At present 30,000 tons/year metallocene polyethylene project of Shenyang Paraffin-wax Chemical Co. Ltd----wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenyang Chemical Co. ltd once successfully starts up with 100% on-grade products. The use result indicates that the product quality index is on a par with the imported products and can replace the imports.
MCN PE that is first manufactured by Exxonmobil Chemical of USA in 1991, is a polyethylene to produce by metallocene catalyst with superior performance of thermoplastics. In mature market of Europe and America MCN PE consumption accounts for above 22% in linear low density polyethylene. In 2000 or so China began to use MCN PE in large scale to mainly use for agricultural films, food packaging film, stretch wrap film and other products. According to introduction, adding 10% to 20% metallocene polyethylene can improve the performance of plastic product such as strength, translucency, sealing, tear resistance and etc.
Although MCN PE is applied vey late in China, average increase rate is very fast each year. In 2010 MCN PE imported 300,000 tons, accounting for 5% in linear low density polyethylene. Currently consumption gets up to about 400,000 tons. It ‘s predicted that MCN PE consumption in Chinese market still faces with high increase in the next few years with 13% rise rate in average per year. Shenyang Chemical selling MCN PE product in the market will not only benefit downstream plastic manufacturing enterprise, but also create new profits increase link for our company.
