PE Technology Overview

When Chevron Phillips Chemical’s breakthrough loop slurry process was formally introduced in 1961, it immediately revolutionized the production of high-density polyethylene.

These technologies yield high-quality resins that secure exceptional margins, provide low operating costs, and are backed by a multi-million dollar research and development program. As a result, Chevron Phillips Chemical's proprietary technology is licensed in 18 countries by more than 80 facilities, making Chevron Phillips Chemical’s loop slurry technology the premier choice around the globe for polyethylene polymerization. Together, Chevron Phillips Chemical and its licensees produce over eight million metric tons of polyethylene per year.
