PO is a base material for PPG (polyol) used in interior materials for automobiles, and PG is used in cosmetics and medicine.
Lead Partner Simon Fraser said: “We are privileged to have assisted PIC with this important transaction, and the establishment of the strategic joint venture with SKC. The transaction builds further PIC’s capacity in downstream derivatives, and is an important step towards KPC’s 2040 petrochemical strategy.”
