How Our Products Are Used

Our agricultural chemical solutions serve a variety of purposes on modern farms.

AdvanSix Allylamine (MALA)

 

AdvanSix Allylamine (MALA) is a colorless liquid characterized by a pungent ammonia-like odor. It possesses excellent solubility in water, ethanol, benzene, and ethyl acetate. While Allylamine remains stable under recommended storage conditions, it is important to note that it is highly flammable.

AdvanSix Di-n-propylamine (DPA)

 

AdvanSix Di-n-propylamine (DPA) is a colorless, flammable liquid with an ammonia-like odor. It exhibits solubility in water, ethanol, benzene, and ethyl acetate and maintains stability under recommended storage conditions. DPA serves as a key chemical intermediate and acts as a starting material for the synthesis of herbicidal products, including trifluralin, oryzalin, EPTC, and vernolate. Its role in herbicide production highlights its importance in the agricultural and chemical industries.

AdvanSix Diallylamine (DALA)

 

AdvanSix Diallylamine (DALA) is a colorless to yellow, flammable, and corrosive liquid that emits a pungent, ammonia-like odor. While it is soluble in ethanol, benzene, and ethyl acetate, it displays limited solubility in water. Under recommended storage conditions, DALA remains stable. This versatile chemical compound is commonly harnessed in the production of pharmaceuticals, resins, and paper. It serves as a crucial raw material for manufacturing various crop protection products.

AdvanSix Isopropylamine (ΜΙΡΑ)

 

AdvanSix Isopropylamine (ΜΙΡΑ) is a colorless, flammable, volatile liquid with an ammonia-like odor. It exhibits low solubility in water and maintains stability when stored under recommended conditions. MIPA serves as a fundamental building block in the production of various herbicides and pesticides, including atrazine, bentazon, glyphosate, imazapyr, ametryne, desmetryn, prometryn, pramitol, dipropetryn, propazine, fenamiphos, and iprodione.

AdvanSix N-Ethylmethallylamine (NEMALA)

 

AdvanSix N-Ethylmethallylamine (NEMALA) is a light yellow, flammable liquid with a pungent, ammonia-like odor. This chemical exhibits partial solubility in water and maintains stability when stored under recommended conditions. It is primarily utilized as an intermediate ingredient in herbicide formulations.

Nadone® HDR® Cyclohexanone

 

Nadone® HDR® cyclohexanone is ideal in applications that are sensitive to oxygen or peroxide. Key benefits include: uniform evaporation, minimal moisture content, low toxicity and ecotoxicity, low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and a good cleaning solvency. Applications range from agricultural pesticide formulations, paints and coatings to electronics, PVC adhesives and printing ink formulations.

Sulf-N® Ammonium Sulfate

 

AdvanSix Sulf-N® ammonium sulfate (21-0-0-24S) is a high-analysis fertilizer that provides efficient nitrogen and readily-available sulfur to crops. It is available in granular, standard, mid and soluble sizes. It reduces fertilizer applications—as it can be applied with other fertilizers—to fit short planting and growing windows and supports pre-plant, at-plant, topdress, sidedress and blend programs.
