            How does the company manage changes in demand?

            Demand for most plastic and rubber products is closely linked to the US economy. Because most plastics and rubber products are intermediate components that go into final goods, demand rises or falls in tandem with manufacturing activity.

             

            How does the company protect itself from the changing costs of raw materials like oil?

              Sample Questions & Answers

              How does the company mitigate cyclical demand?

              Demand for industrial chemicals is subject to the cyclicality of heavy end-use markets, and therefore volatile. The automotive and construction industries, for example, can experience significant production declines during economic downturns.

               

              How does the company protect itself from fluctuating energy costs?

              Extracting and processing basic chemicals from raw materials typically requires large amounts of energy, usually in the form of heat. Many chemicals also use natural gas or petroleum as a raw material. Since energy costs can account for as much as...
