INEOS licenses Innovene PP process to China Shenhua Group

INEOS Technologies has licensed its Innovene PP Process for the manufacture of homopolymers, random copolymers and impact copolymers to China Shenhua Coal to Chemical Xinjiang Coal Chemical Company, a subsidiary of China Shenhua Group Corporation Limited located in Urumqi City, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China.

The 450 KTA Innovene PP plant, downstream from a MTO unit, will produce a wide range of polypropylene products to serve the growing PP market in China.
