Technical Terms & Abbreviations Fatty Alcohol Fatty alcohol, produced from methyl ester and hydrogen through hydrogenation, is used in personal care products. Glycerin Glycerin, a byproduct of methyl ester production, is used in pharmaceuticals, food, and personal care products. Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (HDI) HDI, obtained from the reaction between hexamethylenediamine and phosgene, is used in polyurethane production. Hexene-1 An organic compound primary is used as a comonomer in production of polyethylene. High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Produced from ethylene monomers, HDPE is a very dense and crystallized thermoplastic used for containers, including plastic bags, bottles, fuel containers, tanks, and cartons. Hydrocracking Hydrocracking is a process of breaking up hydrocarbon molecules by breaking up carbon-carbon bonds with the use of hydrogen and catalysts. Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) LLDPE, a branched thermoplastic with 65-80% crystallization and a byproduct produced from chemical reaction between ethylene and butene-1, is found in film and containers. Liquid Resins and Additives (LRA) Liquid Resins comprise of functional polymers that are carried in either water or a solvent. Liquid resins form an essential part of many coating formulations with the function of forming a protective film that enhances the appearance and surface protection of coatings applied in automotive, marine, industrial and wood applications. Additives are polymer products used in small amounts in coating formulations but have a significant impact on coating properties such as drying speed and reducing surface defects. Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) LDPE is a branched type of thermoplastic with 65-75% crystallization. Obtained from chemical reaction of ethylene monomer coalescing, it is found in film and containers. Methylamines Methylamine, derived from methanol and ammonia, is found in shampoo, hair conditioner, fabric softener, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Methyl Ester Methyl ester, derived from the reaction between crude plant/vegetable oil or animal fats and alcohols under esterification, is used for biodiesel production. Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) MMA is an intermediate product for polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) used for LCD screen light guide panels, automotive parts, and billboards. Mixed C4 Mixed C4, the byproducts produced from naphtha crackers for olefins production, can be isolated into butadiene, butane-1, and isobutene, and others. Mixed Xylenes Aromatics derived from naphtha undergoing a chemical reaction aided by catalysts. They consist of paraxylene, orthoxylene, and metaxylene, all capable of serving as reactants for higher-value aromatics and as industry solvents. Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) MEG, derived from the oxidation of ethylene produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide and water, can serve as an automobile antifreeze agent or a reactant with pure terephthalic acid to produce polyester, clear drinking-water bottles, film, and fiber. 347 BUSINESS OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL REPORTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPENDIX
