Ideal Employee
In the Petrochemicals business, the company has built a vertically integrated system from the basic raw materials such as ethylene and propylene to the downstream products such as PE, ABS and synthetic rubber. The Petrochemicals business is LG Chem's core business area with the
world-class productivity and cost competitiveness.
LDPELow Density Polyethylene
The latest advanced high-pressure technology
LDPE, which stands for low-density polyethylene, is a synthetic resin which is manufactured by polymerizing ethylene. It is one of the most commonly used plastics in our life. Its excellent processability, flexibility and transparency make it a raw material for transparent films, wire sheaths, and diverse wraps. LG Chem produces LDPE using the latest advanced high-pressure technology.
Use of Product
HDPEHigh Density Polyethylene
Proven in the global market for its excellent processability and quality
HDPE, which stands for high-density polyethylene, is a synthetic resin made by polymerizing ethylene. It is one of the most commonly used plastics in our life. It is highly resistant to impact and cold and is often used for a variety of containers and plastic boxes. LG Chem produces HDPE using the cutting-edge manufacturing system based on the low-pressure polymerization method and its superior processability and quality is fully recognized around the world.
POEPolyolefin Elastomer
Differentiated products based on LG Chem's proprietary metallocene catalyst
LG Chem's POE is a copolymer of ethylene and octene or ethylene and butene produced using its proprietary metallocene catalyst. LUCENE is LG Chem's representative POE product. It boasts of distinctly superior impact resistance, high elasticity and low thermal sealing temperature.
PPPolypropylene
Products that are suitable for special purposes
Polypropylene(PP), one of the most commonly used plastics, is a synthetic resin made by polymerizing propylene. Its types vary depending on its properties and processing methods. Its excellent tensile strength and impact strength make it widely used in multiple areas, including films, textiles, automotive parts, and more. LG Chem produces and supplies PP products that are suitable for special purposes such as injection molding and fiber.
EVAEthylene Vinyl Acetate
Increasing product competitiveness
EVA is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate monomer(VA). Its elasticity, heat sealing temperature, durability and permeability vary depending on the content of vinyl acetate monomers. It is used in a variety of areas from value-added products such as photovoltaic sheets to shoe soles, life vests, and more. Ever since the first production back at the end of 2013, LG Chem has bolstered its product competitiveness.
