BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chang Chun Chemical (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., a leading bisphenol-A (BPA) manufacturer in China, has started operation of its second BPA plant using proprietary technology from Badger Licensing LLC (Badger). The new 135,000 metric ton per annum grassroots BPA plant is located in Changshu, Jiangsu Province, People’s Republic of China, and is constructed on the same Chang Chun site as another 135,000 metric ton per annum BPA plant licensed by Badger which has been in operation since 2013.
Chang Chun Chemical (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. is an affiliate of Chang Chun Plastics Co., Ltd. which also operates two BPA plants in Taiwan, with technology licenses from Badger.
“Chang Chun’s impressive growth in the bisphenol-A industry has made them one of the largest BPA producers in the world in a relatively short period of time,” said Stuart Agler, president of Badger. “This marks the fourth time that Chang Chun has selected Badger’s proprietary BPA technology, and we are pleased to continue our relationship with them in this important market.”
BPA is a precursor to the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonate. Nearly 1.7 million metric tons of BPA capacity has been licensed by Badger and its predecessor companies since the technology was first offered for license in 2001.
