BASELL ADVANCED POLYOLEFINS

BASELL ADVANCED POLYOLEFINS (Thailand) Company Introduction:

BASSELL ADVANCED POLYOLEFINS (Thailand) is a manufacturing plant.

It is a joint venture between LyondellBasell, one of the world's largest plastics, chemicals and refining companies, and PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (PTTGC), Thailand's largest integrated petrochemical and refining company. The company operates a polypropylene production facility in Map Ta Phut, Rayong, Thailand. It specializes in the production of advanced polyolefin materials, primarily polypropylene, utilizing LyondellBasell's proprietary Spheripol and Spherizone technologies. These products serve various industries, including automotive, packaging, and consumer goods, predominantly within the Asian market.

Basell Advanced Polyolefins (Thailand) produces or sells a range of advanced polyolefin products, primarily focusing on polypropylene and polyethylene, along with specialty compounds designed for various demanding applications. These products leverage LyondellBasell's global technologies and expertise.

Here are the main product categories:

1. Polypropylene (PP) Resins

Homopolymers

Random Copolymers

Impact (Block) Copolymers

Specialty grades for films, fibers, automotive parts, rigid packaging, and caps & closures. These often include grades with enhanced clarity, improved impact resistance, or specific melt flow properties.

2. Polyethylene (PE) Resins

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)

Metallocene Polyethylene (mPE) which includes metallocene LLDPE (mLLDPE) and metallocene HDPE (mHDPE), offering superior strength, clarity, and processability for films and packaging.

3. Specialty Polyolefin Compounds

These are tailor-made formulations combining polyolefins with additives, fillers (like talc or glass fiber), or other polymers to achieve specific performance characteristics. Examples include:

Automotive compounds for interior and exterior parts (e.g., dashboards, bumpers)

Reinforced compounds for increased stiffness and strength

Impact modified compounds for enhanced durability

Flame retardant compounds

UV stabilized compounds for outdoor applications

4. Advanced Polyolefin Technologies

Products derived from advanced processes such as LyondellBasell's Catalloy Process Technology, which produces unique polyolefin alloys and reactor-made thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) with a broad range of properties for applications requiring flexibility, softness, and impact performance.
