HANYANG PETROCHEMICAL CO., LTD

the information about the company historically known as Hanyang Chemical (Petrochemical) and its current status, along with the English translation.

Important Note: Hanyang Chemical Corporation (한양화학 주식회사) was a major South Korean chemical company. However, it was acquired by the Hanwha Group and eventually became part of what is now Hanwha Solutions Chemical Division. So, while the name Hanyang Chemical might still be referenced historically or in some older contexts, the operational entity today is Hanwha Solutions Chemical Division.

회사 소개:

한양화학 주식회사(Hanyang Chemical Corporation)는 과거 한국의 주요 석유화학 기업 중 하나였습니다. 주로 PVC(폴리염화비닐), CA(클로르알칼리), TDI(톨루엔 디이소시아네이트) 등을 생산하는 대표적인 화학 제조업체였습니다.

그러나 한양화학은 한화그룹에 인수되었으며, 여러 차례의 합병 및 사명 변경을 거쳐 현재는 한화솔루션 케미칼 부문 (Hanwha Solutions Chemical Division)의 일부가 되었습니다.

따라서 현재 "한양화학"이라는 독립 법인으로 운영되기보다는, 한화솔루션 케미칼 부문이 그 사업을 계승하고 있습니다. 한화솔루션 케미칼 부문은 기초 석유화학 제품(에틸렌, 프로필렌 등)부터 폴리머(PE, PVC 등), 정밀화학 제품(CA, TDI 등)에 이르기까지 다양한 화학 제품을 생산하는 글로벌 화학 기업입니다. 한국의 여수, 울산 등 주요 공업 단지에 대규모 생산 시설을 운영하고 있습니다.

업종 구분:

한양화학(및 그 후신인 한화솔루션 케미칼 부문)은 자체 생산 시설을 통해 화학 제품을 직접 제조하는 제조업체(공장)입니다. 무역 활동도 수행하지만 핵심 정체성은 제조업체입니다.

Company Introduction:

Hanyang Chemical Corporation (한양화학 주식회사) was historically one of South Korea's major petrochemical companies. It was a prominent chemical manufacturer, primarily producing products such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), CA (Chlor-Alkali), and TDI (Toluene Diisocyanate).

However, Hanyang Chemical was acquired by the Hanwha Group. Through several mergers and name changes, it is now part of what is known as the Hanwha Solutions Chemical Division.

Therefore, rather than operating as an independent entity under the name "Hanyang Chemical" today, its business has been succeeded by the Hanwha Solutions Chemical Division. Hanwha Solutions Chemical Division is a global chemical company producing a diverse range of chemical products, from basic petrochemicals (like ethylene, propylene) to polymers (like PE, PVC) and fine chemicals (like CA, TDI). It operates large-scale production facilities in major industrial complexes in South Korea, such as Yeosu and Ulsan.

Business Type Classification:

Hanyang Chemical (and its successor, Hanwha Solutions Chemical Division) is fundamentally a manufacturer (factory), directly producing chemical products through its own production facilities. While it also engages in trading activities (sales and distribution), its core identity is that of a manufacturer.

the information about the products associated with the former Hanyang Petrochemical Co., Ltd., translated into English.

Important Context: Hanyang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (한양화학 주식회사) was acquired by the Lotte Group in 1979 and subsequently merged over time into what is now Lotte Chemical Corporation (롯데케미칼). Therefore, the products originally manufactured or sold by Hanyang Petrochemical are now part of Lotte Chemical's broader portfolio.

The list below represents the types of petrochemical products typically associated with Hanyang Chemical's historical operations and which are core products of Lotte Chemical today:

Product Categories and Specific Products (English Translation):

1. Basic Chemicals (Olefins & Aromatics)

Ethylene

Propylene

Butadiene

Benzene

Toluene

Xylene (Mixed Xylene, Paraxylene, Orthoxylene)

Styrene Monomer (SM)

2. Polymers (Plastics & Resins)

Polyethylene (PE)

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)

Polypropylene (PP)

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)

Polycarbonate (PC) - While maybe not original Hanyang, it's a key Lotte product.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) - Also a key Lotte product.

3. Intermediates & Other Chemicals

Ethylene Glycol (EG) (Monoethylene Glycol - MEG, Diethylene Glycol - DEG)

Ethylene Oxide (EO)

Propylene Oxide (PO)

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE)

Acetic Acid

Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM)

In Summary (English):

Hanyang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is no longer operating under that name, as it was integrated into Lotte Chemical Corporation. The products historically associated with Hanyang Petrochemical include basic petrochemicals like Ethylene, Propylene, Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, and Styrene Monomer, as well as major polymers such as Polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE), Polypropylene (PP), and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). They also produced chemical intermediates like Ethylene Glycol (EG/MEG) and Ethylene Oxide (EO). These product lines are now part of Lotte Chemical's extensive portfolio.
