Issue 4, 2013 - Spherical PP catalyst pilot test achieved

Spherical PP catalyst pilot test up to standard

A few days ago, from the Lanzhou Chemical Industry Research Center, the 15 kg/batch spherical polypropylene catalyst pilot plant undertaken by China Petrochemical Research Institute for impact copolymer polypropylene (PP) catalyst pilot test and industrial application test was successfully fed at one time, and a qualified catalyst pilot product (PC-2) was prepared, and 1.
5 tons
of pilot products that fully meet the quality indicators of T30S were produced.
The evaluation test results of the polypropylene pilot plant show that the technical indicators of the catalyst meet the contract requirements, which lays a solid foundation
for the large-scale preparation and industrial application of high-performance catalysts in the next step.

Spherical polypropylene catalyst is suitable for Basel's Spheripol propylene polymerization process, the current global polypropylene production exceeds 100 million tons, the application of Spheripol propylene polymerization process capacity of more than
50%.
In the past, because domestic enterprises did not master the development technology of high-performance polypropylene catalysts, China had to import a large number of foreign countries at a high price every year, not only technically subject to people, but also foreign large enterprises basically monopolized the domestic high-performance, high value-added polypropylene market
by virtue of their technical advantages.
Domestic polypropylene manufacturers are facing bottlenecks in the development capacity of high value-added polypropylene, and have no right to
speak in the high-end market of polypropylene products.
