# TPC Group

> TPC Group is a Houston-based petrochemical processor and industrial supplier. It separates crude C4 streams into ingredients for synthetic rubber, plastics, fuels and additives, and connects suppliers and customers through Gulf Coast processing, storage and transport infrastructure.

- **Founded:** 1943
- **Headquarters:** Houston, United States
- **Products:** Crude C4 processing, Butadiene, Butene-1, Polyisobutylene, PIBplus
- **Notable:** Reported Houston butadiene nameplate capacity of 1.1 billion pounds per year in December 2024., Reported a further 27% increase over 2023 di-isobutylene capacity in October 2024., Completed Chapter 11 in December 2022, eliminating more than $950 million in secured funded debt.

## Products & services

- **Crude C4 processing** — Separation, purification and delivery of mixed C4 components sourced primarily from ethylene crackers; Houston processing supplemented by a southeast Texas toll manufacturer.
- **Butadiene** — Chemical feedstock for synthetic rubber, ABS precursors and other industrial materials; Houston nameplate capacity reached 1.1 billion pounds per year in the December 2024 announcement.
- **Butene-1** — Co-monomer used in polyethylene for packaging and containers; also used in oxo-alcohol production.
- **Polyisobutylene** — Highly reactive and enhanced grades for lubricant and fuel additives, adhesives, sealants, greases and packaging, produced using proprietary technology.
- **PIBplus** — Epoxidized polyisobutylene technology described by TPC as a platform for more reactive chemistry; proposed dispersant applications require customer qualification.
- **Di-isobutylene** — Intermediate for specialty chemicals, phenolic resins, plastics antioxidants and lubricants used with lower-global-warming-potential refrigerants.
- **Fuel products and isobutylene derivatives** — Portfolio includes MTBE, raffinates and isobutylene-related products.
- **Infrastructure and logistics** — Storage and delivery through pipelines, rail, ships and barges, including Port Neches and Lake Charles terminal operations.
