Total Petrochemicals and the Shaw Group have announced to create an exclusive Alliance for the marketing and licensing of the Total Polystyrene (PS) technology Worldwide.
Total Petrochemicals’ polystyrene technology produces both general purpose polystyrene, a rigid and transparent material used in applications such as insulation and packaging (transparent containers and boxes), and high impact polystyrene, a tough colored plastic used, for example, in dairy packaging, electronics and refrigeration applications.
In this long term Agreement, Shaw will assist existing licenses to use Total’s technology and prospect new clients in the World for new PS facilities.
Shaw has had a similar alliance with Total Petrochemicals for styrene monomer, the primary feedstock for polystyrene, for 15 years, so Shaw will add its experience in basic engineering and engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) to provide support at each phase of these new projects or refurbishment operations.
