World Chemical Industries




World Chemical Industries are growing at present at a considerable rate after a slow down in the year 2000 and 2001. If we refer back to the origin of the World Chemical Industries we will be astonished by the fact that use of chemicals and Chemical Process started in 7000 B.C. In those early days of civilization, some artisans from Middle East refined Alkali and Limestone for producing glass. After them people from China invented black powder which was nothing but Chemical Explosive. In 1635, different chemicals were produced for tanning in Massachusetts.

But, the large scale World Chemical Industries with proper form and infrastructure came into existence in 19th century. The last half of 19th century experienced tremendous advancement in the field of Organic Chemistry which gave the World Chemical Industries massive boost. The World Chemical Industries started their journey of development in real terms.

In 1850, World Chemical Industries managed to produce synthetic dyes which were being used in the Textile Industries. In 1890, production of Sulphuric Acid, Caustic Soda and Chlorine started at a mass level by the World Chemical Industries. Then came two revolutionary Chemical Products. The first one was Rayon which was made from wood fiber and which changed the total scenario of Textile Industry. The second one's impact was even larger. It was Synthetic Fertilizers which led to Green Revolution in agriculture resulting in drastic improvement in agricultural crop yield.

In this way World Chemical Industries developed over the years and continued to contribute immensely to mankind.
