Plastic Resins (ABS/SAN/ASA)

Monomer used to manufacture Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN), providing heat stability, chemical resistance, and hardness to everyday plastics

Acrylic Fibers

Heavily chosen for the textile industry to make acrylic yarn, clothing, heavy blankets, carpets, and industrial workwear

Carbon Fiber Precursor

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is spun and carbonised to manufacture high-performance carbon fibres used in aerospace, defence, electric vehicle components, and wind turbine blades

Nitrile Rubber (NBR) & Elastomers

Copolymerised with butadiene to create oil-resistant synthetic rubbers, heavily used for industrial hoses, automotive seals, and disposable medical nitrile gloves

Chemical Intermediates

Synthesised into acrylamide for municipal wastewater treatment, water purification coagulants, and enhanced oil recovery
