Overview

Below's a brief overview of the various chemicals products produced and their applications.

Applications of Styrene Monomer:

• Used in the production of polystyrene and polymers
• Used in high impact polystyrene --> CD cases, drinks cups, food containers and refrigerator door liners
• Used in expandable polystyrene --> lightweight foam, used in home insulation, packaging material, padding inside motorcycle crash helmets or car interiors, bridge construction or building film-set scenery

Applications of Propylene Oxide:

• Used in production of polyether polyols (Polyurethanes)
• Used in production of propylene glycols (Polyurethanes)
• Used in flame retardants
• Used in modified carbohydrates (starches)
• Used in synthetic lubricants
• Used in oil field drilling chemicals
• Used in textile surfactants

Applications of Polyether Polyols:

• Used in polyurethane foams for applications in the automotive
• Used in furnishing and building industries
• Used in urethane applications --> rigid foam, flexible foam, coatings, adhesives, sealants
• Used in non-urethane applications --> surfactants and oil demulsifiers

Applications of Propylene Glycols:

• Used in production of unsaturated polyester resins --> used to make everyday items such as bath tubs, small boats and water/chemical tanks and pipes
• Used in cosmetics
• Used in paints and coatings
• Used in airplane de-icers/anti-icers
• Used in hydraulic fluids
• Used in antifreeze and industrial coolants
