Thailand's PTT Polyethylene Company Ltd. (PTTPE), a joint venture between PTT Public Company Ltd. (PTT) and National Petrochemical Public Company Ltd. (NPC), has selected the UNIPOL PE Process from Univation Technologies for its polyethylene plant for its new facility planned as part of a major petrochemical expansion at its Mab Ta Phut site in Rayong, Thailand. The plant will include a UNIPOL PE line capable of producing 400,000 tpa of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). The facility will also be the first new plant in Southeast Asia to include Univation's metallocene catalyst technology.
Reliability and world scale capacity along with the advantages in investment and operating costs, were the main reasons for the selection of Univation's PE technology to meet the growing domestic demand. Univation Technologies is a joint venture between The Dow Chemical Company and ExxonMobil Chemical Company, and is the world leader in licensing gas phase polyethylene technology.
