Soda: is the main input in the production of soap, shampoo, lotion, detergents, and water treatments.

Chlorine: is used to purify water for human consumption, in the production of many medications, to disinfect floors and walls, and to bleach pulp for making paper, among many other uses.

PVC: is used to manufacture durable goods for the construction sector such as pipes for the conveyance of drinking water, discharges or irrigation water, and coatings for conducting wires, window frames, floors, geomembranes, roofing, flooring, and even whole houses. This material is also used to make bags to preserve blood, dialysis equipment, catheters, and many other medical devices.

PVC products are present in every home or business in the form of furniture, decorative items, and functional appliances as well as automobile parts, toys, clothing, packaging, printing, and many other applications.

Compounds

Phthalic anhydride: plasticant manufacturing, which in turn is used to make plastic composites (the final part of the compound chain). 

PVC plastic composites: cables, pipes, flexible and rigid film, shoes, curtains, window frames, coatings, and others.

Phosphates: This material can be used to create fertilizers and household, industrial and institutional detergents; ceramics, textiles, fire extinguishers, beverages, processed meats, etc.
