Chevron Phillips Singapore Chemical Plant
Petrochemical plant · Singapore — Jurong Island
The Chevron Phillips Singapore Chemical plant (CPSC) on Jurong Island produces HDPE at roughly 400,000 t/yr. Its ambient-temperature steelwork uses a zinc-rich epoxy + epoxy intermediate + polysiloxane / polyurethane topcoat system, while hot sections use silicone heat-resistant coatings, selected by operating temperature. The case is taken from PPG's public brochure.
Project overview
The Chevron Phillips Singapore Chemical plant (CPSC) is on Jurong Island's petrochemical cluster — a joint venture of Chevron Phillips Chemical and Sumitomo Chemical producing HDPE at roughly 400,000 t/yr. The project is documented in PPG's industrial protective coatings brochure (petrochemical volume).
Corrosion-protection challenges
- Tropical marine climate with year-round heat, humidity and salt spray places high demands on topcoat weatherability and moisture resistance;
- The plant handles complex media — acid mist and hydrocarbon seepage demand high chemical resistance from coatings;
- Hot piping and ambient-temperature steelwork coexist, so systems must be selected zone by zone.
Coating system
| Location | System direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ambient-temperature steelwork | Zinc-rich epoxy + epoxy intermediate + polysiloxane / polyurethane topcoat | Typical PPG petrochemical system direction |
| Hot sections | Silicone heat-resistant coating | Selected by operating temperature |
The table reflects the system or system direction stated in the manufacturer's material; specific products and film thicknesses are governed by the project's technical documents.
