Clariant opens two new additives R&D labs in China as it expands local innovation footprint

(AWP Alliance News) - Clariant opened two new Additives R&D laboratories in China, expanding local synthesis and pilot-scale development for flame retardants and performance additives. The sites are located at its Daya Bay production complex in Huizhou and at the One Clariant Campus in Shanghai, sharpening its ability to tailor products for China and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

The Huizhou lab builds on a CHF 100 million flame-retardants plant investment, which was inaugurated in 2023 and expanded with a second production line in November 2025. Clariant also pointed to its November 2025 joint venture with Fuhua on phosphorus-based flame retardants as part of a broader push to localize innovation and supply in China.
