Polypropylene - Economics

INEOS Technologies Innovene™ PP Polypropylene technology offers the lowest cost with the widest product range available. The process uses a simple and robust design with an extremely low equipment count.

The Innovene™ PP technology is capable of making all homopolymer, random copolymer and impact copolymer grades on the same reactor train* using a single catalyst and producing more than 400,000 tons per year, thus providing the best polypropylene value in the industry in terms of capital and operating costs.

Low capital cost together with high on-stream times and rapid grade transitions also combine to give Innovene™ technology the lowest lifetime cost. INEOS Technologies unique agitated plug flow reactor allows for rapid and efficient transitions between product grades. Furthermore, the process can be easily and economically debottlenecked to produce increased plant capacities.

INEOS Technologies commitment to ongoing research and development means that Innovene™ PP technology will continue to bring high value to the world of polypropylene, now and into the future.
