Last week, France-based chemical firm Solvay (through its Polyamide & Intermediates business) announced its plans to invest in a polyamide 6,10 production unit at the Saint-Fons Belle-Etoile site in Lyon in order to "better serve customers seeking for more eco-friendly solutions."No other information was given such as how much PA 6,10 will be produced in the new unit. Solvay said it is a major global producer of PA 6,6 polymers and intermediates, which include adipic acid and HMD. However, there was no indication in the press release that the company also produces PA10, which is the bio-based component of the PA 6,10.
