- Description: Great Lakes Chemical has tested the waters of change. The company has restructured to focus on its core specialty chemicals business, which includes polymer additives (flame retardants, antioxidants, and UV absorbers), water-treatment chemicals (biocides and algicides), and performance chemicals (bromine and fluorine). The company's customers include computer and electronics makers, drug companies, and pool-supply stores, with non-US sales accounting for about one-third of sales.
