PolyVolve™ - The Next EVOLUTION in Polyester Technology
Join us at the forefront of innovation, driven by a partnership between Koch Technology Solutions, Chemtex Global Corporation & Polymetrix AG. Leveraging 50 years of expertise, we’ve enhanced our 3-vessel CP technology to deliver superior PET resin, fiber, and film. Using recycle feedstocks, our process begins with a thermo-syphon reactor, followed by state-of-the-art pre-polymerizer and finisher reactors.
We collaborate with customers to meet specific needs, offering spherical or cylindrical pellets and a variety of fiber grades. Our nitrogen-based SSP technology guarantees optimal aesthetics, clarity, and low VOCs for the most demanding applications.

Offerings
KTS provides advantaged technology solutions related to the manufacture of polyester from PTA + MEG and Recyclate (from post-industrial and post-consumer waste), that can be tailored to meet customer requirements. Our latest evolution in Polyester Technology, PolyVolveTM, offers superior capital efficiency, OPEX, product quality and environmental performance to the polyester industry. Our knowledgeable team, with deep knowledge of chemistry, product formulations through to plant operation and optimisation, can help manufacturers maximise the profitability of their polyester asset.
KTS has patented process technologies and know-how for the depolymerisation of post- industrial and post-consumer waste rich in PET, and integration into our continuous polymerisation units. This ensures optimum plant capacity and product quality with a recycled feedstock and circumvents the processing problems inherent in the use of rPET.
KTS can also offer a tailored integrated PTA-PET solution for customers intending to build co-located PTA & PET assets. Our position as a single-source supplier of PTA and PET know-how brings unique benefits to such a project:
- Single license and performance guarantees across both technologies.
- Seamless interface between technologies.
- Training, commissioning and plant start-up support.
- Post plant-acceptance technical support for optimisation and operations management.
- PTA and PET experienced knowledge pool located in a single organisation that can be utilised to respond to operational/process queries.
