October 18, 2010 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 88, Issue 42

Chevron Phillips Chemical will build a 200,000-metric-ton-per-year 1-hexene plant at its Cedar Bayou complex in Texas by the first quarter of 2014. 1-Hexene is used as a comonomer in polyethylene production. The plant will be Chevron Phillips’ third using a technology that makes 1-hexene without other, less desirable α-olefin coproducts. The company operates such a plant in Qatar and is building one in Saudi Arabia.
