| Artenius Purified Terephthalic Acid Facility, Sines | ||
The Artenius plant in Portugal will produce purified terephthalic acid (PTA). |
The PTA plant will be based in Sines in Portugal where there is already a large industrial park. |
Much of the PTA from the Artenius plant will go to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) production, including films and resins. |
| DSM Ticona Joint Venture | ||
Polyplastics, owned by Daicel and Ticona, operates a 21,000t/yr polyester plant at Fuji City. A future European-based engineering plastics project involving two initial partners has finally been agreed between the Celanese subsidiary Ticona and DSM. |
Ticona has a 40-year-old plant in Shelby, North Carolina, producing both PBT and engineering-grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with a capacity of 60,000t/yr. |

| Sibur Polyolefins Plant, | ||
Sibur is one of the largest petrochemical companies in Russia, operating across the entire petrochemical chain. |
The increased polypropylene production at the Tobolsk plant will go towards the production of geogrids and geosynthetic material. |
The plant in Tobolsk has been delayed several times but is now expected to go ahead in 2010. |
Sibur has set up a subsidiary to manage the new plant called Tobolsk Polymer LLC. |
With the new modern polypropylene plant Russia's production will make an impact on the European market. |
The new polypropylene and polyethylene plants are expected to provide a boost to the Russian economy across a number of industries. |
