NOVA Chemicals and Innovene announce catalyst license agreement with Westlake Petrochemicals
NOVA Chemicals International S.A. announced it has entered into a license agreement with Westlake Petrochemicals LP for NOVACAT(TM) polyethylene catalysts. NOVACAT catalysts are a series of proprietary, advanced Ziegler-Natta catalysts co-developed by NOVA Chemicals and Innovene, formerly BP Petrochemicals, for gas-phase polymerization processes. Westlake Petrochemicals will use the catalysts for its linear low-density polyethylene operations.
NOVACAT catalysts deliver numerous advantages compared to other commercially available polyethylene catalysts, including higher throughput, lower usage of additives and co-monomers and improved particle morphology. NOVACAT catalysts enable gas-phase polyethylene producers to manufacture a full range of butene and hexene resins that deliver improved performance for a variety of polyethylene end-use applications.
