Oriental Energy Selects Unipol Process For New PP Facility in Zhangjiagang:: 5 Mar 2013 :: Shanghai- Oriental Energy has signed a license agreement with Dow Chemical Co.'s Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology LLC subsidiary for the use of Unipol polypropylene (PP) process technology for a plant to be built in Zhangjiagang in China’s Jiangsu Province. The 400,000-t/y PP plant will produce homopolymers, impact copolymers and random copolymers using propylene from Oriental’s propane dehydrogenation unit. A schedule for the project was not available. "We chose Dow for our first (PP) unit because Unipol is the industry leading PP manufacturing technology," explained Mr. Wang of Oriental. "With Dow, we will exceed market demands” for these PP grades. Tracy Cleckler, global commercial director for Dow Plastics Licensing & Catalysts, noted that Oriental will "be able to make PP resins that allow fabricators to run their lines at a faster rate, benefiting from the higher melt flow capability of some of the Unipol product grades." |
