Norner signs first NTT licence
Norwegian industrial polymer service provider Norner has signed the first licence agreement for its Norner Trimodal Technology (NTT), which it describes as a breakthrough in the
production of PE polymers. The company has not disclosed the identity of the licensee, but said the value of the licence was “multi- millions of dollars”. NTT is based on a system
of three polymerisation reactors where a small fraction of a third high molecular weight polymer is introduced in a third reactor containing comonomer. It is said to cost-effectively upgrade existing bimodal plants. The company said the technology enables a higher comonomer content in the highest molecular weights, which boosts the perfor- mance of the materials in terms of improved pressure and stress crack resistance, impact resistance and processability. Applications are foreseen
NTT was developed in Norner’s polymerisation lab in Norway 8 COMPOUNDING WORLD | October 2017
