Dow Chemical plans to build a new world-scale plant for the production of metallocene ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), sold under the trademark of NORDEL IP Hydrocarbon Rubber. The new facility, when operational in 2016, will set the standard in cost effectiveness and production efficiencies by incorporating the use of Dow’s newest proprietary catalyst technology and leveraging the production advantages of Dow’s large-scale, integrated solution process, The manufacturing site will be located on the US Gulf Coast, where location options are being assessed. The facility is expected to leverage Dow’s investment plan to increase ethylene and propylene production in the US Gulf Coast and will connect US operations into feedstock opportunities available from increasing supplies of US shale gas.
