HYPORE is a recently launched portfolio of advanced silica supports and silica-supported chromium catalyst precursors for polyethylene catalyst systems. HYPORE is the result of a multi-year, internally led research, product development, and commercialization program that has taken the technology from laboratory development through pilot production to commercial-scale manufacturing and customer qualification. Rather than developing a single standardized silica product, HYPORE represents a flexible silica support and catalyst-precursor platform capable of tailoring critical physical and chemical properties to specific polyethylene catalyst, process and reactor requirements. HYPORE products are manufactured at this company’s new greenfield manufacturing site. The facility is supported by dedicated process development, analytical, and quality control capabilities and is designed to provide consistent control of critical product properties, low batch-to-batch variability, and reliable commercial-scale supply. — Gulbrandsen, Orangeburg, S.C.
