INEOS licenses polystyrene technology in Qatar

INEOS Technologies has licensed its INEOS EPS process for the manufacture of regular and flame retardant expandable polystyrene to EPS Qatar at a new complex to be built in the Doha region of Qatar.

The 50,000 tpy INEOS EPS plant will produce a wide range of expandable polystyrene grades to cover all the applications from construction to packaging and serve the growing demand in the GCC region. 

The plant will feature expansion capabilities to reach 100,000 tpy in a second phase.

"INEOS Technologies is proud to have been selected by EPS Qatar as its technology partner for the launching of its expandable polystyrene business," said Peter Williams, CEO of INEOS Technologies. "The EPS Qatar plant will be the biggest EPS unit in the MENA region."
