KiON isn't the new low-budget, high-mileage car out of Detroit; it's an old high-performance polysilazane-based resin manufacturer north of Philadelphia. The company's resins are used in coatings, electronics, and ceramics, and by the defense industry. Polysilazane resins are intermediates composed of alternating silicon and nitrogen atoms. The company was established in 1987 as Commodore Polymer Technologies. Swiss specialty chemical company Clariant, looking to bolster its own polysilazane manufacturing operations, acquired KiON in early 2006 from previous owners Blum Technology Trust.

The company, which does most of its business in Japan, is made up of about 80 companies operating in Asia, Europe, and North America.

Kyocera Chemical's products are materially important. The company manufactures chemicals and chemical materials like epoxy resins, molding compounds, laminates, and insulating materials for electronics products such as semiconductors and printed circuit boards. Kyocera Chemical also makes insulating varnishes used in household appliances and the custom machines used to apply that varnish. Among its other products are molded casings used for finished electronics like PDAs and laptops. The company was formed as Toshiba Chemicals in 1974 and became a part of the Kyocera family in 2002. Many of the company's goods are used in Kyocera's own electronic devices.

La Seda de Barcelona has a PET project. Although long associated with manufacturing artificial silk, La Seda de Barcelona (Spanish for "the silk of Barcelona") has turned its attention toward the production of basic chemicals such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET, used to make plastic containers), PTA (purified terephthalic acid), polyester fibers, and polyamide yarns. The company also makes ingredients used in detergents (ethylene oxide) and antifreeze (glycols). Its PET unit makes up half of La Seda's business. Customers include members of the textile, food, paper, paint, and cosmetics industries. La Seda de Barcelona was founded in 1925.
