On Sunday, South Korea’s leading refiner and chemical company SK Innovation Co., announced its success in producing a prototype of a chemical product by using pyrolysis oil.
Some chemical prototypes, including solvents and lube base oils, were successfully manufactured on a trial scale by significantly reducing the impurities of pyrolysis oil extracted from waste plastics.
The newly-manufactured solvent has high paraffin content and low odor, which differ from existing products. The lube base oil also has properties suitable for making the highest quality base oil.
