Downstream Applications

From Chemical Plant to Finished Product

IGPL's four core products feed into 15+ downstream industries — from the plasticizer in your PVC pipe to the resin in your car's topcoat.

Product Portfolio

Four Products. Dozens of Applications.

Every product from Taloja enters a chain of downstream formulators and manufacturers that touch industries across the economy.

Phthalic Anhydride downstream applications
Primary Product

Phthalic Anhydride (PA)

The anchor product of IGPL's portfolio, PA is the chemical backbone of plasticizers, alkyd resins, and unsaturated polyester resins used across construction, coatings, and flexible PVC applications.

  • Plasticizers — DOP, DINP, DIDP for flexible PVC
  • Alkyd resins for decorative and industrial coatings
  • Unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) for composites
  • Phthalate-free plasticizers (DINCH, DOTP)
  • Glyptal resins for electrical insulation
Paints & Coatings Flexible PVC Construction Automotive

Maleic Anhydride downstream applications
Coproduct

Maleic Anhydride (MA)

Recovered as a coproduct in PA synthesis, MA is a versatile intermediate widely used in composites manufacturing, food-grade acids, and agrochemical synthesis.

  • Unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) for FRP
  • Fumaric acid and malic acid production
  • Agrochemicals — herbicide and pesticide synthesis
  • Lubricant additives and corrosion inhibitors
  • Specialty polymer modification
FRP Composites Food & Pharma Agrochemicals

Benzoic Acid downstream applications
Coproduct

Benzoic Acid (BA)

A high-value coproduct from PA manufacture, benzoic acid serves as a food preservative precursor, pharmaceutical intermediate, and specialty chemical building block.

  • Sodium benzoate — food and beverage preservative
  • Benzoyl chloride for pharma synthesis
  • Benzaldehyde for flavor and fragrance
  • Phenol precursor in chemical synthesis
  • Plasticizers via benzoate esters
Food & Beverage Pharmaceuticals Specialty Chemicals

Diethyl Phthalate downstream applications
Downstream

Diethyl Phthalate (DEP)

Produced downstream from PA, DEP is a low-toxicity phthalate ester used as a fragrance fixative, cellulose solvent, and specialty plasticizer across personal care and pharmaceutical sectors.

  • Fragrance fixative in perfumes and cosmetics
  • Cellulose ester solvent for film and lacquer
  • Pharmaceutical tablet coating solvent
  • Insect repellent carrier solvent
  • Specialty polymer and film plasticizer
Cosmetics & Fragrances Pharmaceuticals Specialty Polymers

End Markets

Industries We Serve

IGPL products reach your factory through formulators, compounders, and distributors across 15+ industry verticals.

Plasticizers

DOP/DINP/DIDP from PA — the largest single end-use, making PVC cables, flooring, and films flexible.

PA

Paints & Coatings

Alkyd resins derived from PA form the backbone of decorative and industrial coating formulations.

PA

Construction & Infrastructure

PA and MA feed UPR-based GRP pipes, water tanks, and structural panels used in large-scale infrastructure.

PA MA

Automotive

PA and MA derive UPR composites, body fillers, and alkyd-based topcoats for interior and exterior automotive applications.

PA MA

FRP / Composites

MA into UPR is the chemistry behind fibreglass-reinforced parts, boat hulls, and composite panels in wind and construction.

MA

Food & Beverage

Benzoic acid converts to sodium benzoate — one of the most widely used food preservatives globally.

BA

Pharmaceuticals

BA is used in benzoyl chloride and phenol synthesis; DEP acts as a pharmaceutical-grade tablet coating solvent.

BA DEP

Cosmetics & Fragrances

DEP serves as a fragrance fixative and carrier solvent in perfumes, lotions, and personal care formulations.

DEP

Agrochemicals

Maleic anhydride is a key intermediate in the synthesis of herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.

MA

Electrical & Electronics

PA-derived plasticizers make PVC flexible for wire insulation, cable jacketing, and electrical fittings.

PA

Textiles

DEP is used as a plasticizer in cellulose acetate spinning — the fibre base for acetate fabrics and filtration materials.

DEP

Specialty Chemicals

MA and BA serve as versatile intermediates in specialty synthesis — including flame retardants, corrosion inhibitors, and fine chemicals.

MA BA

Supply Chain Position

Where IGPL Sits in the Value Chain

IGPL converts o-xylene feedstock into phthalic anhydride and recovers maleic anhydride, benzoic acid, and DEP as coproducts.

Our products are intermediates — they leave Taloja as industrial chemicals and re-enter the economy as plasticizers, resins, preservatives, solvents, and coatings in products people use daily.

This position in the middle of the chain makes IGPL structurally important. When demand for coatings or flexible PVC rises, IGPL benefits. When a new application emerges — phthalate-free plasticizers, bio-based UPR — IGPL is positioned to serve it.
