The Chemical and Petrochemical Industry: Centralization, Foreignization and Monopoly in the Sub-branch of Industrial Gases
Between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, the industry of industrial and medicinal gases was born. This branch of the chemical industry produces, packages, distributes and markets gases such as oxygen, argon, nitrogen, air, helium, acetylene, hydrogen, car...

I28-R145-1776_oai2025-02-11 Arecco, Maximiliano 2020-06-30 Between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, the industry of industrial and medicinal gases was born. This branch of the chemical industry produces, packages, distributes and markets gases such as oxygen, argon, nitrogen, air, helium, acetylene, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. This industry has strategic importance as it supplies other industrial branches (oil, steel, metallurgy, refrigeration, food, soft drinks, construction) as well as hospitals and clinics (medical gases). Since the 1990s, this subsector is in the process of centralizing capital and changing the way it is produced and distributed. In this paper we analyze the characteristics of the chemical and petrochemical industry in general in Argentina and the implications of the process of centralization, internationalization, monopoly and change in the form of production and distribution of the industrial gases industry at a global and national level. Entre fines del siglo xix y principios del siglo xx nació la industria de gases industriales y medicinales. Esta rama de la industria química produce, envasa, distribuye y comercializa gases como el oxígeno, argón, nitrógeno, aire, helio, acetileno, hidrógeno, gas carbónico, etc. Esta industria tiene una importancia estratégica ya que abastece otras ramas industriales (petrolera, automotriz, siderúrgica, metalúrgica, frigorífica, alimenticia, bebidas gaseosas, construcción) además de hospitales y clínicas (gases medicinales). Esta subrama, desde la década del noventa, está en pleno proceso de centralización de capital y mutación en la forma de producción y distribución. En este trabajo analizamos las características de la industria química y petroquímica en general en Argentina y las implicancias del proceso de centralización, extranjerización, monopolio y cambio en la forma de producción y distribución de la industria de gases industriales a nivel global y nacional. text/html application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/1776 spa Centro de Estudios de Historia Económica Argentina y Latinoamericana (CEHEAL) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/1776/2506 https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/1776/2517 H-industria.

| description |
Between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, the industry of industrial and medicinal gases was born. This branch of the chemical industry produces, packages, distributes and markets gases such as oxygen, argon, nitrogen, air, helium, acetylene, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. This industry has strategic importance as it supplies other industrial branches (oil, steel, metallurgy, refrigeration, food, soft drinks, construction) as well as hospitals and clinics (medical gases). Since the 1990s, this subsector is in the process of centralizing capital and changing the way it is produced and distributed.
In this paper we analyze the characteristics of the chemical and petrochemical industry in general in Argentina and the implications of the process of centralization, internationalization, monopoly and change in the form of production and distribution of the industrial gases industry at a global and national level. |
