BASIC CHEMICALS

BUTENE-1

Butene-1 is a co-monomer used in the production of Linear Low density Polyethylene (LLDPE). It has also been used for production of some polyolefin resins, butylene oxide, and butanone.

HPL has capacity to produce 30 KTPA Butene-1 using technology from Axens, France.


HPL BUTENE-1 QUALITY HIGHLIGHT

High Purity min 99.5 vol%

Low impurities Propadiene 5 vol ppm max

Low impurities Butadiene 50 vol ppm max

Low impurities Carbon Monoxide max 1 vppm

BUTADIENE

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.


HPL BUTADIENE QUALITY HIGHLIGHT

High Purity > 99.5 % by wt

Low Dimer
(<250 wt ppm max Ex-Haldia plant)


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

BENZENE

Benzene is a basic aromatic hydrocarbon with molecular formula C6H6.

Benzene is an important raw material for basic industrial chemicals such as:

Styrene for producing polymers, plastics, synthetic rubber, latex, resin
Phenol for producing polymers, plastics, synthetic resins, adhesives, drugs
Cyclohexane for producing Caprolactum used in manufacture of Nylon
Nitrobenzene / Aniline for urethane, rubber chemicals, dyes, pesticides
Chlorobenzene for producing pesticides, dyes, rubber chemicals
Linear Alkyl Benzene for producing detergents, industrial cleaners

HPL manufactures 132 KTPA of Benzene with technology from Lurgi, Germany from Raw Pyrolysis Gasoline fraction.


HPL BENZENE QUALITY HIGHLIGHT

High Purity > 99.9 wt%


Benzene is mostly exported to Asian Markets.

CYCLOPENTANE

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.


HPL CYCLOPENTANE QUALITY HIGHLIGHT

High purity Min 97 wt%

Non-traceable Benzene content

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


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

CARBON BLACK FEEDSTOCK (CBFS)

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

Low heavy metals
Arsenic : < 25 wtppb (parts per billion)
Lead: < 500 wtppb (parts per billion)

Low sulphur < 0.5 wt%

Low Pour Point Minus 10°C
