Chemical inorganic manufacturing industry

BASF is a chemical manufacturing company that operates production facilities in 38 countries, owns 159 subsidiaries and serves customers in more than 170 countries. Around 22% of BASF sales are made to North American industries. The firm operates in five business segments chemicals plastics performance products agricultural products and nutrition and oil and gas. The chemicals segment manufactures over 1,500 inorganic, petrochemical and intermediate chemicals for the pharmaceutical, construction, textile and automotive industries. The plastics segment primarily manufactures polystyrene, styrenics and... 

This trade association represents the manufacturers of a broad range of petro-chemicals, inorganic chemicals, polymers, and specialty chemicals. The CCPA s membership accounts for 90% of the industrial chemicals manufactured in Canada. 

The export and import values for chemical segments described in Table 2.4, chemical-fertilizer, chemical-organic, chemical-inorganic, and chemical-other, are detailed in Table 2.5. The magnitude of the individual items varies from year to year, but overall, the balance is favorable and these four segments of chemical manufacturing are usually positive values. It should be pointed out that various items (plastic materials, pharmaceuticals, etc.) that make up chemical manufacturing have been excluded, but this was done without bias. The four items used in Tables 2.4 and 2.5 are directly related to what has been traditionally known as the chemical industry. The less favorable Total Trade Balance of the United... 

Sodium carbonate (soda) is a heavy chemical product, manufactured and extracted from natural deposits, comparable in importance to sodium hydroxide. The development of processes for the synthetic manufacture of sodium carbonate is closely associated with the history of industrial inorganic chemistry (Leblanc proce.ss, Solvay process and the technical developments which resulted from them). The applications of sodium carbonate e.g. in the manufacture of glass and for cleaning purposes have been known since ancient times.
