Aral Chemicals
Aral Chemicals was established in 1998 as a partnership between two of Turkey’s leading research engineers. The company focused on fine chemicals, especially the organic peroxide initiators and catalysts for the petrochemical complexes such as LDPE, PS, PVC and other polymers. R&D was undertaken to develop a proprietary process for local organic initiator production.
By 2005, Aral Chemicals developed its first process for the production of organic peroxide initiators, which were utilised in a major Turkish petrochemical complex.
In 2007 Aral Chemicals opened its own production plant in Tuzla, Istanbul. Today, the plant has produced several different types of special initiators for many of the leading petrochemical complexes in the region.
As a specialist producer with research and development at the heart of its DNA, Aral Chemicals has the ability to invest in product development, in-house production and consistent and timely delivery, integrating client technical support, to successfully serve its petrochemical customers.
