Chansin Treenuchagron, Senior Executive Vice President, Corporate Commercial & Marketing and Somkiat Lertripuwadol, Executive Vice President, Corporate Commercial & Marketing, IRPC Public Co., Ltd., delivered TDAE product through ISO Tank to Songkrit Boonyabaramee, Vice President – Lubricants Marketing & Technical Services Department, PTT Public Co., Ltd., to send as a raw material for a tyre plant in China. It was the first time that PTT has expanded its trade into the TDAE market after succeeding in expanding lubricants to China. This trade cooperation has increased IRPC’s market share in China while collaborating on a new product with PTT Group as well.
TDAE (Treated Distillate Aromatic Extract) is a product derived from aromatics oil which is used as a raw material for producing tyre and synthetic rubber. Its characteristics include reduction in heat build-up so it prolongs the life of tyres and low rotational resistance of tyres which helps save fuel. A portfolio of research and development by IRPC can produce better quality aromatic oils than the originals by producing aromatics compounds with PCA value lower than the international standard, so it does not cause cancer or genetic mutations in humans.
