Copolymers produced

JAKARTA (JP): Polypropylene producer PT Tri Polyta Indonesia announced yesterday that it has started production of copolymer polypropylene resin at its West Java plant.

Copolymers are a special grade of plastic.

Tri Polyta's new products, manufactured by its third production train facility, include a range of random copolymers and impact copolymers. Both types are expected to be in commercial production in the near future.

Random copolymers will enable the production of packaging, bottles and containers, household ware and plastic sheets.

Impact, or "block" copolymers, will be used in products such as battery casings, furniture, automotive components and appliance casings. (pwn)
