The business of chemistry helps create the chemical products that make us safer

The chemical industry has helped us create products that make us safer - at home, at work, at play, on the road, even on the battlefield. These innovative chemical products were developed by 544000 American workers, and with the continuous progress of new technologies, our lives are safer and safer.

The following is a list of some chemical products, which are produced by the chemical industry and affect our daily life:

Plastic seat belts, child safety seats and airbags have saved countless lives on the road.

LED traffic lights, reflective signs and foam filled impact drums help us to be more secure.

Medical equipment, X-rays, blood bags and drugs saved lives in the emergency room.

Cyclists, skiers, hikers, climbers and other outdoor enthusiasts rely on CFRP equipment and safety equipment, from skis and boots to goggles and ropes.

Lightweight bulletproof vests have saved lives in law enforcement and on the battlefield.

MRes, packaged in plastic, deliver food safely to our soldiers on the battlefield and then heat themselves through chemical reactions.
