Sadara Chemical Company sponsored and participated in the GPCA PlastiCon 2016, showcasing its suite of performance chemicals and plastics products
“Sadara’s product slate intends to fill a significant gap in the regional chemical industry, where only 0.3 per cent of the chemicals produced are considered specialty chemicals. Commodity products form the vast majority of the Kingdom’s annual chemical and petrochemical production capacity,” said Sadara’s Value Park director Mohammad Alazzaz.
Fourteen of the 26 manufacturing units in the Sadara Complex will deliver products completely new to the Kingdom.
PlasChem Park is another point of focus for the company, an industrial park devoted to the downstream manufacturing and conversion industries that make direct or indirect use of Sadara’s products and raw materials from other suppliers.
A number of investors have already signed agreements for the Park, including an Ethylene Oxide (EO) and Propylene Oxide (PO) supply agreement with Energy Chemical Sources Company (ECSC), which is a JV between Halliburton and TAQA, to produce oilfield chemicals for the oil and gas industry; two supply agreements with E.A. Juffali & Brothers, the first for methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) for use in polyurethane system house applications, and the second for the supply of Butyl Tri-Glycol ether (BTG) for use in the production of brake fluids and other specialty chemical products.
