NOVA Chemicals is the licensor of its proprietary SCLAIRTECH™ technology and NOVACAT™ family of catalysts.

NOVA Chemicals SCLAIRTECH technology has been available for license for more than 20 years. Licensees are located around the world, and offer leading edge resin solutions in their markets. Currently, over 2.6 million tonnes of PE is produced utilizing this versatile technology.

The NOVACAT catalysts are a series of advanced, supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts designed specifically for the gas-phase platform. NOVACAT catalysts are capable of producing butene and hexene Linear-Low Density PE (LLDPE) copolymers with improved performance characteristics, superior hexene copolymers having high dart impact properties, and competitive HDPE resins.

NOVA Chemicals also developed an anti-coking furnace tube product, ANK400, which increases on-stream time for ethylene furnaces. This technology achieves an inner-wall surface chemistry with a demonstrated ability to significantly reduce catalytic coking. This technology has been licensed to Kubota Corporation. Kubota manufactures and globally markets the product to ethylene facilities for gas feedstock cracking applications.

NOVA Chemicals' Licensing Team offers complete business solutions for licensees. Our commitment to research and development ensures that the technologies are continually advanced to maintain their leading edge performance.
