It started business with the manufacturing of PVC, using PVC manufacturing technologies acquired from U.S.-based B.F. Goodrich Chemical Company. The Company subsequently developed its proprietary technologies to extract butadiene, isoprene, and other raw materials for synthetic rubbers and plastics, which it currently handles while continuing to manufacture and sell diverse petrochemical products.
