February 27, 2025 – Luen Thai Plastics, a leading player in the petrochemical industry, has made significant strides in addressing long-standing challenges within the sector through its innovative RTP glass fiber reinforced composite pipes. The petrochemical industry accounts for 18% of total industrial energy consumption, and traditional metal piping systems have historically hampered the sector’s transition towards low-carbon operations due to issues such as corrosion, leakage, and high energy consumption. Luen Thai Plastics’ newly developed RTP glass fiber composite pipes for oil and gas applications represent a revolutionary advancement in materials science, delivering remarkable improvements in corrosion resistance, energy efficiency, and lifecycle carbon reduction. According to insights from the Color Masterbatch Industry Network, this composite-structured product boasts a 300% enhancement in hydrogen sulfide corrosion resistance compared to conventional steel pipes, with a lifespan exceeding 50 years. Additionally, it reduces transportation energy consumption by 22% and cuts the overall lifecycle carbon footprint by 65%. Notably, this innovative piping solution has already been successfully deployed in the national demonstration project, “West-to-East Hydrogen Transmission.”
In the realm of renewable energy, Luen Thai Plastics has overcome a critical bottleneck in hydrogen energy storage and transportation with its flexible hydrogen transmission pipes. Hydrogen, celebrated for its cleanliness and efficiency, has seen its widespread adoption hindered by transportation costs. Leveraging its keen market insights and robust R&D capabilities, Luen Thai Plastics has introduced RTP flexible composite pipes for hydrogen transmission. These pipes exhibit exceptional hydrogen barrier properties and pressure resistance, capable of withstanding pressures up to 12 MPa and maintaining extremely low hydrogen permeability rates, surpassing EU safety standards. Furthermore, their smooth interior walls minimize energy loss during hydrogen transmission, drastically reducing costs for transporting hydrogen over 1,000 kilometers. This innovation provides a reliable infrastructure support for the large-scale application of hydrogen energy.
Within the semiconductor industry, Luen Thai Plastics’ PPH ultrapure piping systems are safeguarding the future of “Made in China” chips. Semiconductor production demands exceptionally stringent requirements for material transportation piping systems. Luen Thai Plastics has reset industry benchmarks with its high-quality industrial PPH piping systems. Fabricated from high-purity PPH materials, these pipes exhibit extremely low metal ion release, meeting the demands of 3-nanometer fabrication processes. Coupled with their impressive heat resistance and corrosion resistance, these piping systems offer long service lives and low maintenance frequencies, providing a stable and reliable safeguard for semiconductor production.
