Today, Ethylene is one of the most important raw materials for petrochemical products. Its production is around 167 million MT annually and around 4.4 million MT is being traded.
We have our export terminal in the United States, which is the main export terminal of Ethylene from the US Gulf Coast to European ports to date. In 1992, we started Ethylene export from this terminal. In 2019, we exported more than 300,000 MT of Ethylene, equally to Asia and Europe.
Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is one of the two main building blocks of polyester and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). Its production is around 30 million MT annually and a large part is traded by our parent company Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) while we assist their sales to Europe.
It is our mission to ensure that the competitive production of MEG from Natural Gas is made available to European consumers. We are also offering Diethylene Glycol (DEG) to the market from our Tanks in Ravenna and by direct vessel supply.
Acrylonitrile (AN) is the main raw material of acrylic fibres, an important raw material for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) resin and Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) and other chemicals. We have two supply sources and sell around 35,000 MT annually to speciality customers in Europe.
Our supply points are located strategically close to the consumers of material and we supply with high flexibility and commitment. This way, IVICT Europe can differentiate positively from large-volume traders.
Methacrylonitrile (MAN) is a versatile product with various applications including microcapsules, paint and coatings, packaging, film, latex, and construction. MAN is known for its exceptional co-polymerization capabilities with Acrylonitrile (AN), Butadiene, Styrene, Acrylic, and Methacrylic Acid and Esters. This results in excellent thermal plasticity, weather and chemical resistance, high gas barrier characteristics, physical strength, and resistance to yellowing.
With a CAS number of 126-98-7 and an EC number of 204-817-5, MAN is a highly reactive monomer that replaces the α-hydrogen of acrylonitrile (AN) with a methyl group. It features an active vinyl group and a nitrile group and is a clear, colourless liquid with a higher boiling point and lower water solubility compared to Acrylonitrile (AN). Sourced from Japan, and stocked in Europe, our MAN meets not only stringent quality standards but also enables us to provide just-in-time delivery to our customers.
Whether you require samples, technical information, SDS, or any other support, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you in utilizing the benefits of MAN for your specific applications.
