December 28th Petrochemical Day
December 28th Petrochemical Day. The date was chosen in honor of the beginning of the production of synthetic resins in Brazil, in 1957, when the first petrochemical factory in the country was founded. This industry had a significant impact on Brazilian economic development, especially in the chemical and industrial sector. The petrochemical sector covers the production of petroleum-derived products, such as plastics, fertilizers, detergents and other chemical compounds, which are essential for many areas of the economy, from the manufacture of consumer goods to the production of industrial materials.
