Chemtech is a techmaturgical technology combining machinery and chemicals, primarily used in Zaun as an alternative to Piltover's Hextech. It emerged as a necessity due to Zaun's limited access to hextech resources and the toxic environment of the undercity.

Notable users include:

• Jinx - Powers her explosive devices
• Singed - Designer of numerous chemtech devices
• Sevika - Uses shimmer-powered mechanical prosthetic arm
• Renata Glasc - Head of Glasc Industries, specializing in chemtech-based products
• Warwick - Chemically-altered human with chemtech augmentations
• Urgot - Advanced chemtech augmentation example
• Turbo Chemtanks - Shimmer-powered soldiers with enhanced capabilities

Properties and Characteristics:

• Harnesses chemical energy for mechanical power, light, and heat
• Accessible to general population, similar to hextech
• More unstable, toxic, and explosive than hextech
• Colors range from green to purple (purple indicating higher refinement)

Common Inventions:

• Chem-Bombs: Chemical-based explosives
• Chem-Burners: Long-range illumination and heating devices
• Esophilters: Breathing apparatus for toxic environments
• Turbo Chemtank: Shimmer-powered mechanical suit
• Chemtech Putrifier: Chemical weapon
• Various prosthetics and augmentations

Historical Development:

• Originated in early 900s AN
• Gained prominence during Piltover's hextech boom
• Became essential for Zaunite survival in toxic environments
• Led to rise of Chem-Barons and industrial growth
• Currently integral to Zaun's infrastructure and daily life

The technology represents Zaun's resilience and innovation, born from necessity and limited resources. Despite its dangers, chemtech remains crucial for survival in the undercity's harsh environment.
