Part of OlefinsEC 203-450-8
Also known as butadiene, erythrene, and vinylethylene.
chemXplore tracks 12 projects involving 1,3-butadiene, of which one is active.
13 produce it and 2 use it as feedstock.
Of the active ones, 1 new construction.
Converts end-of-life and scrap tyres into recovered carbon black, tyre pyrolysis oil and ISCC PLUS‑certified synthetic rubber for reuse in tyre production.
Switch to ISCC PLUS-certified chlorine lowers chloroprene rubber emissions; full conversion completed Jan 2026, ~20% GWP cut versus 2025; Eco grades add certified butadiene.
New PDH catalyst improves selectivity and productivity vs 310 series, extends lifetime, cuts tar precursors up to 20% to reduce fouling and works with CLARITY monitoring
The project enhances Kazakhstan's petrochemical industry, offering technology licensing, design, procurement, and construction to boost synthetic material supply and industry transformation.
The deal secures control over a butadiene unit, integrates it into ORLEN's value chain, and revises agreements for future cooperation and operational flexibility.
The companies will consolidate ethylene production at Mitsui's site by July 2027 to enhance competitiveness amid declining domestic demand and increased global competition.
Synthos sells its stake in a butadiene unit to address Olefins III delays, ensuring continued collaboration with ORLEN through additional agreements. Transaction value: PLN 692 million.
BioButterfly™ project confirms robust biobased butadiene production from bioethanol, meeting industrial specs. Commercialization set for 2026, supporting sustainable synthetic rubber industry.
New ABS resin reduces static, minimizing damage in semiconductor manufacturing. Offers improved durability, appearance, and color flexibility. Samples available next fiscal year.
The new complex boosts Indonesia's petrochemical self-sufficiency to 90%, enhances local economy, and integrates with existing facilities for cost efficiency.
