【台湾】中繊が高雄に新工場、ＥＧ年産40万トンへ

　中国人造繊維（ＣＭＦＣ）は、高雄県大社郷の大社石油化学工業区の生産拠点に100億台湾元を追加投資し、新たに年産40万トンのエチレングリコール（ＥＧ）工場を建設する。

　同社のＥＧ年産量は現在、業界第４位の13万トン。今回は高雄工場を取り壊し、最新設備を導入した新工場を建設する。台湾内外市場でＥＧの供給不足という現状を受け、工場設備を一新することで生産能力の大幅拡大を図る考えだ。

　高雄工場の林本儀工場長によると、新工場の生産ラインには三菱化学グループと英シェルの最新技術を導入し、工業用水の使用量を従来の20分の１に抑えることが可能になる。完成後は世界でも最も環境負荷の小さいＥＧ工場となる見通しだ。

Loyal Group
http://www.loyal.com.tw/

Mr. Y.C. Liao graduated from Taipei Industrial Collage and majored in chemical engineering, especially in resins and polymers manufacturing technology. He believed in the concept of “Trading and Manufacturing in joint force”, and consequently established Loyal Chemical Ind. Crop. in Kaoshiung county of southern Taiwan in August of 1976. The factory produces Expandable Polystyrene (EPS), Furan Resin (FR), and Phenolic Resins (PF) for the plastics, packaging, and foundry industries, which marked the beginning of joint effort of trading and manufacturing.

Mainland China started its economical reform around 20 years ago. The demand in plastics market also increased very quickly, during which Loyal products started its way into the mainland China market. Until now, King Pearl EPS is still well known brand name in Mainland China. The productions of Ningbo He-Qiao Chemical in October of 1993 has contributed a great deal to that.

With the success of He-Qiao, it wasn't long before Loyal expanded its manufacturing capability in China. In 1994, Loyal teamed-up with China's largest Pentane factory, the Kong Kou Industrial company, to found the Long Xin Chemical Industrial Corporation. Although the local partner was already producing Pentane, Loyal used its investment and manufacturing expertise to build a new factory, as the former one did not meet Loyal's standards.All new equipment, including automated machinery, was brought in and the factory's staff was trained in the latest manufacturing processes.

From now, Jiang Yin Xin-He-Qiao Chemical, will start its EPS production. The total capacity of EPS of Loyal Group will reach 135,000 MT per annum, which will be the single largest EPS manufacturing company in Asia. Depending upon the market reaction and demand, Xin-He-Qiao may start its 2nd phase expansion at any time, which will double its current capacity. This is the goal that the shareholders and employees of the entire Loyal Group are pursuing and hoping to see to achieve.

The business ranges of companies of Loyal Group include the following:

Dexco Polymers LP is an affiliate of Dow Chemical Company and ExxonMobil Chemical and produces SBS and SIS rubber products.

Dexco Polymers LP, a limited partnership of affiliates of the Dow Chemical Company and ExxonMobil Chemical Company, produces both SIS and SBS products from its dedicated facilities in Plaquemine, Louisiana.

Dexco Polymers' offers pure linear SIS (styrene-isoprene-styrene) triblocks, pure linear SIS/SI triblock/diblock blends, pure linear SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) triblocks, oil extended linear SBS triblocks and radial styrene-butadiene (SB)n and (SI)n products.

Dexco Polymers LP is currently (in 2009) celebrating its 20th anniversary as a 50/50 joint venture of The Dow Chemical Company and ExxonMobil Chemical.

　

The plant was built for about $20 million at Dow’s Plaquemine complex after a joint venture was formed between ExxonMobil and Dow in 1988.
