Dow Basic Plastics Licensing and Catalyst has increased capacity at its SHAC™ Catalyst plant in Louisiana by 20%. The highly efficient SHAC Catalysts are used in the production of polypropylene (PP), and are the preferred catalyst technology for facilities that license UNIPOL™ Polypropylene Process Technology. As per a release, the Company is increasing capacity for its SHAC™ Catalyst and the new family of Advanced Donor Technology (ADT) in light of increased demand for these catalysts systems.
Advantaged SHAC Catalyst Systems combine catalyst and ADT together to deliver high selectivity and high activity - enabling the production of a wider range of competitive polypropylene products and grades to suit a full range of market needs. In addition, SHAC Catalyst Systems are said to improve margins for PP producers by allowing higher throughput and greater production efficiency.
