CONSISTA® Catalyst Systems for Gas Phase PP Process

▪Grace is the only licensor to offer proprietary catalyst and donors

▪Non-phthalate based chemistry

▪Advantaged product properties across all product types

▪Outstanding productivity

▪Outstanding operating reliability

▪Superior product breadth

▪Drop-in technology, No process modifications necessary – same operating discipline

▪ New and existing users can continue to access current technology

6th generation Z-N catalyst offers superior

process and product performance


CONSISTA® Catalysts – Non-Phthalate Based Chemistry

Solution:

CONSISTA® Catalysts are based on non-phthalate chemistry, bringing

benefits to the value chain without compromising product application range.

✓ To the PP producer: peace of mind because of less regulatory

complexity and fewer future regulations.

✓ To the consumer: the PP-based products they purchase do not contain

phthalates.

Issue:

• Use of phthalates and phthalate-

containing plastics in the European

Union may be restricted.

• Use of phthalates continues to be

scrutinized for certain applications.


Demonstrated Product Advantages:

Grace 6th Generation Catalyst Enhancing Recyclability

• Less volatiles

• Lower extractable

• Improved

taste/odor

• Less metal residue

• Non-phthalate

chemistry

Lighter Faster

Cleaner Clearer

▪ Improved HPP stiffness

▪ Less polymer per article

▪ Packaging efficiency

▪ For higher melt flows

▪ Increased fabrication speed

▪ Clearer, stiffer thermoformed package without

losing process ability

▪ Reduced haze
