DI Basic Ester (DBE)

DI Basic Ester (DBE) at industrial-grade purity of 99% is a clear, colorless liquid mixture of dimethyl esters of adipic, glutaric, and succinic acids, primarily used as an effective, low-toxicity, and biodegradable solvent and coalescing agent in paints, coatings, and cleaning products. Its key properties include high boiling point, low volatility, excellent solvency for various resins, and a mild, fruity odor, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to more hazardous solvents.

 

Industrial Grade Furfuryl Alcohol

Industrial Grade Furfuryl Alcohol with ≥ 98% purity is a colorless to pale yellow liquid used for producing resins, adhesives, and coatings.

 

 

Industrial Grade Para-Tertiary Butylphenol (PTBP)

The provided query describes a product: industrial-grade para-tertiary-butylphenol (PTBP) in solid flake form with a reported crystallization point of 98-99°C. This specific industrial chemical, also known as 4-tert-butylphenol, has a CAS number of 98-54-4 and is primarily used in manufacturing resins, antioxidants, and other chemicals for applications in the plastics, rubber, and electronics industries

 

Paraformaldehyde

Industrial grade paraformaldehyde with a purity of 89.5-92.5% is a polymer of formaldehyde used as a source for formaldehyde in various industrial applications. It acts as a chemical intermediate for resins like urea-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde, a disinfectant and biocide, a crosslinking agent for polymers, and a fixative in biological research. The purity range indicates the percentage of active paraformaldehyde content, with the remaining portion being primarily water and impurities.

 

Octylphenol (OP)

Octylphenol (OP) is a type of alkylphenol used as a chemical intermediate to produce octylphenol ethoxylates (OPEs), which are nonionic surfactants in detergents, cleaners, and emulsifiers. The main commercial isomer, 4-tert-octylphenol (4-t-OP), is an endocrine disruptor with estrogenic activity, posing a risk to aquatic life and leading to its inclusion on the OSPAR List of Chemicals for Priority Action. 4-t-OP is also used in the manufacture of phenolic resins for use as tackifiers in the tire industry and in rubber bonding applications.
