Summary
Newcastle Chemicals was formed in 1940 as a joint venture with BHP at Newcastle, New South Wales (a major steel producing centre) to manufacture ammonium chloride, hydrochloric acid, b-naphthol and phthalic anhydride and its esters. The plant no longer operates and the phthalic anhydride is produced by ICI at Rhodes (formerly CSR Chemicals). Taken from: http://www.chemlink.com.au/orica_hist.htm (2006).
