Olefins, Glycols & Derivatives

Ethylene is one of the most important petrochemical intermediates and is a feedstock for various products. It is a colourless, flammable gas with a faint "sweet and musky" odour when pure. It is the simplest alkene and is widely used in the chemical industry.

 

FEEDSTOCK
Ethane, Propane

 

APPLICATION
Ethylene is the raw material used in the manufacture of Polyethylene (PE), Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG), Ethylene Dichloride (EDC), Ethylbenzene and Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM). These products are used in a wide variety of industrial and consumer markets such as:
• Packaging
• Transportation
• Electrical/Electronic
• Textile
• Construction Industries
• Consumer Chemicals
• Coatings
• Adhesives

Propylene, also called propene is an olefin with the chemical formula C3H6. A colourless gas, it is obtained from the thermal cracking of hydrocarbons ranging from natural gas liquids (ethane, propane and butane) to petroleum liquids (naphtha and gas oils).

Butyl Glycol Ethers are clear, colourless liquids with a syrupy consistency, absorbs moisture, dissolves in water, ethanol, acetone and slightly in ether. The main use for glycol ethers is as solvents for formulations such as paints, inks, and cleaning fluid applications. Glycol ethers, with both an ether and alcohol functional group in the same molecule, are one of the most versatile classes of organic solvents. PCG produces Ethonas EB, Ethonas DB and B260
