Aclar film is a transparent moisture barrier material, which is widely used in pharmaceutical packaging. The growth of existing production capacity and the improvement of overall productivity are expected to increase the production of Aclar at the potsville plant in the United States by 23% before the end of 2008 when 2 lactide (LA) is a chiral molecule
in order to support the growing customer demand in China and Asia, Honeywell special materials group established the Asia Pacific Technology Center in Shanghai Zhangjiang High Tech Park at the end of 2004. The technology center is one of the seven advanced R & D centers of special materials group in the world and the only advanced R & D center in the Asia Pacific region.

Another plant for assembling disc centrifuges has also been put into production. At present, Alfa Laval has invested 40million yuan (about 3.6 million euros) in the expansion of Jiangyin factory. The new investment will double the output of plate heat exchangers to an annual average of 10000 pieces, and increase the annual output of rubber sealing gaskets by 40%. If Jiangyin's experimental machine responds very quickly (this is the intention of active control to try to reach), the expansion of the factory will add 100 jobsat the same time, Kunshan factory expanded last year due to the substantial increase in sales and production demand from another factory. The new investment of 17million yuan (about 1.5 million euros) will increase the production of Kunshan factory from 900 pieces in 2007 to 2500 pieces next year
