From keeping our food and water fresh to safeguarding medical instruments and enhancing vehicle performance, plastics play an essential role in our daily lives. At CPChem, we are working to make these vital materials more sustainable through innovative design and product applications.
With a diverse range of products supporting more than 70,000 consumer and industrial uses, we strive to leverage the advantages of plastics while working to reduce our environmental footprint.
Product Spotlight
Polyalphaolefins are highly effective in electronic immersion cooling systems due to their superior insulating properties and ability to maintain low temperatures. By efficiently managing heat, our PAOs help prevent overheating and ensure that electronic components operate within optimal temperature ranges. This not only enhances the performance and longevity of electronics but can also lead to significant energy savings. The improved thermal management provided by PAOs results in more efficient energy usage, reducing overall power consumption and contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective cooling solution. SDG #9, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Automotive
CPChem’s normal alpha olefins and polyalphaolefins are key components in high-performance lubricants for vehicles, aircraft, wind turbines, and more, outperforming many alternative materials.
Food & Agriculture
Specialized plastic packaging offers an efficient and cost-effective way to preserve produce, extend the shelf life of dairy, meat, and poultry products, and protect food during storage and transportation. Plastics also play a vital role in food production, providing durable pipes and fittings for agricultural irrigation systems to water crops and hydrate livestock.
Home & Electronics
Plastics’ versatility makes them highly desirable for electronic and technological applications. Their strength and flexibility enable safe use of extension cords, network cables, and device chargers through effective plastic shielding of electrical wires.
Medical & Pharmaceutical
The unique properties of plastics make them well-suited for medical applications, such as pharmaceutical containers and packaging that keeps medical instruments protected and sterile. CPChem’s Specialty Chemicals division supports the pharmaceutical industry by providing materials used in medical devices and surgical equipment.
Personal Care
From squeezable tubes for lotions and shampoos to deodorant packaging, plastics provide an exceptional level of quality and accessibility in personal care products.
Waste Management
CPChem plastics serve as the essential material in manufacturing durable curbside waste collection bins with lids, designed to efficiently collect waste for recycling and landfilling in North America. Even after use, materials such as cardboard, metal, and plastic retain value. These bins play an important role and contribute to an effective waste management system.
Water & Infrastructure
High-density polyethylene pipes provide clean drinking water and significantly reduce the substantial water loss seen in steel and concrete piping systems. Additionally, polyethylene pipes safeguard sensitive electrical and telecommunication cables, helping to keep the world connected.
