Polymers

The marketing of Polyethylene is a highly specialised field, requiring a thorough familiarity with the nature of the product, its application and all of its technical aspects. The technology of this dynamic product is continually evolving and so requires constant monitoring in order to keep abreast of changing technical information. In 1998, Chempetrol established a contract with a producer that had started a new polyethylene plant and the company achieved impressive results in its first year. All new grades have been tested by a team of Chempetrol's technical experts, and successfully approved by all its European customers. Now the company distributes these grades in Europe and North Africa.
