TA’ZIZ announced major long-term product sale agreements with The Sanmar Group at ADIPEC, in the presence of key UAE and Indian officials. These agreements commit TA’ZIZ to supply Sanmar with above 350,000 tonnes annually of ethylene dichloride (EDC) and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) over periods of up to 10 years. The chemicals, critical feedstocks for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production, will be produced at the Chemicals Industrial Zone in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi. This marks the first UAE export of EDC and VCM, supporting Sanmar's PVC facilities in Port Said, Egypt and Cuddalore, India.

The Industrial Chemicals Zone is set to reach a capacity of 4.7 million tonnes per annum by 2028, with the PVC production complex manufacturing 1.9 million tonnes per annum of caustic soda, EDC, PVC, and VCM. Additional plants for ammonia and methanol are also planned.
