OQ Chemicals has entered into an agreement to licence technology for the production of ethylene and propylene derivatives to Duqm.
The recent uptick in industrial/ business activities and gradual re-opening of economies are set to strengthen the demand for polymers.
The new facility will be primarily responsible for producing the CATOFIN catalyst for propane dehydrogenation, which is used in the production of olefins such as propylene.
