In addition to their use as catalyst sulfidation agents, polysulfides are commonly used in the formulation of lubricant additives for extreme pressure functionality. Chevron Phillips Chemical’s polysulfides are of the general formula RSnR, where R is a linear or branched alkyl group and n = 3-5. The name polysulfides also refers to substances of general structure (R-S-R-S-R)n where R is an alkyl group. From this molecule class, Chevron Phillips Chemical offers only one product: Ryton® polyphenylene sulfide.

A.k.a. PP. Found in everything from flexible and rigid packaging to fibers and large molded parts for automotive and consumer articles, polypropylene is a low-density plastic. Chevron Phillips Chemical produces and markets polypropylene through a partnership with Sumitomo Chemical Company Ltd., known as Phillips Sumika Polypropylene Company.
Industry:Energy
A chemical reaction, typically catalytic in nature in which monomers and possibly co-monomers are reacted to form a high molecular weight material. It can occur spontaneously or by introduction of reactive substances.
Industry:Energy
A large molecule formed by chemical reaction of one or more lower molecular weight reagents of five or more several identical combining units (monomers).
