The site will become a global hub for Clariant’s health care business support. Clariant will also expand existing production capacity for its Ethylene Oxide Derivatives (EODs) and offer a broader chemical portfolio at Daya Bay. This will allow the company to produce more sustainable ingredients and help customers meet their environmental targets.

Hostapon (INCI: Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate) is an example of one of these ingredients. It is a mild surfactant for personal care brands and formulators in developing milder, cleaner beauty in applications such as solid beauty bars, body washes and cream-type shampoos.

Christian Vang, head of Clariant Care Chemicals, commented: “The many market segments we serve from Daya Bay are evolving to reflect changing sustainability targets and end-product performance needs, and we want to bring our own innovation and expertise closer to these customers to help drive their developments forward."
