- ExxonMobil Autoclave LDPE Process
- Process
- Polyethylene processes
- Type
- High-Pressure Polymerization of Ethylene
- Available
-
Characteristics of the ExxonMobil high-pressure polymerisation of ethylene processes are:
- The tubular reactors operate at pressure up to 3,000 bar, whereas Autoclave reactor operates below 2,000 bar.
- MI range: 0.2 – 150
- Density range: 0.912 – 0.935
- Reactor turn down ratio: 50%
- Short residence times
- Reactor conversation up to 40%
- Ability to switch from homo-polymers to copolymers
- Product from the tubular process is typically higher in molecular weight and has more short chain branches than LDPE from the autoclave process .
- Produce LDPE homo-polymers and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers
