Amoco Performance Products Inc., Greenville, South Carolina, USA—acquired Union Carbide s carbon fiber production at Greenville, where a range of carbon fibers from pitch, cellulosic and PAN precursors were made under the trade name of Thornel. PAN precursor is also produced there. In the early 1990s, also acquired BASF s carbon fiber production. BASF, in 1985, had acquired the Celion carbon fiber production from Celanese at Rockhill, North Carolina. Meltspun PAN was also produced at Rockhill, but this was discontinued in favour of using precursor from Toho Rayon. Became BP Amoco and was purchased by Cytec Industries Inc. 

At the time, Amoco Chemicals Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Standard Oil Company (Indiana), which later changed its name to Amoco. Amoco Performance Products, Inc., was created with the purchase of Union Carbide s high-performance polymer and carbon fiber groups in 1985. BP inherited the polymers business in its merger with Amoco and then divested it to Solvay, where Torlon and the other high-performance polymers are now within the Solvay Advanced Polymers, LLC, business unit. 

In 1990, Amoco Performance Products, Inc., introduced an even higher-performance sulfone polymer derived from the condensation polymerization of 4,4 -dichlorodiphenylsulfone with 4,4 -dihydroxy-diphenyl (also known as biphenol). This polymer, which came to be known as polyphenylsulfone (PPSF) and which was introduced commercially under the trade name Radel R, has the following repeat unit structure ...
