclo-olefin polymer (COP) project in Mizushima which would come on stream by end of July.
