Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is a key intermediate to produce PVC resins.

FloraDyme® 1500 is a "1st pass" dimer acid derived from carefully selected vegetable-based raw materials. This product's composition is well-suited for applications that require minimal monomer acid content while maintaining the desired functionality of dimer acids, along with a lesser presence of trimer acids. FloraDyme 1500 finds utility in the production of both reactive and non-reactive polyamides, which are used in the formulation of inks, adhesives, and epoxy resins. Additionally, it is employed in various other applications such as synthetic lubricants, oil field drilling muds, alkyd resins, and corrosion inhibitors.

USI Chemical Silane USi-412 acts as an adhesion promoter for various mineral-filled polymers improving their mechanical and electrical properties, especially after exposure to moisture.

FloraDyme® 1100 is a distilled dimer acid that is produced from specific vegetable-based raw materials. This product has a high dimer acid content and a low color, making it ideal for various applications. FloraDyme® 1100 is commonly used in the production of reactive and non-reactive polyamides for inks, adhesives, and epoxy resins. It can also be utilized in synthetic lubricants, polyol esters, alkyd resins, and various personal care products.

PTSA stands for para toluene sulfonamide. It serves as intermediate in pharmaceuticals and in various chemical processes.

Methacrylic anhydride is a reactive monomer used for the preparation of different type of monomers under mild reaction conditions. It finds applications in light-curing coatings, cross-linked materials like synthetic resin. It acts as an intermediate for the preparation of fibers, resins and pharmaceuticals.

EDC is also used as an intermediate in the manufacture of other chlorinated or fluorinated compounds such as trichloroethane – these halogenated compounds are broadly in industry used as extraction solvents.

Styrene is the most used name of phenylethene, an organic compound and has the chemical formula C8H8.

BR-741D is a low-molecular—weight, difunctional, aliphatic polyester urethane acrylate that can be effectively formulated for adhesion to cold rolled steel, glass, PMMA, PET, PC, and stainless steel. The resulting hard and tough film makes an effective protective glossy coating which will be nonyellowing, abrasion resistant, and have good weatherability. This is the low-viscosity version of BR-741.

BRC-843SD1 is a difunctional, hydrophobic urethane acrylate which can be formulated to be used in heavy-duty industrial and commercial applications. The resulting tough film makes a functional, nonyellowing, protective single-coating that extends the substrates use-life. BRC-843SD1 is a softer and more flexible version of BRC-843. This oligomer is also tougher then BRC-843. The low water absorption and alkaline resistance make this oligomer perfect for specialty applications in the following industries: aerospace, appliance, automotive, electronic, and medical device.

Mosselman 12-hydroxystearic Acid (61790-39-4, 106-14-9) is a saturated fatty acid derived from hydrogenated castor oil. The hydroxyl groups are responsible for the unique properties and applications.

Mosselman Linseed Stand Oil 120 P (67746-08-1) is a heat bodied alkali refined linseed oil with a light color, minimum subsequent yellowing, excellent pigment wetting and dis- persing properties and good drying.
