On December 7 2009, China's National Development and Reform Commission(NDRC) has granted the approval on Yantai Wanhua Polyurethanes Co.,Ltd(Yantai Wanhua)'s plan to remove methylene diphenyl diisocyanate(MDI) plant to Lingang Industry Park of Yantai Economic Development Zone, Shandong Province in China and build an integrated isocyanate project at the same place.
Yantai Wanhua would invest a total of yuan(CNY)13.2bn $1.93bn to build the new integrated isocyanate plants along with other public utilities. The project covers an area of 215.727 hectares.
The new integrated isocyanate project includes:
