Petkim has selected UNIPOL PE technology for a planned complex in Aliaga near Izmir. Licensor Univation Technologies specifies combined capacity of 850,000 tonnes of polyethylene annually.
The project envisages two 425,000-tonne lines. Technology selection precedes Petkim’s final investment decision, making this a development milestone rather than the start of production.
The planned expansion would increase domestic polyethylene supply and reduce import dependence. It forms part of the development of SOCAR’s petrochemical business in Türkiye. The licensor’s announcement does not give a commissioning date.
