Formosa Plastics Point Comfort PP Complex
Formosa Plastics USA's Point Comfort TX complex (Calhoun County; on Matagorda Bay, Gulf Coast; ~2,000 employees) includes a world-scale PP plant (~1.0 million tonnes/year capacity) producing commodity and specialty PP grades. The facility's PP unit can be configured to produce high-MFR grades for meltblown nonwoven applications. Point Comfort is one of only three US sites (alongside ExxonMobil Baytown and LyondellBasell Channelview) with significant meltblown PP capacity. The site was severely damaged by Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 — Formosa's PP output was curtailed for months, providing a preview of Gulf Coast supply vulnerability. In August 2020, the site faced a chemical release citation from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Source: Formosa Plastics Corporation USA site profile; TCEQ environmental records.
