Purified terephthalic acid is a major raw material in the manufacture of polyester polymer. There has been a growth in demand for PTA, particularly in Asia, driven by increasing end usages of polyesters in apparel, packaging and industrial applications.

To ensure consistently high product quality, Indorama Petrochem has invested in advanced quality control systems and equipment from leading global manufacturers. The company's automated QA systems include advanced process control (APC) and computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), which keeps a constant watch over product quality and takes real-time corrective actions in event of any process deviations. Vital tests and analysis are also conducted offline with advanced instruments to ensure 100 per cent compliance.

Indorama Petrochem supplies PTA in the following packaged forms:
Bags: : PTA is supplied in PP woven bags of 1.1/1.2 MT each. These bags have been specially designed to sustain the long voyages through the movement of PTA by road, rail or ship. These bags facilitate ease of handling and have negligible chance of contamination or bursting.

For exports shipments 20 such bags are transported in a 20 ft container. Break-bulk cargos of large shipment are also accepted for major break-bulk ports.

Sea bulk: PTA can be supplied in 20 ft mild steel ISO lined container (TEU). This container is delivered completely lined on the inside with a one-trip polyethylene liner. In order to support the liner and to discharge, a bulkhead is fitted behind the doors of the TEU.

Hopper truck: Hooper trucks with aluminium bodies are used for local deliveries. These trucks can carry up to 25 mt.
