25-Mar-14

Repsol Chemicals Division is in agreement to license Chevron Phillips's proprietary technology for the production of metallocene-based polyethylene resins (mPE). Repsol, which is Chevron Phillips' first licensee in the area, will implement the technology in its existing integrated site in Tarragona, Spain, which already uses the latter's MarTECH SL Loop Slurry Technology. “We are pleased to continue our longstanding relationship with Repsol and to provide them with technology to help optimise their polyethylene product portfolio,” said Pawan Bassi, global director of licensing for Chevron Phillips Chemical. “We are proud to be Chevron Phillips Chemical’s first licensee to implement their technology to produce metallocene-based polyethylene resins, complementing our portfolio for film and packaging solutions” said Esteban Gimeno, polyolefins business director for Repsol’s Chemicals Division.
