Lubrizol Breaks Ground on Polyisobutylene Unit in Deer Park, Texas
CLEVELAND, March 23, 2017 - The Lubrizol Corporation announces that in
conjunction with its previously announced technology license agreement with
Daelim Industrial, it has begun construction of a new polyisobutylene (PIB) unit
at its Deer Park, Texas facility. Construction of this unit is consistent with
Lubrizol continuing to renew its additive infrastructure as part of the
company's previously announced 10-year phased investment plan. The plan is
designed to upgrade and enhance Lubrizol's global capabilities.
Commenting on the new unit, Dan Sheets, president of Lubrizol Additives, states
"With this significant investment, Lubrizol intends to meet future customer
demands, as well as be fully prepared for anticipated performance upgrades in
lubricants and fuels."
The new unit is expected to be fully operational in the first half of 2019. It
will provide Lubrizol with capacity for highly reactive polyisobutylene (HR
PIB), a key raw material for next-generation dispersants and lubricants.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held at the plant on March 22. In attendance was
Deer Park Mayor, Jerry Mouton; Deer Park Independent School District
Superintendent, Victor White; Daelim Industrial Petrochemical division president
and chief executive officer, Jaeyul Kim; Eric Schnur, Lubrizol chairman,
president and chief executive officer; Dan Sheets, senior vice president and
president of LZA; Tanya Travis, general manager of Lubrizol Texas plants; Mike
