Al-Noukhaza Al-Khaleej to Establish Butadiene Rubber Plant in Saudi Arabia

2023/6/1

Al-Noukhaza Al-Khaleej announces plans to build a world-class rubber plant in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, with a projected annual production capacity of 140,000 tons. The facility will primarily manufacture ultra-high cis content neodymium-based butadiene rubber and lithium-based butadiene rubber.

Reportedly, the plant is part of the final investment decision by Saudi Aramco and DowDuPont in Saudi Arabia's world-class petrochemical facilities. Engineering, procurement, and construction contracts for the project will be signed in the second half of this year, with construction scheduled to commence in 2024 and commercial operations expected to begin in 2027.

Neodymium-based butadiene rubber offers advantages such as improved fuel economy, traction, and increased tire durability, making it suitable for high-performance tires, particularly in the tread area. This aligns with Al-Noukhaza Al-Khaleej's sustainable development plan. On the other hand, lithium-based butadiene rubber is primarily used for plastic modification to enhance product impact resistance, with applications including food packaging and household appliances.

Chen Dong, CEO of Al-Noukhaza Al-Khaleej, stated, "Expanding Al-Noukhaza Al-Khaleej's existing asset portfolio to Saudi Arabia is an important part of our growth strategy, and this project will contribute to enhancing our leadership position in the high-performance rubber sector. This marks an exciting new chapter for Al-Noukhaza Al-Khaleej and all its employees. We look forward to leveraging a world-class and highly competitive production base to consistently provide reliable rubber products to our customers."
