Uhde Inventa-Fischer: Successful commissioning of polyamide 6 plant at Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corporation

Polyamide 6 plant to the south of Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam

In autumn 2011 the plant engineering company Uhde Inventa-Fischer and Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corporation (FCFC) of Taiwan successfully commissioned a plant for the production of high-performance polyamide 6 for textile applications. The new plant is located to the south of Ho Chi Min City in Vietnam. The polymerization plant uses Uhde Inventa-Fischer’s proprietary High-Performance Polyamide 6 technology (HPPA®) to produce an annual capacity of 47,000 tonnes of full-dull or semi-dull chips. The overall plant is designed to allow for fast and simple integration of a second 130 tonne-per-day line at the front of the building.

The polyamide 6 produced at the plant is highly homogenous, stands out for its excellent heat stability and UV resistance, and meets the highest quality standards. The material is thus perfectly suited for high-speedspinning.
