Products in Aromatics: Coatings

Cepsa Chemicals Phenol is a product derived from the splitting of cumene hydroperoxide with sulfuric acid. Cumene itself is obtained through the catalytic alkylation of benzene with propylene, utilizing a solid bed catalyst. The main application of phenol lies in the production of bisphenol A (BPA), which serves as an intermediate in the manufacturing of polycarbonate and epoxy resins. Phenol also plays a role in producing caprolactam in the Nylon 6 route and is utilized in various applications, including the construction industry for insulation, laminates, and coatings, as well as in disinfectants, medicinal products, food additives, and more.

Cepsa Chemicals Alpha Methylstyrene (AMS) is a colorless liquid organic chemical employed in the production of a wide range of styrenic polymers. AMS is the result of splitting cumene hydroperoxide with sulfuric acid. Cumene itself is obtained through the catalytic alkylation of benzene with propylene. AMS is primarily used in the manufacturing of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), a thermoplastic resin, and finds applications in various industries, including coatings, food, and cosmetics.

NextPhenol BC is a hydroxybenzene derived from certified secondary raw materials sourced from biomass waste. Despite its renewable origin, it maintains the same technical specifications as its fossil-based counterpart. It finds primary use in the production of BPA, an essential intermediate in the manufacture of polycarbonate and epoxy resins. It is also utilized in the production of caprolactam for nylon 6 and in the production of phenolic resins. Its versatile applications range from insulation and coatings to pharmaceuticals, disinfectants, and even food additives.

Cepsa Chemicals Phenol 90% is a water-diluted form of phenol with a 10% water content. Pure phenol is generated through the decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide using sulfuric acid. Cumene, in turn, is produced by the catalytic alkylation of benzene with propylene. Phenol plays a pivotal role in the production of bisphenol A (BPA), serving as an intermediate in the manufacturing of polycarbonate and epoxy resins. Additionally, phenol is employed in the synthesis of caprolactam within the Nylon 6 production pathway.

NextPhenol C is a hydroxybenzene derived from certified secondary raw materials, including industrial waste such as plastic waste. Despite its sustainable origin, it maintains the same technical specifications as its fossil-based counterpart. The production plants for NextPhenol C are ISCC PLUS certified, guaranteeing a sustainable production process from the source of materials to delivery, utilizing the material-balance methodology. This certification system identifies and ensures the sustainability of the product's entire production journey.

NextPhenol R is a hydroxybenzene derived from certified renewable raw materials and maintains specifications equivalent to its fossil-based counterpart. This versatile substance finds its primary use in the production of BPA, a crucial intermediate in the manufacturing of polycarbonate and epoxy resins. Additionally, it plays a role in the production of caprolactam within the Nylon 6 pathway and in the production of phenolic resins. Its applications span a broad spectrum, encompassing insulation, coatings, pharmaceuticals, disinfectants, and even food additives.

Fielding Chemical Technologies Recycled Xylene is a recycled solvent used in thinner and cleaner blends for coatings.
