BASF says the recent increases in ethylene prices
and growing demand for linear alpha olefins in other markets have pushed
up the cost of linear oxo alcohols--raw materials for linear
plasticizers--faster than raw-material costs for competing plasticizers. Keywords: Polyethylene and at least one alpha olefin having at
least three carbon atoms and a coupling amount of poly(sulfonyl azide). The new plant will be the
sixth Alpha Olefin Plant that Linde AG will be erecting within
Sasol's Secunda complex, which is situated approximately 150 km
