Business Wire
Westlake Corporation (NYSE: WLK), a global manufacturer and
supplier of materials and innovative products, will showcase its
solutions that enhance your life every day at NPE 2024 in OCCC West
Hall Booth 203 ABC, to be held from May 6-10 in Orlando,
Florida.
“We are excited to participate in NPE 2024 to present our
products and sustainable solutions,” said Amy Moore, Vice
President, Westlake Polyethylene. “Westlake strives to deliver
high-value, essential products for our customers across several
sectors — including healthcare, automotive, agriculture and water
systems, food packaging, and housing materials. We endeavor to
produce and deliver these goods in increasingly sustainable
ways.”
Under the theme of “Enhancing Your Life Every Day,” three of
Westlake’s businesses will showcase their products: Westlake Global
Compounds, Westlake Polyethylene and Westlake North American
Vinyls.
“As a global leader that produces and manufactures essential
materials, we understand the critical role of plastics in our every
day life,” said Erik Keracik, Vice President, Westlake North
American Vinyls. “Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is the world’s third
most widely used plastic and serves as an attractive alternative to
traditional materials such as glass, metal, wood and other plastic
materials because of its versatility, durability and cost
competitiveness.”
“Westlake has a passion for working to meet customer needs
through superior and new technology, product quality and operating
excellence. We seek solutions that change lives and minimize
environmental impact,” said Renee Havrilla, Vice President,
Westlake Global Compounds. “We are excited to officially launch at
NPE the Pivotal™ portfolio to now include PVC compounds.”
Westlake will highlight some of its diverse range of sustainable
products at NPE including:
High-Performance Molecular-Oriented PVC (PVCO) Pipe
In 2022, Westlake expanded production of PVCO, a
molecular-oriented PVC pipe material with enhanced water flow and a
lower carbon footprint compared to traditional Westlake PVC pipe.
During the manufacturing process, the PVC molecules are stretched
and reorganized to increase material strength, making the pipe more
flexible and lighter weight. Less material per unit length provides
secondary benefits for shipping the product. By reducing the weight
of the haulage, vehicles can use less fuel, thereby reducing carbon
emissions. PVCO is available in North America.
Pivotal™ Product Line
Pivotal™ Polyethylene is specifically formulated to
preserve film performance while incorporating Post-Consumer
Recycled (PCR) content. Our product portfolio is designed to
balance process stability and film performance while incorporating
PCR into a variety of flexible film applications.
Pivotal™ PVC Compounds is specifically formulated with
Post-Industrial Recyclate (PIR) content. It is a rigid,
non-phthalate compound formulated for a variety of custom injection
molding applications. It is developed to consistently perform like
virgin resin with minimal lot-to-lot variability; designed to
achieve high flammability resistance and RTI properties; and,
specially formulated to process well during injection molding,
including multi-cavity tools.
GreenVin™ Bio-attributed PVC
GreenVin™ bio-attributed PVC is produced with renewable energy
(under European Guarantees of Origin) and renewable ethylene. The
renewable ethylene is derived from bio-naphtha. GreenVin
bio-attributed PVC is both ISCC PLUS and REDcert2 certified, using
the mass balance approach. Bio-attributed GreenVin PVC is
approximately 90%* less carbon intensive compared to conventionally
produced Westlake PVC. Westlake also produces lower carbon GreenVin
PVC and GreenVin caustic soda produced with certified 100%
renewable energy under European Guarantees of Origin. GreenVin PVC
is already being used in various PVC application areas, such as the
automotive, window manufacturing, and pharmaceutical packaging
sectors. GreenVin caustic soda is approximately 30% less carbon
intensive compared to conventionally produced Westlake caustic
soda. Caustic soda is used to produce detergents, cardboard,
pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and many other key products.
*Based on a cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint study by
Sustainable AG, tested by TÜV Rheinland, in accordance with the ISO
14067 standard, taking biogenic CO2 fixations into account.
