appliances, electronic equipment housing, film for packaging and bottles.

Polyethylene (PE)
PE is the most widely used polyolefin in the world by volume. Titan Chemicals produces all three types of PE,
namely High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Linear Low Density
Polyethylene (LLDPE), in more than 70 grades in total. In 2002, Titan Chemicals became the first producer in
Asia (excluding Japan) to be licensed for the metallocene LLDPE (mLLDPE) technology and thus become the
first Asian manufacturer to produce such material outside of Japan. Currently, Titan Chemicals only produces
mLLDPE based on market demand.

Polypropylene (PP)
Titan Chemicals PP plants are configured to manufacture homopolymer PP, as well as random copolymer PP
and impact copolymer PP. Copolymerization improves PP's impact resistance and flexibility. Random copolymers
exhibit higher clarity, good impact resistance and more flexibility. Impact copolymers exhibit greater impact
strength at lower temperatures and higher melting points than random copolymers. Titan Chemicals produces 21
grades of Homopolymer PP and 20 grades of Random Copolymer and Impact Copolymer PP.
