Supporting the automotive industry for cleaner and safer mobility

Our main products, phenol, and acetone are key raw materials in the manufacture of polycarbonate, which is used throughout the automotive industry. Headlamps, taillamps, windows, sunroofs, and other automotive components use chemicals created in our facilities.

Our presence in the car sector doesn’t stop there because acetone is a key precursor to methyl methacrylate (MMA), which is also used for auto-glazing and as an exterior car coating, improving the final vehicle’s scratch and weather resistance. Phenol is also a key raw material for nylon intermediates, which are used in engineered thermoplastics and carpeting. All these uses have taken the place of bulkier and frequently less reliable alternatives reducing vehicle weight while boosting performance and fuel economy.

We also provide Alpha Methyl Styrene (AMS), which has been adopted by the automobile industry as a modifier for heat-resistant ABS.
