While our heritage was in polyethylene catalysts, a series of acquisitions, partnerships, and investments rapidly expanded our offerings across the polyolefin technology spectrum.
In 2013, Grace acquired Dow’s UNIPOL? Polypropylene Process Technology, a proprietary gas phase PP process technology for the production of a broad range of polypropylene products. Our UNIPOL? PP licensing and catalyst business includes UNIPOL UNIPPAC? Advanced Process Control software.
In 2016, we acquired the BASF Polyolefin Catalysts business, including LYNX? PP and PE catalysts. These catalysts allow producers to realize the productivity advantages of greater plant throughput and polymer differentiation across the entire range of polyolefin processes.
In 2018, Grace acquired Albemarle’s Polyolefin Catalysts business, which includes custom-manufactured single-site catalysts, metallocenes, activators, and a comprehensive series of highly optimized Ziegler-Natta catalysts for PE production.
With each acquisition, Grace’s industry-leading R&D, scale-up, and commercial manufacturing capabilities have been strengthened.
