JGSOC’s current polyolefins manufacturing processes are based on UNIPOL™ PE and PP Process Technology and MarTECH™ PE Process Technology. Univation Technologies, LLC is the licensor for UNIPOL™ PE Process, while W.R. Grace & Co. is the licensor for UNIPOL™ PP Process Technology. Chevron Phillips Chemical Company in turn licenses the MarTECH™ PE Process Technology.

Process Overview

UNIPOL™ technology is a single reactor gas-phase process, which is known for its safety, environment-friendliness, simplicity, operational stability, cost-effectiveness and versatility. UNIPOL™’s relatively low pressures and low temperatures eliminate over-pressurization and runaway reactions, making it one of the safest PE and PP polymerization technologies available today.

JGSPC is the largest manufacturer of polyolefins in the Philippines. It is the first and only integrated PE and PP resin manufacturer in the country. It produces HDPE, LLDPE, PP Homopolymer and PP Random Copolymer resins marketed under the EVALENE^® brand using the world-renowned UNIPOL™ gas phase technology. In 2022, JGSPC will also start to manufacture PE resins using another world-leading technology, the MarTECH ™ loop slurry process.

By 2021, JGSPC’s production capacities shall be 320 KTA of polyethylene and 300 KTA of polypropylene using the UNIPOL™ Process, while an additional 250 kTA of polyethylene capacity will be added in first quarter of 2022 using the MarTECH™ Process. With the expanded capacities, JGSPC is now able to expand its current PE and PP grade slate to introduce additional grades for higher-value applications.
