| Product | Description |
| Additives/Raw Materials | |
| AFFINITY* GA Polyolefin Plastomers | AFFINITY GA POPs help make better hot melt formulations and improve processing for a variety of polymer modification applications, including plastics compounding/processing, fabrication of multi-laminate structures and thermoplastic traffic markings. |
| Acrylic Monomers | Acrylic acid serves as an essential building block in the production of many useful and important industrial and consumer products.
Acrylic acid is used to produce acrylic esters including methyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, which are then polymerized and used as ingredients in paints, coatings, textiles, adhesives and many other applications. Acrylic acid is also used to produce polyacrylic acid, or crosslinked polyacrylic acid compounds, which are used in the manufacture of detergents and waste water treatment chemicals as well as superabsorbent polymers for diapers and hygiene products. |

| Propylene Oxide | Propylene Oxide is a versatile chemical intermediate used in a wide range of industrial and commercial products, including polyether polyols, propylene glycols and propylene glycol ethers. Polyether polyols are one of the main components in the production of urethanes, which are used in many consumer applications, such as rigid foam insulation and flexible foam seat cushions. Propylene glycols are used in a wide variety of end-use applications, from cosmetics and household detergents to paints and automotive brake fluids. Other products made using propylene oxide are: flame retardants, modified carbohydrates (starches), synthetic lubricants, oil-drilling chemicals and textile surfactants. |
| Vinyl Acetate Monomer | Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is an essential chemical building block used in a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. VAM is a key ingredient in emulsion polymers, resins and intermediates used in paints, adhesives, coatings, textiles, wire and cable polyethylene compounds, laminated safety glass, packaging, automotive plastic fuel tanks and acrylic fibers. |
| Vinylbenzyl Chloride (VBC) | Also known as chloromethylstyrene (CMS); used for synthesis of specialty monomers and polymers |
