Since gas players have invested cautiously despite continuous growth, they have managed to increase their capital productivity and prevent value leakage during the last five years. Compared with specialty chemicals companies, industrial gases players have shown a relatively stable market-to-book ratio over the last ten years. Current valuation levels are driven by a relatively stable operating performance and substantial growth expectations.

The chemistry of stable, long-lived (or persistent) carbocations, as they became known, thus began and its progress was fast and widespread. Publication of research done in an industrial laboratory is not always easy. 1 would therefore like to thank again the Dow Chemical Company for allowing me not only to carry out the work but eventually also to publish the results. 

Eleven large volume consumers in the United States and their products from acetone are Hsted in Table 10 (47). The largest distributors are Ashland Chemical Company, Unocal Chemicals, ChemCentral, Van Waters Rogers, andJLM Industries (47). 

The largest production of acrylamide is in Japan the United States and Europe also have large production faciUties. Some production is carried out in the Eastern Bloc countries, but details concerning quantities or processes are difficult to obtain. The principal producers in North America are The Dow Chemical Company, American Cyanamid Company, and Nalco Chemical Company (internal use) Dow sells only aqueous product and American Cyanamid sells both Hquid and sohd monomer. In Europe, Chemische Eabrik Stockhausen Cie, Ahied CoUoids, The Dow Chemical Company, and Cyanamid BV are producers Dow and American Cyanamid are the only suppHers to the merchant market, and crystalline monomer is available from American Cyanamid. Eor Japan, producers are Mitsubishi Chemical Industries, Mitsui Toatsu, and Nitto Chemical Industries Company (captive market). Crystals and solutions are available from Mitsui Toatsu and Mitsubishi, whereas only solution monomer is available from Nitto.

The world s manufacturers of aHyl alcohol are ARCO Chemical Company, Showa Denko K.K., Daicel Chemical Industries, and Rhc ne-Poulenc Chimie total production is approximately 70,000 tons per year. 

Companies producing fatty amine quaternaries include Akzo Chemicals Inc. (Arquad) (73) Henkel Corporation (formerly General Mills) (Aliquat) (74) Humko Chemical (Witco Corporation) (Kemamine Q) (31) Jetco Chemicals (The Procter Gamble Company) (fet Quat) (75) Jordan Chemical Company (PPG Industries) (fordaquat and specialty quaternaries) (78) Lonza (Barquat and specialty quaternaries) (79) Sherex (Adogen) (76) and Tomah Products (Exxon Chemical Company) (Tomah Q) (77). 

Examples of uses foi amine oxides include detergent and personal care areas as a foam booster and stabilizer, as a dispersant for glass fibers, and as a foaming component in gas recovery systems. Commercial suppliers of fatty amine oxides include Akzo Chemicals Inc. (Aromox) (73), Jordan Chemical Company (PPG Industries) (fordamox) (78), and Lonza (Badox) (79). 

In the dyestuff industry, anthraquinone still ranks high as an intermediate for the production of dyes and pigments having properties unattainable by any other class of dyes or pigments. Its cost is relatively high and will remain so because of the equipment and operations involved in its manufacture. As of May 1991, anthraquinone sold for 4.4/kg in ton quantities. In the United States and abroad, anthraquinone is manufactured by a few large chemical companies (62). At present, only two processes for its production come into consideration manufacture by the Friedel-Crafts reaction utilizing benzene, phthahc anhydride, and anhydrous aluminum chloride, and by the vapor-phase catalytic oxidation of anthracene the latter method is preferred. 

Conformance to ISO 9000 by U.S. companies was led by the chemical industry as a result of the importance of international trade to chemical companies. An ISO 9000 certification was once thought to be necessary for access to the European market (52). At the beginning of 1994, almost 20% of U.S. certifications went to chemical companies. The emphasis on registration continues at a fast pace, as certification is considered an important suppher selection criterion by U.S. chemical companies. 

Rosin and its derivatives are economically the most important natural resins. Approximately 1150 x 10 metric tons of these materials are produced annually and sold throughout the world. The principal producers are the People s RepubHc of China (ca 40%) and the United States (ca 25%), followed by Russia. Most of the remainder is produced in Indonesia, Portugal, Finland, India, Bra2il, and Mexico. In 1996, the lowest grades of rosin were priced at 750/t. Most rosin is converted to its many derivatives to meet requirements for industrial appHcations. The principal producers of rosin derivatives are Ari2ona Chemical Company, Hercules Incorporated, Westvaco, Union Camp, and Georgia-Pacific.

Production. Sulfolane is produced domestically by the Phillips Chemical Company (Borger, Texas). Industrially, sulfolane is synthesized by hydrogenating 3-sulfolene [77-79-2] (2,5-dihydrothiophene-l,1-dioxide) (2), the reaction product of butadiene and sulfur dioxide ... 

Sulfonates with ether linkages include ring-sulfonated alkylphenol ethoxylates and a disulfonated alkyldiphenyl oxide, Dowfax 2A1, and 3B2 (Dow Chemical Company). This surfactant is characterized by high solubiUty in salt solutions, strong acids, or bases. It is used in industrial and institutional cleaners. 

The principal objective of technical service in the chemical industry is to provide timely and professional information and support to downstream customers regarding chemical products and thek uses. It is neither cost-effective nor necessary for a consumer of chemical products to develop a staff of speciahsts having detailed expertise in all aspects of chemical raw materials and thek uses, particularly in a time of increa singly complex and rapidly technologically driven economies. Rather, this variety of expertise is provided in the chemical marketplace by technical service professionals whose knowledge and skills are made available by chemical products suppHers. As such, successful chemical companies provide technical service as a critical element of thek offerings to the marketplace making use of this aspect of the value chain to enhance thek competitiveness. 

Vinylidene chloride monomer is produced commercially in the United States by The Dow Chemical Company and PPG Industries. The monomer is produced in Europe by Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., in the United Kingdom Badische Anilin und Soda Eabnk and Chemische Werk Hbls in Germany Solvay S.A. and Amaco et Compagnie in Erance and The Dow Chemical Company in the Netherlands. The monomer is produced in Japan by the Asahi Chemical Company, Kureha Chemical Industries, and Kanto Denka Kogyo Company.
