Texas/USA – Exxonmobil has recently announced the successful startup of its new polypropylene production unit at the Polyolefins Plant in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. The unit increases polypropylene production capacity along the Gulf Coast by 450,000 metric tons per year, meeting growing demand for high-performance, lightweight and durable plastics, particularly for automotive parts that can improve fuel efficiency and reduce vehicle emissions.
