So what is Nexlene, the rising star of KNC?
High performance polyethylene Nexlene developed using KNC’s own technology
Polyethylene uses ethylene produced by thermal cracking of naphtha as its raw material.
Nexlene, the next generation high performance polyethylene, was born by KNC’s intense research on (metallocene) catalysts that produce polymer products from raw materials such as ethylene and propylene.
KNC is the first company in Korea to have developed its own technology of catalyst, process and products and the Nexlene with its high performances will lead and expand KNC’s global market share.
History
High performance polyethylene Nexlene originally started using SK Geo Centric own technology and
continued its development through the new established JV, SABIC-SK Nexlene Company (SSNC), in 2015 onward.
