Ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin & polyolefin elastomer technology forum 2026 is to be held on Mar 25th in Suzhou. The conference is sponsored by ASIACHEM, focusing on the topics of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UPE), ultra-high molecular weight polypropylene (UPP), polyethylene elastomer (POE, E-POE, H-POE) and polypropylene elastomer (PBE) processes, new projects and market opportunities etc.
On Jan 26th, CHN Energy Group Ningxia Coal Industry Co Ltd coal-base polyolefin elastomer process verifying & improving pilot project environment impact evaluation publicity was initiated.
The project is to newly build a POE pilot building & unit, including raw material refining, polymerizing reaction, flash devolatilizing, and separating recovery equipment; in addition to cabinet room, power distribution, and other utility/auxiliary facilities. By completion of the project, it should output 1000t/a POE product.
On Jan 15th, Ningxia Coal Industry coal-base polyolefin elastomer pilot project was approved for registration 。
On Nov 27th 2025, Ningxia Coal Industry Olefins #1 Branch coal-base polyolefin elastomer pilot project basic engineering preparation single source purchase bidding result was published. The awarded supplier was SINOPEC Ningbo Engineering Co Ltd.
