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.
Methanol
Methanol represents the core business of the company, with
sales of 600,000 tonnes per year. The major uses of methanol
are formaldehyde (for producing resins and chipboard) and
MTBE. Chempetrol covers 40% of all imports in Mediterranean
area.
Olefins
A range of petrochemical products is manufactured from
the traditional olefin stream (ethylene, propylene, crude
C4, butenes and butadiene). Today Chempetrol is marketing
about 160,000 tonnes of olefins to the main co-producers
in NW Europe, North Africa and S.E Asia.
Urea
Chempetrol sells around 200,000 tonnes of Urea a year in
the NW European market, mainly Italy.
