On January 16, the 300 kt/a EVA unit (tubular reactor process) and the 100 kt/a H-EVA unit (kettle-type process) of PetroChina Guangxi Petrochemical Company officially commenced construction.
The 300 kt/a tubular reactor unit focuses on large scale production of photovoltaic-grade EVA and is planned to achieve mechanical completion by the end of December 2027. The 100 kt/a kettle-type unit is dedicated to high-end specialty H-EVA products and is scheduled for mechanical completion by the end of February 2028. The selected technology routes are precisely tailored to meet the demands of the high end market.
It is reported that the products from the two units will cover applications such as photovoltaic films, premium cables, foamed products, and medical devices.
