PolyMax™ 600 olefin polymerization catalysts allow sustainable, robust polypropylene production at significantly lower operating costs. The phthalate-free catalysts produce polymers with excellent mechanical properties and processability, similar to polypropylene manufactured with established phthalate catalysts. Producers also benefit from the catalysts’ high activity, strong isotactilty control, and excellent hydrogen response.
Jointly developed by Clariant and Lummus Novolen Technology, PolyMax 600 series catalysts are an optimal drop-in replacement for phthalate-based catalysts. A variety of particle sizes is available to suit a broad range of polypropylene product applications.
