1 INTRODUCTION The existence of a consolidated industrial park, with large, medium and small size enterprises, combined with the availability of raw materials, basic supplies and infrastructure facilities, makes the Industrial Complex of Camaçari a place conducive to new investments. Allied to this, it is worth noting the strength of the State of Bahia as to the availability of mineral resources, such as oil, gas, chromium, vanadium, nickel, iron, magnesium, among other renewable resources, such as cultivated forests, and large areas available for the production of food, biofuels and alternative raw materials for petrochemistry. In Section II of this Guide, we present, by way of example, a number of opportunities for entrepreneurs interested in investing in the Pole or Complex, carefully identified based on the needs of consolidation and expansion of the existing productive chains, or even the feasibility of manufacturing new products to meet traditional or emerging markets. The opportunities are described in product data sheets, contemplating the following production segments: petrochemicals, inorganic products, fertilizers, metallurgy, pulp and paper, auto parts, among others. Each data sheet contains information on the products, market applications, markets and availability of raw materials. The objective is to facilitate the decision - making process of the entrepreneur who will certainly find in Bahia, specifically in the Industrial Pole of Camaçari or in its area of influence, the ideal conditions to invest and expand his business horizon and, thus, contribute to the integrated development of Bahia and our country. RUBBER SBR 1. PRODUCT / PRODUCT FAMILY The styrene butadiene rubber, SBR, is the most widespread synthetic rubber in the world. Its basic composition is formed by monomers butadiene (CH2 = CH-CH = CH2) and styrene (C6H5-CH = CH2), being the styrene content of about 23.5%. There are, however, SBR rubber with styrene content of 40 to 85%. As the content of styrene increases, the product of polymerization (SBR) takes on more of the characteristic of thermoplastic product. The advantages of SBR rubber in relation to natural rubber are: Better resistance to abrasion Better resistance to high temperatures (100 C) Better resistance to aging;

2 Less flexibility and elasticity at low temperatures (up to -50 C); Hardening at high temperatures; Lower permeability to gas. 2.

5 Cumene is primarily used for the production of phenol and acetone, its reaction by-products. Both are important petrochemical products with many uses in the chemical and polymer industries. The demand for phenol in the polycarbonate producing industry is increasing due to the expansion of applications of compounds of polycarbonates in electronics, in the health area and automobile industries. Phenol, in its varying degrees of purity, is used for production of bisphenol-a, which is used in the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonates (33% of the phenol produced), phenolic resins for the manufacture of materials such as plywood (approximately 30% of the phenol produced), and of caprolactam, the raw material for nylon-6 (14%). 12.

6 PRODUCT / PRODUCT FAMILY PHENOL Phenol is the common name of hydroxybenzene, C6H5OH, and belongs to the class of compounds commonly referred to as phenols, containing one or more hydroxyl groups attached to an aromatic ring. Phenol can also be called phenic acid, phenilic acid, phenyl hydroxide acid, or oxybenzone. The oxidation of cumene is the main trade route in process of obtaining synthetic phenol, representing more than 95% of the phenol produced in the world. The rest of the synthetic phenol is produced by oxidation of toluene through the route using benzoic acid. Other processes, including production of benzene by way of cyclohexane, benzene sulfonation, chlorination of benzene and oxychlorination of benzene, have also been used in the manufacture of phenol. 16. MARKET APPLICATIONS Phenols are found in several practical applications, such as: Disinfectants (phenols and cresols); Preparation of resins and polymers; Preparation of picric acid, used in the preparation of explosives; Synthesis of aspirin and other pharmaceutical drugs; Production of hydroquinone.
