• Caprolactam – Caprolactam is the key chemical compound used in
the production of Nylon 6 resin. In recent years, approximately 60% of the caprolactam
we have produced at our facility in Hopewell, Virginia has been shipped to our
facility in Chesterfield, Virginia to manufacture Nylon 6 resin. We market and
sell the caprolactam that is not consumed internally in Nylon 6 resin production
to customers who manufacture polymer resins or use caprolactam to produce nylon
fibers, films and other nylon products. Our Hopewell manufacturing facility is
one of the world’s largest single-site producers of caprolactam as of December
31, 2016.
• Ammonium Sulfate Fertilizer – Ammonium sulfate fertilizer is derived
from the caprolactam manufacturing process. Because of our Hopewell facility’s
size, scale and design, we are the world’s largest single-site producer
of ammonium sulfate fertilizer as of December 31, 2016. We market and sell ammonium
sulfate fertilizer primarily to North American and South American resellers and
customers who use the product to grow crops.
• Chemical Intermediates – We manufacture, market and sell a number
of other chemical products that are derived from the chemical processes within
our integrated supply chain. Most significant is acetone which is used by our
customers in the production of adhesives, paints, coatings, solvents, herbicides
and other engineered plastic resins. Other intermediate chemicals that we manufacture,
market and sell include phenol, alpha-methylstyrene (“AMS”), cyclohexanone,
methyl ethyl ketoxime (“MEKO”), cyclohexanol, acetaldehyde oxime,
2-pentanone oxime, sulfuric acid, ammonia and carbon dioxide.
