SABIC’s PMMA plant to begin commercial ops in March

07/02/2018 Argaam

 

SAMAC poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) plant, which is a joint venture between Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC) and Mitsubishi Rayon Co. Ltd, will launch commercial operations in March, Mitsubishi Rayon said in a statement.

 

This follows the completion of mechanical works at the plant and the start of the trial run.

 

In 2014, SABIC’s Saudi Methacrylates Company (SAMAC) entered into a strategic partnership with Mitsubishi Rayon, worth SAR 1.35 billion, to build and operate two manufacturing plants in Jubail Industrial City.

 

The first plant will produce methyl methacrylate monomer (MMA) with a 250,000-metric-ton annual capacity. The other plant will produce poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) with an annual capacity of 40,000 metric tons.
