Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. (Tokyo) started the commercial production of a new plant to produce LUCANT, a series of hydrocarbon-based synthetic fluid, at its Ichihara Works in Ichihara, Chiba Prefecture.
With this new plant coming on top of an existing plant at Iwakuni-Ohtake Works, Mitsui Chemicals’ production capacity for LUCANT is now set to increase, allowing the company to comfortably keep up with the strong global demand for the product. Further, by moving to a two-base system spread across Iwakuni-Ohtake Works and Ichihara Works, Mitsui Chemicals aims to bolster its business continuity planning for LUCANT.
