Olefins

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.
