Background Dow Chemicals is the largest, by market position, ethylene and polyethylene producer in the world – having 7% of global polyethylene capacity by year end 1995. Why then would a company in this position be interested in purchasing Petroquimica Bahia Blanca (PBB), a roughly 20 year old petrochemical plant that produces ethylene and polyethylene, which is being privatized by the Argentine government? Simply put, the PBB plant provides Dow Chemicals the opportunity to expand on their leading global market position and become the dominant polyethylene producer in Latin America. First some background on the product under consideration. Polyethylene plastic is used in many forms, from milk jugs to grocery store bags, and is produced from ethylene.

The fact is that a high population also opens up a large pool of customers as well.
Introduction 1.1. Overview Acrylonitrile (AN), also known as vinyl cyanide (CH2=CH-C≡N), is a high volume commodity chemical with worldwide production of more than 10 billion pounds per year. Acrylonitrile is used as a monomer in the production of acrylic and modacrylic fibers, which accounts for approximately 50% of its global use. Acrylic fiber is used for clothing, carpeting and other fabrics and in the production of rugged plastics for automotive components, computers, appliances. Acrylic fiber is also used in the manufacture of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-base carbon fibers; which are increasingly important materials for lightweight, high-strength applications in aeronautics, automotive, engineering,
