✦ Synopsis

of polar comonomers. The new SSCs developed by Atofina can produce polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) copolymers made with polar monomers. Substantial resources have been allocated by the company for this work. Atofina is to dedicate an 80,000 tonne/y line for metallocene products at its 260,000 tonne/y bimodal high density PE plant that is due on stream later in 2002 in Antwerp. The company has a 30,000 tonne/y capacity for syndiotactic PP at La Porte, TX. Metallocene isotactic PP capacity is also available at Atofina's sites in La Porte and Feluy, Belgium.
