Sadara begins operations at Jubail polyols plant

Sadara Basic Services Co., which is indirectly owned by Sadara Chemical Co. (Sadara), on Thursday started commercial operations at its polyols plant in Jubail Industrial City II.

The plant includes two polyol trains which use propylene oxide and ethylene oxide to produce multiple grades of polyether polyols, the company said in a bourse statement.

The products are used in a broad range of industrial applications, including a bariety of moldings.

Financial impact of the polyols plant is expected to materialize in the third quarter of 2017, the statement added.

Sadara is 65 percent owned by Saudi Aramco and 35 percent by American- Dow Chemicals, according to data compiled by Argaam.

The complex is considered to be the world’s largest complex to be built on one stage.

The new plant is one of 26 manufacturing units of the Sadara complex located in Jubail Industrial City II.
