The facility is a major polypropylene (PP) resin production site, utilizing Spheripol technology licensed from Montell (now LyondellBasell), for manufacturing of a wide range of PP grades under the Masplene® brand, tailored to various industrial and consumer needs.
The plant's primary raw material, high-purity propylene gas, is sourced directly from the Pertamina Refinery Unit VI (RU-VI) in Balongan, Juntinyuat, ensuring a stable and reliable feedstock supply.
Plant capacity:
- Initial capacity (1995): 100,000 metric tons per year (MT/year).
- Expanded to 180,000 MT/year in 1996, 200,000 MT/year in 2004, 240,000 MT/year in 2008, and 260,000 MT/year in 2018.
- As of the end of 2019, the plant reached a maximum installed capacity of 300,000 MT/year.
