SNF India, formerly known as Ion Exchange
(India), has plans to set up a new plant of powder polyacrylamide in
Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The proposed plant would have a capacity of 10,000
tonnes per annum.
It may be mentioned that after SNF Floerger
of France took over Ion Exchange, the company’s name was changed to the present
- SNF India.
The French parent is reportedly a major manufacturer
of polyacrylamide based water soluble polymers and manufactures about 1,70,000
tonnes of polymers.
