CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION
Membership Committee
FORMER MEMBER COMPANIES

To identify large industrial chemical producers in the United States who are not members of the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA).

Developed a list of about 70 key industrial chemicals (including some resins and elastomers) that are produced in large volumes. It is tell that these commodity chemicals broadly reflect the basic building blocks of the U.S. chemical industry:

To identify non-CMA chemical companies, it is necessary to gauge their relative importance in the U.S. chemical industry. This was accomplished by examining capacity data that was obtained from the SRI Directory of Chemical Producers and the Oil & Gas Journal's Petrochemical Survey. All data reflect January, 1990 capacities and reflect limitations of the original source. It a non-CMA company had a total capacity in any one of these chemicals in excess of 2.5 percent of total U.S. capacity it was selected as a possible candidate for CMA membership, Chemical companies whose only products are agricultural/fertilizer chemicals (ag. ammonia, urea) are not included.
