Invista expands research centre in Delaware, US

NEWARK, US: Invista’s Specialty Materials business expanded its footprint by 20 per cent at the company’s 60,000 square foot Applied Research Centre in Newark, Delaware, US. The expansion provides the necessary space and resources to allow the Invista team to better collaborate with customers, develop new products and end-use applications, and further improve existing product offerings.

Invista’s Specialty Materials business was built by identifying applications and developing chemistries using co-products from nylon and polyester chains as raw material. The new area of the research centre will focus on three key business segments: DYTEK specialty intermediates, DYTEK amines and FLEXISOLV solvent solutions.

“Global demand for high value products in customer applications continues to drive our business forward. Expanding our facilities at the Applied Research Centre will allow Invista to continue innovating and improving its proprietary technology platforms, as well as create real long-term value for our customers,” said Bob Francois, President, Invista Specialty Materials.
