December 3, 2024 – Tianjin Petrochemical has announced a significant breakthrough in the domestic polyethylene market with the successful development and inaugural production of PE-L H2799D, a new polyethylene product boasting the highest melt index in China. This remarkable achievement, with a melt index surpassing 150 grams per 10 minutes, not only fills a gap in the domestic industry but also solidifies Tianjin Petrochemical’s position in the high-end and differentiated development of polyolefin products.
The melt index is a crucial indicator for assessing the processing performance, mechanical properties, and application scope of polyethylene. In response to market demands, Tianjin Petrochemical leveraged its proprietary technology and, after numerous trials and optimizations, successfully introduced this high-melt-index polyethylene product. The new offering, characterized by exceptional flowability, high gloss, superb dispersion performance, and outstanding processing properties, has swiftly garnered attention from high-end emerging sectors such as industrial wax production, resin viscosity reduction, and sealing.
According to industry sources, the production process posed significant challenges for Tianjin Petrochemical’s technical and operational teams. To ensure the smooth production of the new product, they devised comprehensive operational plans, encompassing raw material selection, process flow, and equipment configuration. Through meticulous simulation and fine-tuning of process parameters, the team overcame a series of technical hurdles and implemented targeted measures, ultimately culminating in the successful launch of the new product. This achievement not only highlights Tianjin Petrochemical’s robust capabilities in polyethylene product research and production but also injects new vitality into the high-quality development of the domestic polyolefin industry.
