Butadiene (Buta-1,3-diene) is used as monomer to produce synthetic rubbers used for automobile tyres (Polybutadiene Rubber – PBR, Styrene Butadiene Rubber - SBR), gloves & gaskets (Acrylonitrile Butadiene – Nitrile Rubber), synthetic resins used for automobile parts, home appliances, etc (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene – ABS), paper coating & carpet backing (Styrene Butadiene – SB latex).

HPL has Butadiene capacity of 101 KTPA with technology from BASF, Germany from Crude C4 stream.

Butadiene is majorly exported to South East Asia & North East Asian market.

Cyclopentane is mainly used as eco-friendly blowing agent in Polyurethane foam used for thermal insulation in refrigerators, insulated pipes & roofs, construction panels, etc. It is also used in manufacturer of synthetic resins, rubber adhesives, lubricants, etc.

Cyclopentane being halogen free compound is environment friendly with low Ozone Depletion Potential and thus is fast replacing Chloro Fluoro Carbon (CFC) and Hydro Chloro Fluoro Carbons (HCFC) applications in refrigeration and thermal insulation.

HPL has 5 KTPA capacity with technology from Axens, France.

Environment friendly (Lower Ozone depletion potential than CFC/HCFC)

Cyclopentane is mostly sold to Refrigeration Companies in India and abroad.

This is a C5 stream with mix of mainly N-Pentane and Iso-Pentane. This is used internally as a Cracker feed-mix and as a gasoline blend-stock. Also, part of Pentanes is sold to enlisted distillers mainly for extraction of N-Pentane & Iso-Pentane.

While Iso-pentane goes for blowing agent as CP/IP mix in Polyurethane foam used for thermal insulation in refrigerators, N-Pentane is used as blowing agent for Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) foam. Also, N-Pentane & Iso-Pentane are used as cooling agent in refrigeration/AC.

Pentanes as a stream is also used as a solvent & thinners in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and manufacturing.

Low Sulphur

Carbon Black Feedstock (CBFS) is the heavy hydrocarbon mix (mostly C9-C15 fraction and higher) bottom product of Naphtha cracker unit. CBFS is the key raw material used to manufacture carbon black pigment which is used as a reinforcing agent in rubber products such as tyres, conveyor belts, cable, etc.

CBFS can also be used as a heating fuel oil in industrial units on virtue of its low pour point enhancing flow characteristics.

HPL can produce 89 KTPA of CBFS.

HPL CBFS QUALITY HIGHLIGHT
