About Us

Our commitment to pioneering new applications is expanding the envelope
for new materials and performance chemicals.

Our chemical business started with the need to secure supplies of soda ash for glass production.
Ion-exchange membranes were a spin-off from the technical advances made along the way. Today, we supply a wide range of high value-added derivatives, a business that originated in chlorine produced during electrolysis. The two main pillars of this business are our technical leadership in fluorinated resins (fluoro-resins) and in urethane. Highly sophisticated products include Cytop transparent fluoropolymers used in optical filters for PDPs and in plastic optical fibers. Moreover, our high-performance polyols are used in special grades of urethane that feature outstanding insulation and cushioning and are widely used in motor vehicle seats and furniture,etc
