Arlanxeo Steps Up Production with New Polybutadiene Line in Brazil to Meet Surging Demand

Brazil: Arlanxeo has reaffirmed its dedication to providing its customers in Latin America with dependable rubber supplies, as evidenced by the launch of its new production line in Brazil. The Dutch synthetic rubber and performance elastomers manufacturer recently announced the inauguration of a 65,000 metric-ton Polybutadiene (BR) production line in the Triunfo petrochemical complex located in Rio Grande do Sul.

Company has announced that they will be adding a new production line in Brazil to supplement their current production capacity. This move serves as a testament to their dedication in meeting customer demands for locally produced BR in Latin America.

BR is a polymer produced by linking multiple molecules of butadiene chemically. It is known for being highly resistant to abrasion and cracking, and for having low heat buildup. The material is often utilized to create essential automobile parts such as tire treads, belts, hoses, gaskets, in addition to heels and soles for footwear.

Arlanxeo's commitment to high growth markets remains unwavering as attested by their latest investment in a new Polybutadiene production line, signifying their confidence in Brazil and the wider Latin American market.

Brazil has been a hotbed of investments, including a new Nitrile rubber production line in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro and a Polychloroprene warehouse operation in Sao Paulo to supplement the existing production facilities in Caxias, Triunfo and Cabo. A business center in Sao Paulo also adds to Arlanxeo's noteworthy ventures in the region.

Arlanxeo's decision to establish a production line for BR in Brazil is a clear indication of the increasing demand for BR in Latin America. With this move, customers can now rest easy knowing that they can count on Arlanxeo to provide them with high-quality, locally manufactured BR that caters to the demands of the tire and plastic markets. The need to navigate complicated global supply chains is now a thing of the past.
