Basic Petrochemicals

LOTTE Chemical has a vertically integrated, efficient production structure for high value-added products
used in construction, home appliance, and textile industries.

C5, a by-product of NC (Naphtha Cracker), was mostly sold for gasoline blending in the past as it was not easy to decompose or recycle.
LOTTE Chemical introduced the C5-based production process to the Yeosu Plant through the Isoprene Project, and
C5 was transformed into the raw material for high value-added products such as IPM, DCPD, and PIP.
DCPD / DCPD(Dicyclopentadiene)
Dicyclopentadiene(DCPD) is a colorless liquid mostly used as raw material for fine chemical products, COC/COP, ENB, RIM, DCPD petroleum resin, and UPR.
It is an unsaturated hydrocarbon with ten carbon atoms that is produced as by-product of the isoprene production process
and contributes to strengthening the competitiveness of naphtha crackers by producing high value-added products.
