Synthetic Organic Chemicals, 1988 

Summary Eleven sections showed an increase in production 

in 1988 over 1987. Flavor and perfume materials 

Combined production of all synthetic organic (162 million pounds) increased by 28.5 percent; 

chemicals and primary products from petroleum organic pigments (116 million pounds) increased 

and natural gas in 1988 was 387,659 million b y 23.4 percent; surface-active agents (7,316 

pounds^-an increase of 2.4 percent from the million pounds) increased by 16.7 percent; 

output in 1987 (which also included data on tars) plasticizers (2,300 million pounds) increased by 

(table 1). Sales of these materials in 1988, which 15#1 percent; miscellaneous end-use chemicals

production and sales of chemicals measured at increased by 9.9 percent, miscellaneous cyclic and 

several successive steps in the manufacturing acycli c chemicals (105,923 million pounds)

some duplication. During IVM-DO. tne total materials (63,536 million pounds) increased by 

output ot these products rose each year except for 6>8 percent; cyclic intermediates (58,405 million 

1985 (figure 1). During that period the output of p0Unds) increased by 5.8 percent; elastomer 

these products generally followed the trend of the (synthetic rubber) (4,907 million pounds)

In 1988, production of all synthetic organic sections, rubber processing chemicals (353 million 

chemicals, including cyclic intermediates and pounds) showed a decrease\ of 7.7 percent; 

finished products totaled 273,248 million pounds, medicinal chemicals (258 million pounds) 

or 8.0 percent more than the output in 1987. decreased 0.9 percent in 1988 from that in 19$7.

 Reported data are accepted In confidence and may not be published, or no data were reported.

 Statistics exclude production and sales of fatty amines. Statistics on fatty amines are Included In the section 

"Surface-Active Agents." 4

 The difference between the production reported here and that shown on the Preliminary Report on U.S. 

Production of Selected Organic Chemicals (including Synthetic Plastics and Resin Materials), 1988, results from a 

combination of incorrect reporting by some companies, end-of-year inventory adjustments, and rounding. 8
