Petrochina Guangxi has entered into a license agreement with Grace to use its Unipol PP technology for its new 400 kilotons per annum single reactor line in China, said Process-worldwide.
With this move, Petrochina Guangxi aims to deliver higher value PP products to the local market. Grace has announced the signing of a new license with Petrochina Guangxi to develop a 400-kilotons per annum single reactor line using its Unipol PP technology.
W. R. Grace & Co. (Grace) has recently announced the signing of a new license with Petrochina Guangxi Petrochemical Company (Petrochina Guangxi) to develop a 400-kilotons per annum (KTA) single reactor line using its Unipol PP technology. The anticipated start up is in 2026. This marks the second Unipol PP technology reactor line that Petrochina Guangxi has licensed and the fifth that Petrochina Group has licensed from Grace for a total licensed capacity of 1,850 KTA.
This Unipol PP technology line in China can take advantage of the full product capabilities to produce homopolymer, ethylene random copolymer, impact copolymer, butene random copolymer, and terpolymer polypropylene resins. As a result, Petrochina Guangxi will be at the forefront of advanced PP production in China.
Petrochina Guangxi chose to use Unipol PP technology again because of the broad catalyst and product capabilities, robust production, advanced PP technology, and excellent services they have received with their current plants.
Grace's Unipol PP technology is a state-of-the-art process technology for producing high-performance polypropylene resins used in a variety of applications such as automotive parts, packaging, consumer goods, and infrastructure materials.
We remind, W.R. Grace & Co has licensed its Unipol PP process technology to Gail India Ltd for its 60,000 tonnes/y polypropylene (PP) plant at Gail's existing petrochemical complex in Pata, Uttar Pradesh, India.
