Volume 94, Issue 31
LG Chem will spend $350 million to build an elastomers plant at its site in Daesan, South Korea. The facility will more than triple LG’s capacity for ethylene-1-octene and ethylene-1-butene copolymers to 290,000 metric tons per year. Scheduled to come on-line in 2018, the plant will use metallocene catalyst technology. LG says the expansion will put it in more direct competition with industry leaders Dow Chemical and ExxonMobil Chemical.
The power is now in your (nitrile gloved) hands
