 PROFILE
Chemical giant Union Carbide -- a subsidiary of Dow Chemical -- keeps a hand in basic chemicals, although it derives about 70% of sales from specialty and intermediary chemicals. Union Carbide's specialty and intermediates segment makes a variety of products, including polyolefins (wire insulation); surfactants (cleaners); polymer catalysts; cellulose-, glucose-, and lanolin-based products (personal care items); latex (paint and adhesives); solvents; specialty coatings; and acrolein and derivatives. The basic chemicals and polymers segment is a world leader in ethylene oxide production (used in making polyester fibers), as well as ethylene glycol production (for making antifreeze).
