Products
PS
GPPS also known as General Purpose polystyrene and HIPS also known as high impact polystyrene, products have their General as well as Specialty grades. Tailor-made grades also are being made available based on specific vendor requirement. We also make a wide range of colored polystyrene ( CPS ) to meet specific Customer requirements.
EPS
EPS is defined as "Expandable Polystyrene" resin which is Produced by suspension polymerization using styrene monomer.
EPS produced by suspension polymerization, is polymerized in spherical shaped beads with diameter of 0.3 ~ 2.5 mm, and classified into grades for respective applications. EPS available both in general and self-extinguishing grades, is excellent in lightweight, Insulation, mechanical strength, that is widely Widely used for electrical and electronics packaging, cold storage, boxes for agricultural & fishery products, construction, pattern casting, insulation boards and Disposables.
EPC Engineering plastics Compounds
Highly-functional engineering plastic whose properties have been enhanced with compounding
Engineering plastic is lighter yet stronger than general plastics.Thus, it is used as an industrial raw material for automobiles and electronic parts. EPC is a highly-functional engineering plastic whose properties have been further enhanced by using the engineering plastic as the base material and adding certain additives to it. LG Chem provides excellent products based on its proprietary technologies.
South Korean battery maker LG Chemical Ltd, the owner of the facility, deals in development, manufacture and services in the field of polymers.
LG Chemical entered India through Hindustan Polymers through 100 percent takeover and was renamed as LG Polymers India Private Limited (LGPI) in July, 1997.
Hindustan Polymers established in 1961 was manufacturing Polystyrene and its Co-polymers at Visakhapatnam. The company later merged with UB Group owned Mc Dowell & Co. Ltd. in 1978.
LGPI says it is one of the leading manufacturers of Polystyrene and Expandable Polystyrene in India.
The company makes General Purpose polystyrene, Expandable Polystyrene, and Engineering plastics Compounds.
The gas leak from the factory located at RRV Puram near Gopalapatnam, about 15 kms from Visakhapatnam, affected at least 2,000 residents in five villages located around the factory. Panic-stricken residents of RRV Puram, Venkatapuram, BC Colony, Padmapuram and Kamparapalem fled the area and many fell unconscious on the roads.

Industries Minister M Goutham Reddy said that the factory was to reopen today after the lockdown. The workers were preparing to restart the work when the gas started leaking in the wee hours. “We have issued guidelines and protocol to all industries for safe reopening of factories. Our initial information is that workers were checking a gas storage tank when it started leaking. Only a thorough investigation will reveal what exactly happened,” Reddy said.
An official of LG Polymers issued a statement that there was 1800 tonnes of styrene in the storage tank. He said that due to stagnation and changes in temperature it could have resulted in auto polymerization which could have caused vapourisation. “We are investigating the incident. Right now there is no leak as it has been contained. We will observe the facility for another four hours and give an all clear after a thorough inspection,’’ he said.
