Product's Line-up
BENZENE
Benzene is a crucial chemical building block and it is a component of many chemical compounds. Also, it has several commercial uses and demand. Producing of Styrene monomer is the largest use of benzene, followed by cumene/phenol, cyclohexane and nitrobenzene. These products are used to manufacture a wide range of plastics, fibers, resin and films. Benzene is also used as a major part of gasoline, and it is an excellent solvent for waxes, resins, gums, rubber and various other organic materials. S-Chem is one of the largest producers of Benzene in the middle east.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Aromax® Technology
Advantages of Aromax® Technology
S-Chem utilize Chevron Phillips's Aromax® Technology which the premier on-purpose benzene production technology. This technology is providing a superior ability to convert light hydrocarbons to aromatics. The Aromax® process is basically convert light paraffins and naphthene to hydrogen and aromatic products using conventional fixed-bed reforming equipment.
The following are facts about the Aromax® Process:
- First reforming process based on a zeolitic catalyst.
- Best suited for converting C6-C8 hydrocarbons.
- Exceptional selectivity for converting C6 and C7 paraffins and naphthenes to benzene, toluene and hydrogen.
- Toluene extraction may or may not be required.
- Proprietary catalyst technology.
Advantages of Aromax® Technology
- High yield of benzene, toluene, and hydrogen from C6/C7 naphtha.
- Enables the use of lower-priced paraffinic naphtha.
- Sulfur and carburization control.
- More than 16 years of commercial experience.
- Proprietary sulfur and carburization control technology.
CYCLOHEXANE
Cyclohexane is an alicyclic hydrocarbon comprising a ring of six carbon atoms; the cyclic form of hexane, used as a precursor to manufacture nylon 6 and 6,6. It also has a role as a non-polar solvent, industrial catalyst carrier and process diluent. Cyclohexane is considered as cycloalkane, colorless and a volatile organic compound.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
GASOLINE COMPONENTS
Gasoline components are mixture of liquids used to produce a world class clean transportation fuel. Naphtha’s that will be used for blending or compounding into finished aviation or motor gasoline (e.g., straight-run gasoline, alkylate, reformate, benzene, toluene and xylene). Excludes oxygenates (alcohols, ethers), butane.
JCP Jubail Chevron Phillips

| 2 | Propylene | 150 |
| 3 | Styrene | 750 |
Product's Line-up
ETHYLENE
Ethylene is a colorless flammable gas which produced through the steam cracking (Steam Pyrolysis) of hydrocarbon feedstocks. Feedstocks used for steam cracking range from ethane to naphtha and gas oils. Some ethylene is also produced as a byproduct of petroleum refining. Ethylene is a basic building block and it is used for manufacturing polyethylene resins from which items such as trash bags and milk jugs are made. Ethylene is also used to manufacture other plastics resins such polystyrene, polyester and acrylics and it is the main ingredient in ethylene glycol (EG) antifreeze which is used wildly in industry and transportation.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
PROPYLENE
Propylene is considered the oldest petrochemical feedstock in the gas industry. It is one of the smallest stable unsaturated hydrocarbon molecules used in the gas industry and one of the highest volume chemicals produced globally. The propylene molecule is produced as a co-product of ethylene production through the steam cracking (steam Pyrolysis) of hydrocarbon feedstocks. Feedstocks used for steam cracking range from ethane to naphtha and gas oils. Propylene is produced as a by-product of petroleum refining. Propylene is used mainly to produce polypropylene plastics for extrusion and injection molding and fibers and for manufacturing cumene (used in phenol production). Propylene is also used to make propylene oxide, acrylic acid, oxo-alcohols and isopropanol.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
STYRENE
Styrene is one of the most crucial monomers produced by the chemical industry nowadays. Styrene monomer is a basic building block of the plastics industry. The conventional method of producing styrene involves the alkylation of benzene with ethylene to produce ethylbenzene, followed by dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene. Styrene undergoes polymerization by all the common methods used in plastics technology to produce a wide variety of polymers and copolymers. There are several polymer products made by styrene such as polystyrene (PS), expandable polystyrene (EPS), styrene butadiene latex (SBL), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene/terpolymer (ABS), unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).
