Between 1967 and 1973, workers at Phillips refined the new polymerization process, defined physical properties, constructed and operated a pilot plant, established market demand for such a material and designed and constructed a full-scale commercial plant. In late 1972 the world s first polyphenylene sulfide plant came on stream in the Phillips Petroleum Company facility in Borger, Texas. The original plant had a nameplate capacity of 5 MM pounds per year. Subsequently, it has been enlarged and debottlenecked to its present capacity of 12 MM pounds per year. This material is sold under the tradename Ryton Polyphenylene Sulfide.
