The Materials division delivers advanced polymers, such as aromatic, high-barrier, and fluoropolymers, catering to critical industries like electronics, automotive, aerospace, and healthcare. It also provides composite materials for sophisticated aerospace engineering applications. The Chemicals division manufactures fundamental chemicals including soda ash and sodium bicarbonate, which are largely supplied to the glass, detergent, pharmaceutical, animal feed, and food sectors. This segment also produces hydrogen peroxide, primarily used for bleaching pulp in the paper industry, as well as for chemical, electronic, food, mining, and environmental applications. Additionally, it offers dispersible silica for tire manufacturing, various solvent solutions, specialized phenols, polyamide derivatives, and innovative, sustainable yarns and polymers. The Solutions division focuses on bespoke chemicals for agriculture, home and personal care, coatings, and general industrial markets. It develops technological solutions in areas such as specialty mining reagents, phosphine-based chemistry, and polymer stabilization. This segment also provides fluorine and rare-earth formulations for the automotive, electronics, agrochemical, and construction industries, along with vanillin for the flavor and fragrance sector, and synthetic intermediates for pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and electronics production. Furthermore, it supplies a range of upstream oilfield chemicals—including friction reducers, gelling agents, emulsion breakers, surfactants, inhibitors, cementing additives, and biocides—and sodium hypophosphite for metal plating and other uses. The Corporate & Business Services division is responsible for providing energy and various other essential business support functions.
