Polyvinyl alcohol is the raw material to make other polymers like:

The company was an industry leader in metallocene catalyst technology to make unique polymers with improved performance.

This makes them useful in making polymers but also requires special care in handling and use.

They are also used to make polymers for aircraft and electronics.

But the scientists ran into problems trying to make other more common polymers like acrylic.

Other companies are also looking for ways to reduce the amount of energy consumed in the major processes for making polymers.

The industry finally matured in the late 1970s when world polymer production surpassed that of Steel, making polymers the ubiquitous material that it is today.

Many important biochemicals can be joined together to make polymers such as DNA and proteins.

Hazardous chemicals are often required to make polymers used in lubricants, adhesives, coatings, and many other products.

The company then built a complex on the Houston Ship Channel devoted to making petrochemicals and polymers.
