Kazanorgsintez Produces Bimodal Pipe Resin For PE-100 Application Using Univation Technologies' Single Reactor Technology

Houston,TX - Univation Technologies, LLC, confirmed recently Kazanorgsintez completed its first production of bimodal pipe resin for PE-100 applications. This large-scale UNIPOL PE single-reactor run using PRODIGY Bimodal Catalyst for pipe is believed to be the first time pipe resin has been produced for PE-100 in the former Soviet Union. The pipe manufactured with this bimodal resin will be used to conduct PE-100 certification tests.

The expansion to the existing high density polyethylene (HDPE) plant involved modification of two HDPE lines by increasing their capacity to 220 kta each. Kazanorgsintez has the capability to utilize Univation's newest bimodal HDPE technologies as well as a broad slate of polyethylene including high-density, linear low-density and metallocenes.

"Providing advanced technologies, such as our PRODIGY Bimodal Catalyst, developed specifically for our UNIPOL PE Process, broadens licensees' HDPE capabilities and provides additional opportunities for growth in the PE marketplace," noted Kenneth Glover, President, Univation Technologies.
