Ashta's membrane cell electrolysis splits brine into chlorine, caustic soda, and hydrogen — the foundational chemistry for PVC, polyurethane, water treatment, and a thousand downstream products. The chlor-alkali triangle feeds the chemical industry.

Resonac (former Showa Denko) supplies high-purity aluminum sputtering targets for semiconductor metallization. Our Cu-Sn alloy plating enables advanced chip packaging. Where chemistry meets Moore's Law.

Vesuvius' isostatic ceramics line continuous casting nozzles in steel mills — alumina-graphite composites surviving 1600C molten steel. Every I-beam in every skyscraper passed through our ceramic chemistry.
