Expanded OPP Manufacturing
At ExxonMobil‚ Shawnee Plant
● Macedon, NY-based ExxonMobil Chemical
has expanded its Shawnee, OK,
oriented propylene film manufacturing
plant (OPP). The installation of a
specialty 6.6-meter orienter line gives
ExxonMobil an additional 30 million
pounds of annual capacity and helps
meet growing demand for white
opaque films for labels due to their
bright white appearance and excellent
print performance for flexographic
and rotogravure printing. Executives
said the 6.6-meter orienter will reach
full manufacturing capacity early in
the third quarter of 2003. More info:
