Overview of PTC’s functions

Product Development & Improvement (R&D)

Since its establishment, PTC has developed a total of more than 70 new product grades. The following sets out some characteristics of the new product properties and applications developed at the PTC.

 

  • Polyethylene new products: HDPE blow molding grade with excellent processability for small household and industrial chemical container bottles, bimodal HDPE natural coloured resins for water, municipal and industrial pipes.

  • Polypropylene new products: High flow anti-gas fading homopolymer for multifilament spunbond, natural coloured random copolymer resins with excellent impact strength and stiffness for hot and cold water supply pipes and fittings, high clarity random copolymer for thin-walled containers.


Analysis Support Service

LOTTE CHEMICAL TITAN’s Plastic Technical Centre (PTC) has a professional full-fledged Laboratory Service team that provides reliable laboratory analysis and fabrication process studies to support the product development and improvement as well as to provide technical support for our customers. PTC conducts quantitative and qualitative analysis on the material composites, analysis on the molecular structures of polymers/additives as well as the physical properties. The state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and fabrication machine facilities available at PTC have assisted customers to grow and expand their businesses through product quality improvement and diversification as well as conducting hands-on training for customers. Testing capabilities at PTC are maintained at a top level with our high technology equipment and the capabilities of the analysis & fabrication as well as products testing and evaluation increased manifold with the support from LC R&D Centre.
