Process Advantages to Keep You Competitive
With the UNIPOL™ Polypropylene Process Technology, you can enjoy these competitive advantages:
- Up to 650 KTA single line capacity for homopolymer, random copolymer and impact grade product mix
- Readily available industry-standard equipment
- Least expensive standard materials of construction widely used due to non-corrosive process
- No mechanical agitation in the reactors means fewer moving parts and less maintenance
- Close-coupled pelleting eliminating the need for intermediate resin storage
Additonal Benefits
Competitive technologies require additional processes and components. The simplicity of the UNIPOL Polypropylene Technology eliminates or reduces the need for many pieces of additional equipment. Fewer parts means lower costs and less operational and maintenance costs.
Competitive processes may require some or all of these:
- Multiple processes to coordinate and control –as many as three different processes in series
- Multiple reactors needed for large capacities or advanced products – as many as five in series
- Pre-polymerization and/or catalyst pretreatment
- Stirrers or scrapers in the reactors
- Solid separation equipment
- Membrane separation unit for reactor vent gases
- Intermediate storage and conveying
