Texas Petrochemicals LP
 PROFILE
Texas Petrochemicals has kept motoring along thanks to the US Clean Air Act of 1990, which requires an oxygenate in gasoline in heavily populated areas. The company derives 58% of its sales from the production of MBTE, the predominate oxygenate used in US gasoline; however, it plans to reduce dependence on MBTE after several incidents of groundwater contamination. Other products include butadiene, butene-1, high-purity isobutylene, diisobutylene, and isobutylene concentrate, which are used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber, plastic resins, and lubricants. Texas Petrochemicals also operates its own cogeneration power plant and sells the excess capacity. TPC Holdings owns the company, which was formed in 1968.
