One of the American plants under development has capacity for 45,000 tons (40,815 t); the capacity of two others is 60,000 tons (54,420 t) each; and another has 80,000 tons (72,560 t). The Chemtex plant in Italy is rated at 40,000 tons (36,280 t) and the Sinopec plant under construction in China has a capacity of 80,000 tons.
