LANXESS Corporation's synthetic rubber products are used by the tire, auto, and industrial goods industries, while its plastics are marketed toward makers of medical and electronic communications products. LANXESS Corp.'s largest unit is its performance chemicals division, which supplies the textiles, pharmaceutical, and automobile industries, among others. The company's other units are perormance polymers (the synthetic rubber operations) and advanced intermediates (basic and fine chemicals). Subsidiaries include Rhein Chemie (rubber chemicals), Sybron Chemicals (ion exchange resins), and Saltigo (fine, agro-, and pharmaceutical chemicals). Parent company LANXESS AG was spun off from Bayer in 2004.

Because you're not likely to be creating ion exchange resins out of your garage, LANXESS Sybron Chemicals does the job for you. LANXESS bought Sybron in 2000 and added its own ion exchange resins business to form one company that can serve both the industrial and domestic water treatment sectors. In addition to being used for domestic water softening and in waste water treatment, Sybron's products are used in catalysis and in processing specialty chemicals (removing heavy and precious metals like brine and mercury). They can also be used in sweetener and food processing to remove unwanted properties (minerals, odors, acids, etc.).

Lenzing AG manufactures cellulose fibers made from beech wood. The company produces about 525,000 tons of textile fibers and nonwoven fibers every year. Its fibers are sold to the textile industry for use in apparel, upholstery, fire hoses, and US military uniforms. Nonwoven fibers are used to make cleaning pads, and wound care and feminine products. Lenzing's plastics division makes thermoplastics, PTFE fibers (Teflon), polymer fibers such as acrylic, and carbon fibers. The company traces its roots back to 1892 as a paper mill in Lenzing, Austria. Lenzing is 85% owned by B&C Holding.

Lucite International has its roots firmly planted in plastics. The top producer of acrylic monomers (ahead of Rohm and Haas, Degussa, and Asahi Kasei) with quarter-share of the world market, Lucite International has a history that dates back to the discovery of methyl methacrylate (MMA) by an ICI chemist in 1934 and DuPont's opening of the first US plant three years later. MMA is the main building block of acrylic materials. The company's brand names include Lucite, Perspex, and Lucite Tufcoat. Charterhouse Capital, which had owned 78% of Lucite, first put it up for sale in 2006, meeting with no success. It finally managed to bring off a sale to Mitsubishi Rayon two years later.
