Proviron to Invest in Storage Tank for ATBC Bio-based Plasticizer in Friendly, WV

Following four years of successful sales of ATBC in North America, the chemical company Proviron has decided to commission a bulk storage tank of ATBC (Proviplast® 2624) at its operations facility in Friendly, WV.

To increase support for ATBC plasticizer customers in North America, Proviron has installed a permanent storage tank for its Proviplast® 2624 (ATBC) plasticizer, which is now fully operational. The bulk tank located in the Mid-Ohio Valley will result in shorter lead times and delivery times, and a very reliable supply of our Proviplast® 2624 (ATBC) to our customers in the Nafta region.

Proviplast® 2624 (ATBC) is a bio-based general purpose plasticizer ideal for use in food contact applications such as stretch film or seal closures and numerous medical and pharmaceutical applications. Because of its excellent solvating characteristics it can also be incorporated in plastisols for flooring and coatings.

“Proviron is showing its commitment to the US market and has uniquely positioned itself to react quickly and efficiently to meet the ever changing customer demands. Now our customers can take advantage of Proviplast® 2624 (ATBC) which is readily available and can be shipped in pails, drums, totes and tanker trailers” states Biren Shah, Sales &Marketing Manager Nafta at Proviron.

“Proviron has been a global provider of plasticizers for over 20 years and this step is in line with our strategy to grow our phthalate-free plasticizer business further. This local ATBC bulk tank is a game changer for the North American market. This is a unique opportunity for our customers to reduce inventory and switch to JIT deliveries, freeing up capital” says Stefaan Depecker, Commercial Director at Proviron.
