Business Summary
Octel Corp. is an international chemical company specializing in the manufacture, distribution and marketing of fuel additives and specialty chemicals. Principal product lines are lead alkyl antiknock compound (TEL), other petroleum additives and performance chemicals. The Company's products are sold globally, primarily to oil refineries. The Company is organized into two business units for reporting purposes, TEL and Specialty Chemicals. TEL, the most significant of the Company's products, accounted for approximately 71% of 2000 sales. TEL was first developed in 1928 and introduced into the European market for internal combustion engines to boost octane levels in gasoline, allowing it to burn more efficiently and eliminating engine knock. It also acts as a lubricity aid, reducing engine wear. The Specialty Chemicals Business Unit comprises two developing business areas, Petroleum Specialties and Performance Chemicals.
