Saudi International Petrochemical Company (Sipchem) has commenced commercial operation of cable insulation polymers plant owned by Gulf Advanced Cables Insulation Company (GACI), a Sipchem affiliate, located in its complex in Jubail Industrial City on June 1, 2015.
 
The plant produces several types of cable insulation polymers which are used for fabricating electrical cable insulation materials. These polymers, which will be marketed by Gulf Advanced Cables Insulation Company, are used to manufacture electric cable insulators. Such specialised products are considered part of Sipchem’s strategy to execute comprehensive transformation projects in addition to the existing products of the company. It is worth mentioning that raw material required for the project is low density polyethylene (LDPE) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) that will be provided by the International Polymers Company (IPC) - a Sipchem affiliate. This plant will meet the local and global demand of electric cable insulators.
 
Ahmad Al-Ohali, CEO, Sipchem, said that the production of cable insulation polymers is one of the downstream industries that uses feedstock produced by Sipchem. Such integration boosts and enhances the company position to meet the growing demands in local and global markets.
