NOVA Chemicals and BP Petrochemicals announce agreement with Grace Davison to supply new Ziegler-Natta polyethylene catalyst

14-Apr-2004

NOVA Chemicals International S.A. and BP Petrochemicals announced that they have entered into a long-term supply arrangement with the polyolefin catalyst business of Grace Davison for the manufacture of NOVACAT T advanced Ziegler-Natta catalysts. These catalysts, which are designed for gas-phase polyethylene producers, are available globally for license from both BP's Innovene® licensing business and NOVA Chemicals.

Both NOVA Chemicals and BP have implemented NOVACAT T commercially. NOVACAT T provides a stable and flexible operating environment and delivers higher throughput, lower use of additives and co-monomers and quick transitions to reduce off-grade. The robustness of this high-activity catalyst also increases its resistance to impurities, which extends its productivity.
