Business Manager – Acetyls & Methanol
Acetyls (Acetic Acid, Vinyl Acetate Monomer), Polyacetal, Methanol

One of the world’s major commodity chemicals with a total production capacity of about 38 million tpa and a market approaching 32 million tpa. Methanol is made from natural gas and production sites are predominantly located where there are large quantities of cheap gas – often in remote areas and/or associated with oil production. It is easy to transport and is moved around the world in large volumes. Its major derivatives are formaldehyde, Acetic Acid, MTBE and a variety of chemical intermediates. It also has a whole host of minor uses, including solvents, which are sometimes region-or even country-specific.
