PT Asahimas Chemical (ASC) Caustic Soda (NaOH) is an essential raw material and process chemical in many industrial operations. ASC delivers Caustic Soda in 48% solution (Liquid Caustic Soda) and in solid form (Flake Caustic Soda, 98%).

PT Asahimas Chemical (ASC) Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) (FJ-57) is the third most widely produced plastic, after polyethylene and polypropylene. Over 50% of PVC manufactured is used in construction, because it is cheap, durable, and easy to assemble.PVC piping, first introduced in 1952, is the largest single market for PVC. Roughly half of the world's polyvinyl chloride resin manufactured annually is used for producing pipes. Its light weight, high strength, and low reactivity make it particularly well-suited for pipes in various municipal and industrial applications as well as for sanitary sewer pipes. PVC is biologically and chemically resistant, making it the plastic of choice for most household sewerage pipes and other pipe applications where corrosion would limit the use of metal.With the addition of impact modifiers and stabilizers, PVC becomes a popular material for window and door frames. By adding plasticizers, it can become flexible enough to be used in cabling applications as insulation on electric wires. PVC fabric is waterproof and commonly used in raincoats, shoes, jackets and bags.PVC has a long history of safe medical applications and has helped saving many patients in intensive medical care. PVC applications in medical tubings, blood bags and a host of other applications in medical equipments are widely acknowledged contributions of the material to mankind.

PT Asahimas Chemical (ASC) Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) is a co-product in the process of EDC cracking. Some of hydrochloric acid is used in Oxy-Chlorination process to produce EDC while the rest is delivered to customers in the form of 33% solution.ASC produce high quality hydrochloric acid with applications ranging from highly demanding applications such as pharmaceutical and food industry, for preparation of drinking water, as a raw material for consumable products, down to more general industrial applications such as for metal pickling, ion-exchange regeneration, raw material for the production of numerous inorganic and organic compounds, pH-regulation and neutralization of process streams.

PT Asahimas Chemical (ASC) Chlorine (Cl2) is widely used in making many everyday products and essential for a healthy human life. It is vital for water disinfection for producing safe drinking water all over the world. Chlorine is an important chemical for water purification in water treatment plants. Chlorine in water is highly effective as a disinfectant against Escherichia coli and used to kill bacteria and other microbes in public swimming pools.Eighty-five percent of medicines either contain chlorine or use chlorine in the production process.Chlorine is also extensively used in the production of paper products, dyestuffs, textiles, petroleum products, antiseptics, insecticides, food, solvents, paints, plastics, and many other consumer products.

PT Asahimas Chemical (ASC) Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) is the organochloride with the formula CH2=CHCl. It is also called vinyl chloride monomer, or VCM. This colorless compound is an important industrial chemical mainly used to produce the polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Vinyl chloride is a chemical intermediate, not a final product and hence there are no end products that use vinyl chloride in its monomer form.

PT Asahimas Chemical (ASC) Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO) is formed when caustic soda (NaOH) and chlorine (Cl2) react. ASC delivers sodium hypochlorite to customers in the form of 10% solution.

PT Asahimas Chemical (ASC) Ethylene Dichloride (EDC) was once called Dutch oil in honor of the Dutch scientists who first synthesized this compound from ethylene and chlorine gasses in the late 18th century. Nowadays it is mainly used to produce vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), the major raw material for PVC production. It is also used as an intermediate for other organic chemical compounds and as a solvent.
