DETAILS
Sadara Chemical Company (Sadara)
announced today the startup
of its fourth and final polyethylene unit,
the High Pressure Low Density Polyethylene
(HP-LDPE) Train.
This marks a significant milestone for the company
as it continues
to bring its world-scale manufacturing facilities on stream.
The HP-LDPE Train joins
* the two Linear Low Density PE trains (PE Trains 1 & 2) and
* the one Elastomers train (PE Train 4),
which came on stream over the last 15 months,
to complete the company’s plastics plants.
Each of Sadara’s four Plastics plants
has world-class capacity and flexible capabilities
for producing highly specialized grades of plastic products.
PE Trains 1 and 2 produce a wide variety
of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) product grades,
while PE Train 4 is the first facility in the Kingdom
to produce Elastomers,
a very low density form of polyethylene,
and has the flexibility to produce LLDPE as well.
In addition to supplying international markets,
Sadara’s products will be utilized
for downstream applications by investors located
in the adjacent PlasChem Park in Jubail,
which is a collaborative effort
between Sadara and the Royal Commission for Jubail
and Yanbu.
Located next to Sadara’s chemical complex,
PlasChem Park
leverages advantages of the strong industrial
and services infrastructure in Jubail, secure feedstock,
proximity to growing and emerging markets,
and a qualified local workforce.
Collectively, these factors offer investors
unprecedented growth and development opportunities,
the potential to create thousands of sustainable jobs,
and make a positive and lasting impact
on the Saudi economy.
PE Train 3 is one of 26 manufacturing units
located in the multi-billion dollar Sadara Chemical Complex
in Jubail Industrial City II in Saudi Arabia.
Of these units, 14 will deliver products
that are completely new to being produced in the GCC.
Ziad Al-Labban
Sadara CEO,
"The successful startup of the fourth
and final Sadara Plastics plant
is a milestone achievement for the Sadara team
and illustrates the results of successful teamwork
at both the company and shareholder levels.
The products from the Plastics plants
will provide feedstocks which will support
the development of secondary and tertiary
manufacturing investments in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."
