24 November 2006 By MEED Editorial

The US' Chemtura Corporation and the local Al-Zamil Group have announced plans to jointly develop a new worldscale metal alkyls plant in Jubail. The two companies will form a joint venture to develop the plant to produce aluminium alkyl, which is used as a catalyst for the production of various olefins.

Under the terms of the agreement, the joint venture will license Chemtura's proprietary alkyls technology for the facility. It will also serve as the sales and marketing arm for Chemtura's regional aluminium alkyls business. Outside the region, sales and marketing will be managed by Chemtura itself.

Aluminium alkyl and, morespecifically, triethylaluminum, is used as a catalyst in the production of polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene(MEED 28:1:00).
