Shanghai Sicke Petrochemical, or Shanghai Secco Petrochemical Co., Ltd., has the following typical products and their applications:
- Ethylene:It is one of the most important basic petrochemical products. It is used as a raw material for the production of various polymers and chemicals.
- Polyethylene:Has excellent chemical resistance, low water absorption, and good electrical insulation properties. It is widely used in the production of plastic films, pipes, injection molded products, etc. For example, it is used to make plastic bags, agricultural films, water pipes, and various packaging materials.
- Polypropylene:Has high rigidity, good heat resistance, and excellent mechanical properties. It is used in the manufacture of automotive parts, household appliances, packaging containers, and fibers. Such as car bumpers, dashboards, appliance housings, and food packaging boxes.
- Styrene:An important monomer for the production of polystyrene and other polymers. It is used to make various styrene-based plastics and resins.
- Polystyrene:Has good transparency, rigidity, and impact resistance. It is widely used in the production of packaging materials, disposable tableware, insulation materials, and household appliances. For instance, it is used to make CD cases, beverage cups, egg cartons, etc.
- Acrylonitrile:Used in the production of synthetic fibers, resins, and rubber. It is an important raw material for the manufacture of acrylic fibers, ABS resins, etc.
- Butadiene:Mainly used in the production of synthetic rubber, such as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polybutadiene rubber (BR), etc., which are widely used in the tire industry and other rubber products manufacturing.
- Automotive Industry:Many of its products are used in automotive manufacturing, such as polypropylene for bumpers, dashboards, and interior trim parts; polyethylene for fuel tanks and various pipes; and synthetic rubbers for tires.
- Packaging Industry:Polyethylene and polystyrene are widely used in packaging applications. Polyethylene is used to make plastic films for packaging food, beverages, and other consumer goods, as well as plastic containers and bottles. Polystyrene is used for making disposable cups, plates, and packaging boxes for fragile items.
- Appliance Industry:Polypropylene and other plastics are used in the production of household appliances, such as the housings of refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners, due to their good mechanical properties, heat resistance, and electrical insulation.
- Textile Industry:Acrylic fibers produced from acrylonitrile are used in the textile industry to make clothing, carpets, and other textile products with good wear resistance, warmth retention, and dyeability.
- Construction Industry:Polyethylene pipes are widely used in building water supply and drainage systems. In addition, some polymer-based insulation materials and waterproofing membranes also use petrochemical products.
- Medical Industry:Some petrochemical-derived polymers are used in the production of medical devices, such as polyethylene and polypropylene for disposable syringes, infusion bottles, and medical packaging materials. Specialized polymers may also be used in the manufacture of artificial organs and tissue engineering scaffolds.
