ExxonMobil Expands Hydrocarbon Fluids Plant Capacity in Belgium

ExxonMobil Chemical is expanding the capacity of its hydrocarbon fluids plant in Antwerp, Belgium.

This expansion will focus on high performance Exxsol™ fluids, including Exxsol™ D, Pentane and Hexane fluids. The project will increase capacity at the plant by 10 percent and strengthen supply reliability. It is expected to be complete in mid-2011.

"This investment demonstrates ExxonMobil Chemical’s long-term commitment to meeting the regional and global demands of its fluids customers," said Elissa P. Sterry, vice president, Intermediates Global Business, ExxonMobil Chemical Company. "ExxonMobil Chemical is the premier global supplier of these products, providing its customers with high-quality fluids from manufacturing facilities in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America."

ExxonMobil Chemical has consistently invested in its hydrocarbon fluids manufacturing, technology and supply-chain capabilities. Recent investments to increase hydrocarbon fluids capacity were made in 2007 at Antwerp and in 2008 at the Singapore Chemical Plant. In 2009, the company began production of new Ultra-Low Aromatic Fluids, using proprietary catalyst technology in Antwerp.

ExxonMobil Chemical offers the broadest portfolio of differentiated hydrocarbon fluids, specifically designed for a wide range of applications including drilling mud oil, agricultural chemicals, metal working, polymerization process, water treatment, adhesives, coatings and reprographics. Leading brands in the portfolio include Isopar™, Solvesso™ and Exxsol™ D fluids.
