UNIPOL® Polypropylene Process Technology - SHAC® Catalyst ADT
SHAC® Catalyst Systems: Advanced Donor Technology Improves Process Operability and Product Performance
SHAC® Catalyst Systems, ADT Donors and the new CONSISTA® Donor Technology are complementary components designed specifically for the UNIPOL® Polypropylene Technology. They are also suitable for all other gas phase polypropylene technologies.
This platform technology offers polypropylene producers the ability to significantly improve reactor stability and process operability under adverse conditions and at the same time maintain or improve product performance properties.
A System To Meet Your Needs
The use of SHAC® Catalyst ADT allows for tailored product specific applications based on xylene solubles (XS), molecular weight distribution (MWD) and oligomers requirements.
The SHAC® Catalyst ADT includes two primary product lines. Both are used as external donors.
SHAC® Catalyst ADT 4000 Series
Delivers broad polymer molecular weight and are best applied in producing impact copolymers.
SHAC® Catalyst ADT 5000 Series
Produces narrow polymer molecular weight for homopolymers and random copolymers.
