Grace licenses Unipol PP process technology to Hanwha

Grace’s gas-phase Unipol PP Process Technology provides the most advanced and broadest range of PP homopolymers and copolymers in the industry. As the simplest of all PP process technologies, with fewer moving parts and less equipment than any alternative, its reliable, stable, and predictable operation leads to lower capital investment cost as well as lower operating and maintenance costs, according to a press release by Grace.

“We are committed to providing high quality, differentiated products at competitive prices. Grace’s Unipol PP process and Consista catalyst systems meet our strict requirements for quality and value, which help us continue to exceed the expectations of our customers,” said Yu Byungchang, vice president of Hanwha Total Petrochemical.

“Grace is pleased to be selected to provide our technology and catalysts to Hanwha Total Petrochemical and to help them offer the broad capability and most advanced resins that deliver significant value to their customers,” said Laura Schwinn, president of Grace’s specialty catalysts segment.

Hanwha Total Petrochemical is a 50:50 joint venture between Hanwha General Chemicals Co, Ltd and Total SA, the French integrated oil and gas company considered one of the world’s seven supermajor oil companies. Hanwha is South Korea’s leading producer of purified terephthalic acid (PTA), a primary component in many types of polyester. The joint venture’s Daesan petrochemical complex consists of 13 separate plants, producing polymers, base chemicals, and oil products. (PC)
