Industrial Chemicals for Union Pacific
Posted by ERail on Saturday, February 13, 2016 4:24 PM

28% of 2015 Q4 UP chemical carloads were from "Industrial Chemicals."  Being an outsider to the chemical industry, I'm having trouble learning about this area.  I want to know more about this business as a shareholder.

 

Investor relations told me that the industrial chemicals group is made up of the following:

1. chlor-alkali

2. paints/coatings

3. nylons/fibers

4. detergents

5. resins

6. herbicides

7. industrial gases

8. water treatment

 

Does anyone have some info and examples regarding the 8 groups above?  What are some good sources one can read about the above?

Thanks.
