Methanol (C1 Value Chain)
IVICT Europe specializes in the distribution of Methanol, the simplest alcohol compound used as an additive for various industrial purposes. Methanol is a colourless, flammable, and toxic liquid chemical with a distinctive smell. The production of Methanol begins with natural gas, which is converted through reforming or oxidation and gasification into synthesis gas.
This synthesis gas is then subjected to the Methanol Synthesizing Reaction, followed by purification to achieve the desired commercial quality. At IVICT Europe, we ensure that our Methanol adheres strictly to the IMPCA Standard Specification. This guarantees that our customers receive Methanol of the highest quality and consistency for their specific applications.
If you require Methanol for your industrial needs, trust IVICT Europe to provide you with a reliable supply of this essential compound. Our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional products and meeting your specific requirements. Contact us today for more information or to place an order.
Applications
You can find Methanol in a huge range of products that touch our daily life. Main applications are primarily as solvent and in the manufacturing of further downstream products:
“Formaldehyde” for mainly glue and board production,
“Acetic Acid” for solvents of Ink & Paints,
“Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE)” as Gasoline’s Octane booster,
“Biodiesel” supporting renewable energy,
“Olefin” produced from Methanol (conventionally produced by Naphtha cracking), and
Energy storage for “Fuel-Cell”.
Production
Our parent company, Mitsubishi Corporation, has shares in two Joint Venture companies producing Methanol in the Caribbean Sea. The first joint venture namedMethanol de Oriente, (METOR) S.A.in Jose, Venezuela started its Methanol production in 1994 and expanded in 2010 to its total capacity of 1.6 million MT per year.
The second Joint Venture namedCaribbean Gas Chemical Limited (CGCL)in La Brea, Trinidad and Tobago, started its Methanol production in 2020 with a capacity of 1.0 million MT per year.
Distribution in Europe
IVICT Europe is one of the major Methanol players with a wide network in the Methanol trading world in Europe. We are handling one millon MT per year via five locations spreading from North West Europe ports, such as Antwerp-Rotterdam-Area to Southern Europe in Mediterranean and Black Sea ports.
Our sources are joint venture productions as well as third party products, which provides a stable, constant and reliable supply to our customers. We perform our distribution by Oceangoing Vessels, Barges, Rail Cars and Trucks. Special requirements like deliveries in IBCs can be provided as well.

POLYETHYLENE
C4 LLDPE
There are several variations oflinear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), originating from Octene C8, Hexene C6 or Butene C4, all having a variety of densities: from high (up to 0.941 g/cm3) to very low (0.905 g/cm3).
LLDPE is used forfilm extrusion,blown film, roto moulding andinjection moulding. Applications include not only packaging for food and frozen goods, hygiene packaging, industrial films for agriculture and technical packaging but also cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications.
In addition to conventional LLDPE, we also supplycutting-edgeC6 metallocene LLDPE. It is the combination of a unique metallocene-catalyst and gas-phase technology, which enables us to offer you a very specialized form of ethylene-high-α-olefin (1-Hexene)-copolymer LLDPE.
This material combinessuperior strengthwith clarityandexcellent heat-sealing properties. Our customers appreciate its excellence in physical properties and processability. This is why it is widely used in numerouspackagingapplications and adds great value to our daily life.
Applicationsand properties often associated with our C6 mLLDPE:
Polypropylene (PP)is a thermoplastic made from propylene monomers. You can find it in many applications of consumer packaging, but also in technical industries like automotive, construction, white goods or furniture. Suitable for extrusion blow moulding, Injection moulding and general-purpose extrusion.
PP is distinguished between homopolymers and copolymers, which are further divided into block copolymers and random copolymers.Homopolymerpolypropylene is a general-purpose grade.Block copolymerhas co-monomer units arranged in blocks and contains between 5% to 15% ethylene, which improves properties like impact resistance.Random copolymerhas co-monomer units arranged irregularly/in random patterns along the molecule and contain 1% to 7% ethylene. Suitable for applications which require more elasticity and transparency.
BIOMATERIAL
We offer a high-quality mineral-based biopolymer made from a unique combination of renewable ingredients, which is approved by TÜV Rheinland and complies with the European standardEN 13432. This high-quality biopolymer is a renewable GMO-free raw material. It isbiodegradable, and compostableand contributes to the reduction of microplastics on land and in the ocean.
Compared to conventional plastics and paper, it has significantlylower CO²-emissionswhen incinerated. Whilst other existing biomaterials exhibit one or more of these qualities, none of them combines all, making this high-quality biopolymer the most versatile biomaterial available: renewable, biodegradable, compostable, recyclable and convertible to bioenergy.
This biodegradable material is a very good candidateforreplacement of conventional plasticscurrently on the market, including PP,PE,PETandPS. It can be used in existing machinery and allows more energy-efficient production due to lower temperature needs.
We offer this product for awide range of applications, including film blowing, injection moulding, thermoforming, bottle blowing and sheet extrusion.
MXD6is a crystalline polyamide based on m-xylenediamine (MXDA) and polycondensated with adipic acid. It is an unique polyamide which cannot be compared with conventional PA6 and PA66 due to the aliphatic polyamide containing an aromatic ring in its principal chain.
Thanks to MXD6 and itsexcellent gas-barrierproperties against oxygen and carbon dioxide, we benefit from long shelf lives and good food quality. An essential effect is thatthinner packaging structureswill be achieved, and food stays protected by smart functional packaging and keeps longer fresh which reduces the amount of food waste.
MXD6 works well inmultilayer and monolayer structureswith polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and other polyamides (PA). In combination with polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) multilayer is required for co-injection moulding and co-extrusion.
Applications are:
PET Preforms and Bottles
PET Sheets
BOPP/BOPA Films
Cast-Films
Automotive parts
Polycarbonate
We offerPolycarbonate (PC)with excellent properties like superior impact strength and good chemical resistance. PC has a glass-like transparency, high toughness with good heat resistance and high dimensional accuracy and stability. Potential applications are:
Injection moulding
Extrusion and blow moulding of water bottles
Security windows
Skylights
Automotive lamps
Light parts
POLYOXYMETHYLENE
We offerPolyoxymethylene (POM) with excellent properties, such as high crystallinity, as well as superior abrasion, creep behaviour, fatigue and chemical resistance. Due to itsmechanical strengthsand excellentlow frictionand dimensionstability, POM is used for technical parts in various product areas:
