Petromidia refinery supplies to petrochemicals units the entire quantity of polypropylene. The varieties of polyolefins (polypropylene and polyethylene) produced by the Petromidia refinery are used in agriculture, the food industry and for a wide range of products, from FMCG, personal care, electronics and electrotechnics to the auto industry, textiles, and constructions.
The petrochemical division has 3 installations
One installation of polypropylene (PP) and 2 for polyethylene, low density polyethylene (LDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE), with a combined output of over 220,000 tons/year.
The company operates the only marine terminal for offloading ethylene at the Black Sea and the only cryogenic tank with a storage capacity of 10,000 tons.The petrochemicals division produces more than 30 special, niche varieties with added value..
Raw material for medical equipment
Rompetrol petrochemical division has developed a special type of polypropylene dedicated to protective medical masks.It is used for the middle layer of the mask, the most important layer for filtering and protecting against pathogens.
The new type - RMB30H will be delivered in granules in bags of 25 kilograms and will be used in “meltblown” units - a conventional method of manufacturing micro and nanofibers.
Rompetrol produces and provides all the necessary types of products for obtaining type FPP1 and FPP2 sanitary and surgical masks and medical accessories.
The RSB25 (industrial applications), RSB35H and RSB40H (medical and personal hygiene applications) types are dedicated to obtaining nonwoven material for the outer layers of the protective masks, and RMB30H to obtaining nonwoven material for the inner/filtering layer of the masks.
Key Results
Results 2025
In 2025, total polymer production in the petrochemicals segment was 85 thousand tons, an increase compared to the same period last year, due to the restart of the Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) unit in the second quarter of 2025, as well as the full-capacity operation of the Polypropylene (PP) unit.
In 2025, the two units processed 82 thousand tons of propylene and 32 thousand tons of imported ethylene, which supported a sales increase of approximately 35%.
The polymer production from Romania’s only petrochemical division was directed mostly to the domestic market to fulfill deliveries to partners in related industries, thus supporting several production sectors within the country.
The petrochemicals segment is the sole producer of polypropylene and polyethylene in Romania, with the potential to regain its competitive position in the domestic and regional markets once the specialized market stabilizes.
