One chemical commodity is transformed into another
Ethanol+Acetic acid = Ethyl acetate
Acetic acid → Acetyl chloride
Acetic acid → Monochloroacetic Acid
Acetic acid+ammonia = acetamide → Acetonitrile
This we can call as Acetic acid cluster
For Ibuprofen manufacturing, inhouse products are
Isobutyl benzene, Acetyl chloride, Monochloroacetic Acid & Acetic acid
Everything!
No other competitor has such capability
