Jam Petrochemical Company in Asalouyeh in southern Bushehr Province, hit a new record in producing high-density polyethylene last year (ended March 19), director of HDPE production said.
“Our plan for last year was to produce 306,000 tons of polymer in the HDPE unit with 35 days allowed for suspension of operations. However, we only took off 15 days and output reached 308,000 tons per year,” ILNA quoted Payam Rafiee as saying.
Polyethylene is the world's most versatile and widely produced polymer. HDPE is a thermoplastic polymer produced from monomer ethylene. It is used for producing plastic bottles, corrosion-resistant piping, geomembranes and plastic lumber.
