"This project is part of Basell strategy to expand geographic presence by establishing, together with strong local partners, new world-class manufacturing facilities with attractive feedstock conditions in close proximity to target markets."
Just Jansz, President of Basell's Technology Business, said, “Basell's latest generation Hostalen technology can produce high performance multi-modal HDPE."
These grades offer advantages in demanding applications such as caps and closures and blow molding, as well as in specialty films, which are among the fastest growing applications in the Middle East.”
Lupotech T is a high pressure tubular reactor process for the production of LDPE. “The Lupotech T technology has a long and successful history, but recent advances have further enhanced its competitiveness,” Jansz said. “The process features broad product capability, high conversion rates and stable and flexible operation.”
Basell's complete portfolio of licensed technologies includes:
• Spheripol – polypropylene technology for the production of homopolymer, random and heterophasic copolymers. • Spherizone – next generation polypropylene technology based on new multi-zone reactor technology. • Spherilene – swing gas phase process for the production of LLDPE and HDPE. • Hostalen - low-pressure slurry process for the production of bimodal HDPE. • Lupotech T – high pressure tubular reactor process for the production of LDPE and EVA copolymers.
Basell also produces and commercialises advanced catalyst systems which are sold under the Avant trade name.
