Hyundai Chemical Company, Ltd. has chosen Univation Technologies’ UNIPOL™ PE Technology for a 300 kTA high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plant to be located at Hyundai’s site in Daesan, Republic of Korea.

“We are delighted that Hyundai Chemical selected Univation’s UNIPOL™ PE Technology for their new plant in the Republic of Korea,” said Dr. Steven Stanley, President of Univation Technologies. “This new UNIPOL™ PE Reactor will provide Hyundai with a robust portfolio of competitive and well-recognized HDPE products covering a breadth of applications highly suitable for key growth opportunities in domestic and export markets.”
