Sells petroleum-performance additives through Afton Chemical and Ethyl, then added specialty materials through AMPAC and Calca. The core additives business has a global footprint, while AMPAC provides materials for solid rocket motors used in space-launch and military-defense applications.
Petroleum additives are the core business, conducted through Afton Chemical and Ethyl. The global segment includes petroleum-performance additives and antiknock operations; past additives acquisitions broadened its research, testing, product lines, and manufacturing-support footprint. Current market softness and global economic uncertainty affect the business.
Specialty materials broaden the portfolio through AMPAC and Calca. AMPAC supplies performance additives for solid rocket motors used in space launch and military defense, as well as Halotron BrX fire-extinguishing agent; Calca is managed separately. Recent capacity expansion and supply-chain strengthening shape the newer business alongside petroleum additives.
