DETAILS
W. R. Grace & Co. (NYSE:GRA),
the leading independent supplier
of polyolefin catalyst technology
and polypropylene (PP) process technology,
has granted a license which allows
PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Tbk. (CAP)
to expand its existing UNIPOL® PP plant.
The world-scale capacity UNIPOL® PP facility,
located in Ciwandan, Indonesia,
will be expanded to 590 KTA of polypropylene.
Grace's all gas-phase UNIPOL® PP Process Technology
provides the most advanced
and broadest range of homopolymers, random copolymers,
and impact copolymers in the industry.
As the simplest of all PP process technologies,
without any moving parts inside of the reactor
and less equipment than any alternative,
its reliable, safe, and stable operation
leads to lower capital, operating, and maintenance costs.
Mr. Suryandi,
CAP’s Corporate Secretary
“The expansion of our plant gives us the opportunity
to serve the growing PP market demand in Indonesia.
The UNIPOL® PP Process Technology
gives us the ability to make
a broad range of products
and remain highly competitive in the region.”
Al Beninati,
President of Grace’s Specialty Catalysts business segment
“ Grace is excited to partner with CAP
and enable them to expand their supply
of advanced PP products to customers in Indonesia.
Combined with our non-phthalate CONSISTA®catalysts,
the UNIPOL® PP Process Technology
will help the Ciwandan facility meet
the increasing demand for polypropylene resins
in the Indonesian market.”
