Petro Rabigh has successfully started production of Thermo Plastic Olefin (TPO), marking a major milestone for the company’s Phase II expansion and diversification program, and for the downstream industry in the Kingdom.

This is the first ever example of TPO production in Saudi Arabia. Used extensively in the automotive industry for interior and exterior car parts such as body seals, air bag lids, radiator hoses and door trims, and also for outdoor applications such as roofing, TPO presents investors in the conversion and manufacturing industries with a wide range of new opportunities.

Petro Rabigh Phase II products are expected to have a major impact on local content by generating opportunity and growth throughout the value chain. The new and diverse products are intended to promote innovation and the creation of a variety of new skills and jobs for Saudi citizens.

Petro Rabigh’s Phase II Cumene Unit, which supplies feedstock for Phenol, became the first Phase II process plant to undergo start-up, and the entire Phase II product slate is projected to enter the market by the third and fourth quarters of this year.
