A long, but worthy process for the best plastic. Some of the recycling steps has been left out of the flowchart, and here they are:
- Electrolysing Hydrofluoric Acid to recycle Fluorine you used, with Hydrogen as a bonus
- Electrolysing Hydrochloric Acid to recycle Chlorine, with more Hydrogen as a bonus
- 2b Toluene
- 6b Chlorine (Can be partially recycled)
- 2b Water
- 6b Fluorine (Can be recycled)
- 2b Benzene
- 2b Oxygen
- 2b Propene (Can be partially recycled)
- 2b Carbon Dioxide
- 12x Sodium Hydroxide Dust
- 2b Hydrogen
- 6b Hydrochloric Acid (Used for recycling)
- 2b Hydrofluoric Acid (Used for recycling)
- 2b Acetone (Used for recycling)
- 4b Water
- 2b Carbonic Acid
- 3x Carbon Dust
- 8x Sodium Fluoride Dust
- 9.8b PEEK
Chem Plant¶
Using PEEK to make PEEK, truly industry at its greatest. Inputs and outputs remain mostly the same, removing some trivial/useless ones. However, you will need to wait until

- Benzene
- Toluene
- Propene
- Oxygen
- PEEK
- Acetone
- Hydrogen
Uses of PEEK¶
PEEK is used as a sheet in both


Chemical Plant¶
The Chemical Plant, or Chem Plant for short, is quite a useful multiblock. Making a Chem Plant requires PEEK, as it is largely composed of PEEK Casing.
