Overview

1,3-propanediol is currently unavailable in the Southeast Asia market. The availability of this compound in Malaysia will enable us to secure the value creation chain from the new polyester resin that can be produced, for example PTT. This compound opens up new business opportunities and will be able to boost local economy, positioning Malaysia as the leading producer of PTT in the Southeast Asia region.
