據ICIS-MRC網站9月24日莫斯科報道，據《化學周刊》報道，日本寶理公司（Polyplastics）表示，計劃在德國Leuna建立年產2萬噸/年的環烯烴共聚物（COC）生產工廠，該工廠計劃于2023年中期投入運營。

目前沒有給出投資數字。

該工廠將由其全資子公司Topas Advanced Polymers運營，將使該公司目前的COC產量增加一倍以上。Polyplastics公司在德國奧伯豪森已經有了一家COC生產工廠，但該公司表示，新工廠將有助于滿足全球對COC聚合物日益增長的需求。

自奧伯豪森工廠于2000年開始運營以來，該公司的COC聚合物樹脂已經開發了一系列應用，包括醫療，保健，光學，包裝和電子應用。 其補充道，基于CO2增強的聚乙烯（PE）單材料結構比其他多材料溶液更易于回收。

如MRC之前所述，寶理公司于1月21日宣布，決定擴大其在馬來西亞由寶理亞太公司（Polyplastics Asia Pacific Sdn）運營的工程塑料復合工廠。該公司是一家總部設在吉隆坡的本地全資子公司。

Polyplastics to build COC polymers plant in Leuna, Germany

Polyplastics (Tokyo, Japan) says it plans to build a 20,000-metric tons/year cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) production facility in Leuna, Germany, with the plant scheduled to be operational by mid-2023, reported Chemweek.

No investment figure has been given.

The plant will be operated by its fully owned subsidiary Topas Advanced Polymers and will more than double the company’s current COC output. Polyplastics already has an existing COC production plant in Oberhausen, Germany, but says the new facility will help meeting growing demand worldwide for COC polymers.

Since the plant at Oberhausen began operations in 2000, a range of applications for the company’s COC polymer resins have been developed, including for medical, healthcare, optics, packaging, and electronics applications, it says. Monomaterial structures based on polyethylene (PE), enhanced with COC, are easier to recycle than other multimaterial solutions, it adds.

As MRC wrote before, Polyplastics Co., Ltd. announced on January 21 its decision to expand its engineering plastics compound plant in Malaysia operated by Polyplastics Asia Pacific Sdn. Bhd. (PAP), a wholly owned local subsidiary headquartered in Kuala Lumpur.
