The factories at Shell Moerdijk mainly produce the basic chemicals ethylene, butadiene, propene, ethylene oxide, ethylene oxide, ethylene glycols, propene oxide, propene oxide and styrene monomer from naphtha, hydrowax, LPG and gas oil. These are products that most people don't say much about, yet everyone comes across them in everyday life. In fact, society as we know it would not exist if there were no petrochemical raw materials for the mass production of consumer products. The basic chemicals that are made at Shell Moerdijk are processed by other companies in products that we use every day. The end applications of this are very diverse. They are the lightweight materials and tires of a car, mobile phone cases, detergents, heat insulation materials, packaging materials, but also the products for our personal care.
