Marcus Oil & Chemical, a division of HRD Corporation (a privately held corporation), was formed in 1987 for the sole purpose of producing linear, low molecular weight polyethylene waxes, with high melt points. The production facility, located in Houston, Texas, at 14549 Minetta Street, was retrofitted from a new existing plant for this express purpose, utilizing high density polyethylene wax from the Ziegler process.
Dedicated tankers
truck the molten feedstock from petrochemical plants on the Gulf 
Coast
and other domestic and international sources to the Marcus facility where
it is refined into several grades of PE wax. It is then shipped in
molten state, or accudroped and shipped in a variety of packaging styles,
e.g. pastille, powder, micronized and flake form. The processing
unit includes a drum flaker as well as six accudrop belts (60" wide and
88'long). The plant operates seven days per week, 24 hours per day.
Annual capacity is in excess of 250 million pounds.
Marcus Oil & Chemical storage and shipping warehouses are located in Houston, Texas, near major Interstates and 10 miles from the Port of Houston. Shipments from this facility are destined not only for North American points but also worldwide destinations.
Marcus Oil also maintains a polyethylene wax refining plant in Haldia India (see Haldia Polyethylene Wax Refining Plant for more information). Having multiple feedstock supplies under long term contract combined with multiple wax refining plant locations assures reliability of supply for our customers.
