Chemical Division I

The production of polyethers for polyurethanes is obtained within an integrated, innovative system which is very well designed, the only one of this kind in Central Europe. Integration consists in the initiation of the production from propylene, moving to propene oxide, and then to propylene glycol and polyole polyethers. Oltchim has undertaken great efforts in order to increase the added value of the products in this category, achieving numerous innovations throughout the years.
