DETAILS
Sadara Chemical Company (Sadara),
the largest chemical complex ever built in a single phase,
today announced the production of commercial quantities
of on-specification
liquid Polymeric Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (PMDI),
the largest single train facility of its kind in the world.
PMDI, which is used in the production of polyurethane,
is one of several specialized chemical and plastics products
that Sadara is producing in Saudi Arabia for the first time.
The start-up of the PMDI plant comes just five months
after the completion of its mechanical phase.
PMDI has a wide range of applications
that include
* the production of insulation foams,
* domestic and industrial appliances, automobiles,
* airplanes, textiles, furniture, and more.
The Sadara chemical complex in Jubail
is considered
the world’s first fully integrated PMDI manufacturer,
combining manufacturing units that produce
nitric acid, mono nitro benzene (MNB), formalin,
benzene, aniline and chlorine,
as well as hydrogen and carbon monoxide
from an integrated on-site third-party producer.
Ziad Al-Labban
CEO
“Starting up the PDMI plant puts Saudi Arabia firmly
on the world map of major polyurethane producers.
This is indeed a significant milestone for us at Sadara,
especially when considering
the unique nature and size of this plant
and how quickly we were able to complete it.”
