INEOS has licensed its expandable polystyrene (EPS) technology to EPS Qatar for its planned complex in Qatar.
The plant, which will produce a wide range of expandable polystyrene grades to satisfy the growing regional demand, will be the biggest EPS unit in the Middle East and North Africa region.
EPS is a lightweight, strong thermoplastic product with excellent thermal insulation, which makes it ideal for the packaging and construction industries.
Initially the plant will be able to produce 50,000 tons per year but will have the capacity to double production.
