CHEMICAL SPECIALITIES

1.- RAW MATERIALS FOR PROCESSES OF SYNTHESIS

In the Chemical industry are very much needed the intermediate ingredients to produce finished products. We count with highly specialized products for synthesis processes like oxidation and alquilation: strong bases, Glycidyl ethers, metal acetylacetonates, ionic liquids, cationization agents, alcohols and phase transfer catalysis.
Not only is for Pharmochemical industry, but also the application extends to electronics, catalysis, polymers and resins, Agrochemical and other markets that may require high purity capabilities.

2.- LINE OF STEARIC ACIDS

Stearic Acids provide structure, water repellency and lubricity properties to your finished products. They can be used in bar soaps, in paper chemicals, in the fabrication of candles and crayons, in the manufacture of solid AKDs and at the beginning of the vulcanization process for the fabrication of tires.

3.- PERSULFATES

Persulfates are key components in many industrial processes and commercial products. The polymer industry uses aqueous solutions of Persulfates as initiators in the polymerization of latex and synthetic rubber. The electronics industry considers sodium persulfate an efficient microetchant in the manufacture of printed circuit boards. The following examples further illustrate the chemical versatility of persulfates.

Plastics and Rubber. Ammonium, Potasium and Sodium persulfates are used as initiators for emulsion polymerization reactions in the preparation of acrylics, polyvinyl chlorides, polystyrenes and neoprene.

Structural Material. Persulfates are used as initiators in polymeric concrete formulations.

Inorganic Chemicals and Minerals. Persulfates are also initiators for the polymeric coating of graphite filaments.

Soil Stabilization. Ammonium persulfate is used as a curing agent in chemical grout systems used to stabilize soil near dams, tunnels and buildings.

Surface preparation. The oxidation power of persulfates is used to clean and microtech a variety of printed circuit board substrates. Persulfates are used to clean and mill aluminum, brass, copper and many other metal surfaces prior to plating or adhesive bonding. Also, persulfates are used to clean and activate carbon and charcoal, before and after, their use as absorbents.

Organic Synthesis. The pharmaceutical industry uses sodium persulfate as a reagent in the preparation of antibiotics.

Adhesives. Persulfates are used in the preparation of adhesive films and metal bonding adhesives.

Gas and Oil Production. In enhanced oil recovery, persulfates are used “down hole” for gel forming and breaking.

Inks, Pigments and Dispersants. Persulfates are used to graft substrates to polymers and in the preparation of dispersants for ink jetting and toner formulations.

Photography. Persulfates are used in many photographic applications, including bleaching solutions, solution regeneration, equipment cleaning and waste water treatment.

Pulp and Paper. Persulfates are used in the sizing of paper, preparation of binders and coatings and production of special papers.

Textiles. Ammonium and sodium persulfates are used in the desizing and bleaching of textiles and the development of dyestuffs.

Waste in swimming pools. Persulfates are used to oxidize non-filterable waste in swimming pools and other recreational water. They clarify water and prevent the formation of combined chlorine.

Environmental. Persulfates are very strong oxidants, have excellent shelf life when stored properly, and are economical to use. These properties make persulfates suitable for a variety of environmental applications, such as soil remediation and wastewater/groundwater clean up.
