Two New Names in U.S. Polypropylene

摘要

It's not every day that you get two new entrants into the U.S. PP business. ConocoPhillips in Houston entered the market with its Copylene brand of homopolymers, random copolymers, and impact copolymers. They are produced at a 775-million-lb/yr plant at the Bayway Refinery in Linden, N.J. The seven-year-old plant is owned by ConocoPhillips but its output was formerly marketed by Lyondell Basel I Chemical.
