Laffans Petrochemicals Limited (an ISO 9001 – 2000Company) set up in 1994 to manufacture ethylene oxide derivatives such as Ethoxylates, Propoxylates, Glycol Ethers, Acetates, Ethanol Amine, and Brake fluids is located in Ankleshwar, Gujarat. The company entered into collaboration with global leader chemicals for manufacturing of ethylene oxide derivatives under brand and technology.

The plant set up under technical assistance of Reliance Industries Ltd is in proximity to E.O supply from Reliance, Hazira. This ensures uninterrupted supply of its basic feedstock which cannot be imported due to its hazardous nature. LPL maintains its own fleet of specially fabricated E.O tankers, and is currently the largest buyer of Ethylene Oxide in the Country.

The unit has commissioned India’s largest loop reactor with state – of the – art – controlled system from ROSE MOUNT for consistent quality, This ensures a faster reaction rate and minimum residence time of un reacted EO, which results in high purity ethoxylates with low color, odor and aldehides. The minimum free EO and Dioxane content eliminates interface in the subsequent application.

This multipurpose unit is geared to produce Polyethylene Glycols and EO condensates of Alkyl Phenols, Fatty Alcohols, Fatty Acids and Natural Oils also manufacture Esters of stearates & oleates, EO PO Copolymers, Ethanol Amines such as MEA, DEA, TEA. The unit also produce APO free (Non Alkyl Phenol i.e. NP/OP free) ethoxylates as per international requirement. These are highly biodegradable, low foaming, high performance wetting agent cum detergent totally stable in hard water and mild to skin. This comprehensive range of Ethoxylates is widely used in agrochemicals, textiles, paints, lubricants, detergents, pharmaceuticals and personal care products.
