At present, six manufacturing facilities are operated and managed by Dow as follows:

Polystyrene Plant

First launched at Phra Pradaeng in 1978 as the first domestic polystyrene manufacturer, the plant was moved to Map Ta Phut and re-launched in 1995. Its feedstock is supplied by an on-site associate company (Siam Styrene Monomer Co., Ltd.).

Styrene-Butadiene Latex Plant

Started up in 1993, the plant leverages Dow’s latest technology. Dow is using styrene monomer derived from Dow’s own Styrene Monomer and Ethylbenzene Plant and butadiene derived from a local producer transmitted by pipeline within the Map Ta Phut complex.

Ethylbenzene and Styrene Monomer Plant

This plant came on stream in 1997, processing from benzene and ethylene into high-quality styrene monomer, supplying to our own polystyrene and styrene-butadiene latex plants. Styrene is also sold to local external customers as well. 

Polyethylene Plant (Train I)

With its first train started up in 1999, this plant produces linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE).

Polyethylene Plant (Train II)

For greater operating efficiency, broader product coverage, and faster response to customers’ needs, Dow established the second solution polyethylene train in 2010. This was also the first polyethylene plant with an ABB 800xA process automation system, containing Dow-developed software.

Specialty Elastomers Plant

Started up in 2011, this plant supplies customers in this fast-growing region with some of the most technologically advanced elastomers in the world, Versatile AFFINITY™ polyolefin plastomers, and ENGAGE™ polyolefin elastomers.
