Emerging Revenue Streams: The appearance of Compounding and solutions and Advanced polymers starting in 2016 indicates a shift in revenue composition. Compounding and solutions grew consistently from $1,910 million in 2016 to $3,091 million in 2018, while Advanced polymers grew from $692 million to $930 million over the same period.
Intermediate and Specialty Chemicals: Both Oxyfuels and related products and Intermediate chemicals followed the broader organizational trend of contraction followed by growth. Oxyfuels revenues declined from $3,813 million to $2,676 million before rising to $3,399 million, while Intermediate chemicals moved from $3,381 million to $2,483 million and then recovered to $3,416 million.
