Polyisobutylene
TPC Group is the largest North American polyisobutylene (PIB) supplier and one of the largest in the world. Using our proprietary, patented technology, we manufacture PIB at our Houston plant and have recently doubled the operating capacity with a recent expansion.
TPC Group offers the broadest portfolio of PIB products to the market and is a major supplier to the lubricant and fuel additive markets, as well as multiple other applications such as caulks, sealants, adhesives, packaging, greases and emulsifiers. We produce viscosities and molecular weights in both conventional and highly reactive PIB (HR-PIB). HR-PIB is especially valued in the fuel and lubricant additive market as it delivers improved end product performance to the consumer and better manufacturing economics for the additive supplier.
