NOVA Chemicals launches SURPASS™ resins Single-site catalyst technology utilized in four premium film grades -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Pittsburgh, PA - NOVA Chemicals announced today the commercial introduction of four new film grades – the first of its new SURPASS line of high-performance polyethylene resins. Produced with NOVA Chemicals’ Advanced SCLAIRTECH™ technology and utilizing proprietary single-site catalysts, SURPASS resins deliver a unique combination of properties not found in conventional metallocene resins. “With our single-site catalyst technology, we’re able to tailor SURPASS resins to meet our customers’ most demanding needs,” said Dale Spiess, Sr. Vice President and President, Olefins/Polyolefins. “Processors no longer have to sacrifice or choose between desired properties, like toughness, tear strength, clarity and processability.” SURPASS resins offer significant processing advantages. Higher outputs, lower extrusion pressure, decreased power consumption and other processing efficiencies result in lower overall processing costs. “SURPASS resins give our customers the potential to excel in their existing markets and the opportunity to enter new ones,” said Spiess. FPs117-C and FPs117-F are performance resins for film applications requiring superior toughness, such as food packaging, lamination films and sealants. HPs900 adds exceptional clarity, while maintaining high puncture resistance and tear strength. The fourth SURPASS film grade introduced today, FPs317, offers improved strength and clarity versus existing resins in cast film applications, such as stretch film. Additional SURPASS film and molding resins will be introduced throughout the year. All of these resins are manufactured at NOVA Chemicals’ Joffre plant in Alberta, Canada. The site features a leading-edge polyethylene facility with an annual production capacity of 850 million pounds, expandable to one billion pounds |
