Industrial Inorganic Chemicals

Industrial Inorganic Chemicals (SIC 2810) spans high-volume bases and acids such as chlor-alkali, sulfuric and hydrochloric acids, soda ash, titanium dioxide pigments, and industrial gases used in water treatment, petrochemicals, metals refining, construction materials, electronics, batteries, and agriculture. Customers include chemical processors, semiconductor fabs, battery and solar manufacturers, municipal utilities, pharmaceutical plants, and downstream consumer-goods producers that rely on tight purity specs and reliable logistics. Operators face energy and feedstock volatility, hazardous-material handling risks, and intense environmental oversight under EPA air, water, and hazardous waste rules, plus OSHA process safety mandates and emerging PFAS and carbon reporting requirements. In 2024-2025, the sector is shaped by decarbonization investments, chlorine and caustic demand from EV and solar supply chains, capacity rationalization in soda ash and pigments, growing specialty gases for advanced chips, and stricter emissions controls pushing process electrification and carbon capture pilots.
