Chemicals power our lives. You can’t touch anything around you that hasn’t been brought to you by chemical production. The paint on our cars, the medications we take, even the municipal water we drink, all owe their safety and effectiveness, if not their very existence, to chemicals.
Chemical manufacturers, the chemical distribution industry, paint and coatings professionals, and other industry users of chemical formulations understand and embrace this concept. We also know that chemicals are vital to our economy. The chemical industry represents approximately 25% of the U.S. gross domestic product, and 95% of all products manufactured in the United States use chemical products.
