# Polycarbonate: Relationships

Source page: https://www.materialinsights.org/chemicals/polycarbonate/links/

Every element and industry that Polycarbonate is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.

- [Bisphenol A](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/bisphenol-a-and-polycarbonate/): Polycarbonate is the largest use of bisphenol A, nearly two-thirds of world demand in 2020, so polycarbonate demand and new polycarbonate lines decide BPA run rates and prices. Both production routes start from BPA; the interfacial route also needs phosgene, which ties the chain to chlorine. *(researched)*
- [Crude oil](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/crude-oil-and-polycarbonate/): Crude oil is a raw material for polycarbonate; their prices have moved together.
