Evonik, one of the world leaders in specialty chemicals, said its first fumed silica production facility in China started operation on Thursday, which will fulfill local market's demands for silicones, coatings, adhesive, sealants and many other industrial applications.

With features such as thickening, thixotropy, anti-precipitation, and matting, it has been widely applied in industrial applications such as silicones, coatings, adhesives, and sealants.

The company announced one of its biggest investments in China of about 500 million yuan ($78.35 million) late last month, to expand its adhesive technologies innovation center in the high-tech industry cluster in Zhangjiang, Shanghai.

The facility is expected to transform Henkel's current Zhangjiang site into an innovation center for both China and the Asia-Pacific region, and reinforce the position of Henkel's adhesive technologies to serve a variety of industries and develop advanced adhesives, sealants and functional coatings solutions for customers in the region.

It will build a new production facility for polyurethane dispersions at its Shanghai integrated site, the company's largest site worldwide and home to 11 plants, in a move to address growing demand for environmentally compatible coatings and adhesives in the Asia-Pacific region.

By the end of last year, YTO Express had replaced more than 90 percent of its plastic woven bags with recyclable bags, and over 90 percent of its adhesive tapes used for sealing boxes have been slimmed down to minimize waste.

Every year, express companies use substantial volumes of packaging materials including plastic bags, cardboard boxes, filling and adhesive tape, most of which are non-biodegradable and place major pressure on the environment, Yang said.

Courier firms should also pack parcels in more environmentally friendly and economical ways, by cutting down the use of materials such as adhesive tape and fillers, and by recycling these materials, according to the new rules.

Swiss food giant Nestle and Aupres of Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido replaced their cardboard boxes usually heavily Scotch-taped with zip boxes, in order to cut down on the use of the plastic adhesive tape.
