[
Porto Alegre .] The company distributes petrochemicals and chemicals for the Central and South American markets. The oil company (which has a 23% share of the Brazilian fuel distribution market) operates a network of 3,350 Ipiranga branded gas stations. Its chemical products include polymers, process oils, resins, and solvents used by the adhesive, paint, and rubber industries. Gasoline and lubricant sales and profits have declined because of price gaps, fuel adulteration, and tax frauds.
