Quality Products for Every Application
Normal alpha olefins, featuring highly accessible terminal double bonds, are ideal materials for manufacturing numerous products. Normal alpha olefins or their derivatives are used extensively as polyethylene comonomers, plasticizers, synthetic motor oils, lubricants, automotive additives, surfactants, paper size, and in a wide range of specialty applications. As major petrochemical building blocks, their use in the development of new chemical products is virtually unlimited.
Reliable Supply of Normal Alpha Olefins
Our normal alpha olefins are produced at our state-of-the-art Cedar Bayou Petrochemical Complex just outside Baytown, Texas, near Houston. Ongoing facility expansion enables us to ensure a dependable supply of consistent, high-quality normal alpha olefins now and for the future.
Our normal alpha olefin units are equipped with advanced instrumentation and control equipment to maintain production efficiency and uniform quality. A distributed control system (DCS) in tandem with online analyzers for real-time monitoring greatly enhances our units’ abilities to maintain product consistency.
Online process sampling verifies carbon number quality and normal alpha olefin content. Quality control and product analysis are performed in our onsite petrochemical laboratory to ensure the quality of our normal alpha olefin products. Our dedication to quality has earned us ISO certification since 1993. |
