Evonik Launches Advanced Gas-Phase Alumina Plant in Japan
Evonik has officially started operations at its first advanced gas-phase alumina plant “Alu5” in Yokkaichi, Japan. The project, valued at tens of millions of euros, represents a strategic milestone in the company’s Asian expansion.
The plant will produce AEROXIDE gas-phase alumina solutions, designed for ultra-thin coating technologies and offering exceptional performance and versatility.
