Hindalco's new superfine Precipitated Aluminium Trihydrate (PPT ATH) plant in Karnataka
Hindalco Industries Limited has commissioned India’s first greenfield superfine Precipitated Aluminium Trihydrate (PPT ATH) plant in Karnataka. This new 30,000-tonne facility is poised to address the escalating demand for halogen-free fire-protection materials, a critical component in sectors such as electrical cables, electric vehicles (EVs), and other advanced applications.
The establishment of this plant marks a significant step for Hindalco in strengthening its specialty chemicals portfolio and catering to a niche but rapidly growing market segment within India. The focus on halogen-free materials aligns with global trends towards enhanced safety and environmental compliance in manufacturing processes and end-products.
The strategic location in Karnataka is expected to facilitate efficient logistics and supply chain management, enabling Hindalco to serve its customer base effectively. This development underscores the company’s commitment to innovation and expansion in high-growth areas of the chemical industry, contributing to India’s self-reliance in specialized industrial materials.
