The Marl Chemical Park - Evonik's largest production site and one of the largest chemical sites in Germany.
Around 100 production plants are closely interlinked in terms of materials and energy and are operated around the clock for the most part.
The main focus of production at the Marl Chemical Park is the conversion of petrochemical raw materials such as benzene, ethylene, propylene, methanol and phenol into basic, fine and specialty chemicals - from C4 cut to downstream products, from chlorine electrolysis to PVC, from acetylene to tetrahydrofuran, from fatty alcohols and ethylene oxide to surfactants and from acrylic acid to butyl acrylate, to name just a few examples.
All these products can be found in everyday life. Whether wallpaper or paint, shampoo or hygiene products, latex mattresses or pharmaceuticals, components for car manufacturing and fuel additives as well as insulating materials for the construction industry - the product range is diverse. Even yoghurt and margarine cannot do without the powerful chemicals, nor can many sports articles.
