- Company Profile:
A high volume chemical intermediate usually obtained by purifying the byproduct mixed C4 stream (butadiene, isobutylene, MTBE, 1-butene) produced by a stream cracker. It can also be made by dehydrogenation of butene or butane. Uses: ABS resin, SBC (styrene butadiene copolymer) resin, neoprene.
Industry:Energy
A process used for producing hollow plastic parts such as milk bottles or automobile fuel tanks, by extruding a parrison (tube-shaped form) into a hollow mold , and then inflating the form against the cool mold surface, where it freezes into shape.
Industry:Energy
One of the most important chemical building blocks. Derived from catalytic reforming of naphtha, toluene dealkylation or disproportionation, pygas recovery, and, to a small extent, coal tar. Benzene is a raw material for the production of cumene, cyclohexane and styrene. Chevron Phillips Chemical is one of the largest producer of benzene in North America and the world.
Industry:Energy
A Chevron Phillips Chemical proprietary process for production of benzene.
Industry:Energy
A highly reactive group of hydrocarbons with unsaturated rings of carbon atoms, enabling the production of a wide variety of products. As the name suggests, aromatics have a distinctive odor.
Industry:Energy
A range of highly linear terminal olefins formed by oligomerization of ethylene. Examples include 1-butene (C4=), 1-hexene (C6=), and 1-octene (C8=). A.k.a. NAO (Normal Alpha Olefins) or LAO (Linear Alpha Olefins). Alpha olefins are major petrochemical building blocks, which serve as polyethylene co-monomers and as reagents to form surfactants, plasticizers, and additives. NAO’s and NAO derivatives are used in a wide range of applications including: synthetic motor oils for jet engines and automobiles, synthetic lubricants, synthetic drilling fluids, additives for lube oil and the upstream oil industry, paper sizing, flavors, candles, PVC lubes, detergents, and a number of personal care items. Chevron Phillips Chemical is one of the largest producers in the world.
Industry:Energy
A petrochemical process in which an alkyl radical is introduced to another molecule. Chemicals produced using alkylation chemistry include cumene, dodecylbenzene, and ethylbenzene. In the oil industry, alkylation refers to a process for making a high-octane blending component for gasoline.
Industry:Energy
A substance, added to a base material, in low concentrations, to perform a specific function such as to preserve, thicken, disperse or color. Chevron Phillips Specialty Chemicals and PAO organizations sell a range of additives and additive feedstocks that are used in industries such as mining, drilling, fuels, food, and personal care
Industry:Energy
A monomer derived mainly from the reaction of propylene or acetylene with HCN. This is a key raw material used in the fiber, plastics, and rubber industries.
