About Samyang > Subsidiaries > Samnam Petrochemical  
Samnam Petrochemical specializes in TPA(Terephthalic
Acid), the main raw material for polyester fibers. It has
annual TPA production capacity of 1.6 million tons,
which is Korea¡¯s and the world¡¯s largest TPA plant.
TPA is produced from PX(Para-Xylene), which is
generated by refining crude petroleum. TPA is used
as the main raw material for PET resins, films, paints,
and engineering plastics. TPA provides superior thermal resistance, abrasion resistance and insulation, due to which its applications are broadening into bottles, electrical and electronic appliances, industrial and construction materials, thus the demand for TPA continues to grow steadily.
