Global companies invest in Singapore's synthetic rubber market

As Singapore has the geographical and raw material supply advantages, some of the world’s chemical giants are accelerating investment in the local synthetic rubber market. Germany LANXESS company recently said that the company is planning to invest 200 million euros in Singapore Jurong Island to build a set of 140,000 tons / year of the world's largest polybutadiene rubber plant, planned for completion and put into operation in the first quarter of 2015. The plant will be adjacent to the 100,000 tons/year butyl rubber plant currently under construction at LANXESS, which is expected to be completed and put into operation in the first quarter of 2013. Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. has decided to build a new 40,000-ton/year S-SBR plant on Jurong Island in Singapore, which is expected to be put into production in the fourth quarter of 2013. Another chemical company in Japan, Asahi Kasei Chemicals (AKC), announced that it will build a new S-SBR unit on Jurong Island, Singapore. The initial designed capacity of the device is 50,000 tons/year and is expected to start production in June 2013. In the second phase, the company plans to expand the facility to 100,000 tons/year by the first half of 2015.

HDPE Geocell

Geocell is made of a new type of high-strength geosynthetics, which is popular with both domestic and abroad, which welding the strengthened HDPE sheets by the high-power ultrasonic and forming to be a structure of three-dimensional reticular formation. Easily folding and convenient for transportation. When be in construction, the geocell can be pull into a network and launched into a three-dimensional honeycomb grid. As it filled in soil, macadam, concrete or other granular materials, constituted to be a construction, which has strong sidewise restraint and high rate of stiffness.


1. It reinforce old asphalt concrete road surface and asphalt layer, and prevents damage ;

2. It is used for rebuilding cement concrete road surface into composite road surface and restraining reflection caused by block contraction .

3. It is used in road expansion and improvment project and crack caused by old and new combination position and uneven sedimentation ;

4. It is used in soft soil base reinforcement treatment , is favorable for soft soil water separation and concretion,restrains sedimentation effectivly,distributes stress uniformly and improve overall strength of road base;

5. It is sued for preventing contraction crack caused by new road semi-rigid base layer,and reinforces and prevents road surface crack caused by foundation crack reflection.
