You can use either name, chemical.mfg would be easier if you don't have a
full grasp on setting up a DNS zone. Chemical.com would cause less confusion
for internal users since you will be hosting a website and email locally,
and in the long run it will be easier to manage. If you are going to host
websites and email locally you will need a local zone for chemical.com so
you can access the sites by that name.
Keep in mind if you currently have an external website and mail server using
chemical.com, you will have to add records to access those sites.
If you are going to use exchange, using chemical.com will make that setup
easier since Exchange adopts the Active Directory domain name as its default
email domain. If you use chemical.mfg the Exchange setup will use that name
as the default domain for email. So you would still have to set exchange up
to accept mail for chemical.com.
