Chemicals from SABIC Olefins Olefins are used in the manufacture of virtually all consumer products made with

chemicals or plastics. The most important of these are ethylene and propylene. Ethylene Propylene Butadiene Butene-1

Oxygenates The main chemicals in this group are alcohols and ethers. An important oxygenate for SABIC is methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), the octane enhancer that replaces lead in fuel. Methanol is the starting point for the formaldehyde resins on which the paint, adhesive and decorativelaminate industries depend, while purified industrial ethanol is a component of many pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, insecticides and organic solutions. MEOH (Methanol) CIE (Crude Industrial Ethanol) MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)

Aromatics Aromatics are a group of hydrocarbons that form the basis of important commodity chemicals used in the production of items such as clothing, paints and packaging. Among SABICs aromatics are styrene, benzene and paraxylene. Styrene Monomer Benzene Paraxylene CBO (Carbon Black Oil) Cracked Distillate C9 Resinfeed HF 1800 PYGAS (Pyrolysis Gasoline)

Chemical intermediates Chemical intermediates are used to make a wide range of materials for everyday essentials such as textiles, soaps, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other plastics. Caustic Soda EDC (Ethylene Dichloride) VCM (Vinyl Chloride Monomer) 2-EH (2-Ethyl Hexanol) DOP (Dioctyl Phthalate) I-BAL (Iso-Butyraldehyde)

Fibre intermediates Fibre intermediates are used in the manufacture of antifreeze, detergents, paints and polyester. MEG (Monoethylene Glycol) DEG (Diethylene Glycol) TEG (Triethylene Glycol) PTA (Purified Terephthalic Acid)

Industrial gases Industrial gases are gases that we supply pure, in liquid or gas form, which are used in industrial processes. While we mainly supply these gases to SABIC affiliates, our kryptonxenon mix and our argon are available for regional industries and for export. GOX (Gaseous Oxygen), LOX (Liquid Oxygen) GAN (Gaseous Nitrogen), LIN (Liquid Nitrogen) LAR (Liquid Argon) Crude Krypton-Xenon Mix GAH (Gaseous Hydrogen)

Linear alpha olefins Linear alpha olefins are linear hydrocarbons with an even number of carbon atoms, unsaturated at the terminal (alpha) positions of the molecule. These chemicals form components of comonomers, alcohols, lubricants, surfactants and other intermediate chemicals. Hexene-1 (C6) Octene-1 (C8) Decene-1 (C10) Dodecene-1 (C12) C14 - C18 C20+
