MOSCOW (MRC) -- Solvay, a privately owned multinational chemicals company, will build a new manufacturing and filling facility in the Netherlands to produce Hydrogen Peroxide grades that are used as disinfection and decontamination agents to meet growing demand from the pharmaceutical industry, as per the company's press release.
The new facility at Solvay’s Peroxide production site in Linne-Herten, in the southern part of the Netherlands, is due to be completed in July 2015 and is part of Solvay’s Global Business Unit Peroxides ambition to bolster growth in high value-added specialties.
With this investment, Solvay responds to the increased need in the pharmaceutical sector for its INTEROXPH grades when used as Active Pharma Ingredients(API), and INTEROXSG grades when used as decontamination agent in this industry.
Demand growth is driven by the European Union’s Falsified Medicines Directive, a legal framework to ensure the safe production and use of medicines.
The site in Linne-Herten already manufactures Solvay’s main Peroxides disinfection grades for the European market, for both peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. It has in-depth knowledge in the complex production of purified grades, filling, packaging and labelling operations ranging from bulk deliveries to packs of 1 liter bottles.
1GMP or Good Manufacturing Practices are quality assurance guidelines applied in the pharmaceutical industry. GMP inspections are performed by National Regulatory Agencies.
As MRC reported earlier, in October 2014, Swiss Solvay unveiled its breakthrough innovation for surface cleaning formulations. While Mirapol Surf S polymers are a well-established range of polymers for hydrophilization of surfaces such as ceramic, glass, stainless steel, Solvay launches a unique technology enabling formulators to deliver the key benefits consumers now expect for even modern plastic surfaces.
Solvay S.A. is a Belgian chemical company founded in 1863, with its head office in Neder-Over-Heembeek, Brussels, Belgium. The company has diversified into two major sectors of activity: chemicals and plastics. Solvay supplies over 1500 products across 35 brands of high-performance polymers – fluoropolymers, fluoroelastomers, fluorinated fluids, semi-aromatic polyamides, sulfone polymers, aromatic ultra polymers, high-barrier polymers and cross-linked high-performance compounds.
