PT. Tri Polyta Indonesia Tbk

PT. Tri Polyta Indonesia Tbk ("the Company") is the largest Indonesian manufacturer of polypropylene resins. The polypropylene resins produced included homopolymer, random copolymer and impact copolymer. Homopolymer products are mainly used to manufacture a wide range of consumer products such as food packaging, plastic housewares, woven sacks, carpet backing, and other applications. Meanwhile, random copolymer and impact copolymer are mainly used to manufacture automotive parts, electronics appliances, plastic bottles and other applications. The Company market its products under the trade name of Trilene® primarily in the domestic market.
The Company was establish in 1988 and started its commercial operation in 1992 with two production trains with a combined annual capacity of 160,000 metric tons. At the end of 1993, the Company completed a debottlenecking project which increased the annual production capacity to 215,000 metric tons. The third production train was completed in 1995. The three trains have a combined annual capacity to produce between 360,000 to 380,000 metric tons of polypropylene, depending on the production mix.

The plant which is located in the petrochemical complex in Cilegon, Banten, utilizes UNIPOL® gas-phase technology, which is a low pressure gas-phase reaction process based technology developed by Union Carbide Corporation and Shell Chemical Company. The UNIPOL® technology does not produce liquid waste discharge while majority of the solid wastes are recovered and recycled.

The Company also owns a jetty located at its plant site that can accommodate one ship of 80,000 deadweight tons.

The Company received its ISO 9002 certification in 1996, ISO 14001 certification in 2000 and subsequently ISO 9001 certification in 2002.

As an implementation its environmental concern in conducting business, the Company received an award from Ministry of Environment in the form of Certification of Environmental Friendly Companies under category Green for PROPER Program 2004-2005. Meanwhile, in the field of Safety and Health, the Company received the Zero Accident Award from the Government through the Department of Manpower and Transmigration, which was also received in 2005. This award was given to companies who manage to exceed the minimum required working hours or a minimum of three consecutive years without accident. The Company has exceeded 4,118,549 hours for the period from November 20, 2002 through October 31, 2006 with zero accident.

Product :

Homopolymer

Consisting only of propylene molecules. Have high tensile strength, stiffness, heat resistance, and hardness properties. These "homopolymer" suitable for broad range applications such as Films, Injection Molding, Sheet thermoforming, Yarn, and Fiber Multifilament. Consisting only of propylene molecules.

Random Copolymer

To benefit from some of the useful properties of ethylene, about 1 - 7% by weight of ethylene monomer is added into the propylene monomer simultaneously in the reactor. The inclusion of the ethylene molecule reduces the polypropylene's crystalinity producing improved transparency and better strength compared with homopolymers.

Impact Copolymer

With the insertion of an ethylene/propylene rubber phase coating at the surface of the semi crystalline homopolymer matrix, the impact copolymer offers improved impact strength compared to the homopolymer or the random copolymer injection grade, at the cost of stiffness.
