IRPC and its subsidiaries are currently the first fully integrated petrochemical complex in Southeast Asia. IRPC’s plants are located in an industrial area in Rayong Province with facilities to support the businesses such as deep sea port, tank farm and power plant.
ABS Powder is suited for manufacturers who require better polymer dispersion. It can be used alongside PVC, PC, and PC/ABS to augment their impact- and thermal-resistance.
Chlorine Resistance Pipes are made from polymers that can withstand the corrosiveness of chlorine. These pipes are ideal as high-pressure drinking water conduits and have a longer lifespan than regular pipes, which lowers maintenance costs and ensures that drinking water would be free of contaminants resulting from corrosion.
Green ABS is an innovative polymer conceived from IRPC’s corporate social and environmental responsibility awareness. The Company is the world’s first and only producer of green ABS, which is derived from natural rubber. Currently, 10-40% of synthetic rubber is replaced with natural rubber in the production of ABS, contributing to the increase in domestic rubber prices.
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
IRPC’s HDPE is a high-density polyethylene product with in-line compounding. It is suitable for pipe extrusion, especially water supply pipes, electrical conduits, and drainage pipes. Moreover, IRPC has developed a special grade of HDPE for the production of solar farm pontoons, which require exceptional weather resistance.
Olefin products-namely ethylene, propylene, and butadiene are feedstocks for the production of various polymers, namely polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). IRPC produces 433 KTA of ethylene, 732 KTA of propylene, and 56 KTA of butadiene. Most of these olefins serve as feedstocks for the various manufacturing plants in the IRPC Group.
Furthermore, the olefins plant yields acetylene black as a by-product. This powder-like pure black substance has high electrical conductivity and is thus commonly used in the production of standard batteries and even lithium-ion batteries for electronics and electric vehicles. It is also an electrically conductive additive for polymers and rubber products. IRPC currently produces 4 KTA of acetylene black.
Fuel oil: A fraction of crude oil with a high boiling point, fuel oil is widely used in the industrial sector, transportation, and power generation.
Diesel: Diesel is a fuel for high-speed diesel engines used in the industrial sector and vehicles, such as cars, trucks, fishing trawlers, passenger boats, and tractors. IRPC offers blends of 5-7% biodiesel as per government policy to promote the use of alternative energy and palm oil. Furthermore, as per government policy, B10 is the standard diesel in Thailand, while B7 and B20 are alternatives. IRPC began selling B20 by mid-2018; and B10 at the end of 2019
Gasoline: A fuel for petrol engines, gasoline is classified by its octane rating, which indicates its resistance to “knocking” or “pinging” during combustion. Under state regulations, IRPC’s gasoline is divided into ULG91 lead-free gasoline, GSH95 and GSH91 gasohol, and gasohol base, the last of which is used to manufacture gasohol and E20.
