Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a strong organic acid primarily used in chemistry as a solvent, catalyst, and reagent
Hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) is a crucial industrial chemical used primarily as a monomer for producing Nylon 6,6, which accounts for nearly 90% of its consumption. It is also essential for manufacturing polyurethanes (via HDI), epoxy curing agents, polyamide resins, and corrosion inhibitors for oil/water treatment
Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is a versatile monomer primarily used to produce polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) acrylic plastics, sheets, and resins (~75% of use). Its key applications include transparent, durable acrylic glass, automotive coatings, adhesives, dental prostheses, orthopedic bone cement, and industrial flooring. MMA is valued for its high transparency, UV stability

Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is a widely used, biodegradable, amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine. It is commonly used as a milder, natural alternative to harsh sulfates like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in personal care, cosmetic, and cleaning products
Alkyl polyglycol ethers are versatile nonionic surfactants and solvents used primarily for their excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in industrial, agricultural, and consumer products. Common applications include detergents, cleaning agents, textile processing, paints, and personal care products like shampoos. They are also utilized as antifoams, viscosity reducers, and in concrete admixtures
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is a synthetic, waxy, solid petrochemical. Its antioxidant properties have caused it to be widely used as a preservative in food, food packaging, animal feed, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, rubber, and petroleum products
Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a synthetic, fat-soluble antioxidant commonly used as a preservative to prevent oxidation, extending the shelf life of food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial products like rubber and fuel
Triethyl Citrate (TEC) is a versatile, non-toxic ester used as a plasticizer, solvent, emulsifier, and fixative in foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and inks, acting as a whipping aid in food, a fragrance fixative in perfumes, a film former in nail polish, and a softening agent in polymers
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is primarily used as a powerful industrial solvent for degreasing metals, removing oils, greases, and contaminants from parts before coating, plating, or painting, and as a chemical intermediate
Diphenylmethane Diisocyanate MDI MDI (Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate) is a key chemical used to make versatile polyurethane (PU) products, primarily rigid foams for insulation in buildings and appliances, but also flexible foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers (CASE), and durable synthetic fibers like spandex, finding use in construction, automotive parts, furniture, and footwear
Hexylene glycol is a versatile solvent, humectant, and emulsifier used across industries, notably in paints & coatings, cosmetics & personal care (for texture, hydration, stability in skin/hair products), pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications like antifreeze, hydraulic fluids, and oil/gas extraction, acting as a coupling agent and chemical intermediate
Ethyl Cellosolve Acetate (ECA) is a versatile, slow-evaporating glycol ether ester solvent used in coatings, paints, inks, and cleaners
Ethyl Cellosolve (2-ethoxyethanol) is a versatile solvent used across industries for its ability to dissolve oils, resins, and dyes, finding applications in paints & coatings, cleaning products, inks, textile/leather finishing, hydraulic fluids, and agricultural formulations, acting as a coalescing agent, coupling solvent, and additive for performance and stability
Butyl Cellosolve (2-Butoxyethanol) is a versatile solvent used in paints, cleaners, inks, and pesticides for its ability to dissolve grease, resins, and dyes, acting as a powerful cleaning agent, coalescent for coatings, and coupling agent for water-based systems.
