Adhesives & Sealants
We supply the essential materials to make adhesives and sealants that stick and form strong barriers.
Our materials help improve the functionality of adhesive material as well as protective coatings and sealants. We make it possible for our customers to make medical tape that protects wounds, caulk and sealants used to keep homes and buildings insulated for energy efficiency and adhesives used in baby diapers, frozen food labels, automotive tapes and decals.
How Our Products Are Used
Our chemicals are found in a range of adhesives and sealants.
AdvanSix Acetone NF Grade
Acetone (also known as dimethyl ketone and 2-propanone) is a clear, colorless, low-boiling, flammable, volatile liquid characterized by rapid evaporation and a faintly aromatic, sweetish odor. It is readily miscible in most organic solvents and completely miscible, in all proportions, in water. Acetone is one of the simplest aliphatic ketones, and is an excellent solvent for a wide range of gums, resins, waxes, fats, greases, oils, dyestuffs and cellulosics. It is widely used as a chemical intermediate in the production of methyl isobutyl ketone and other solvents, and in the production of such important chemicals as bis-phenol-A and methyl methacrylate. It is also used in the manufacture of a wide variety of coatings and plastics
AdvanSix Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime (MEKO)
Methyl ethyl ketoxime (MEKO) is a high-efficiency anti-skinning agent used for air-drying paints, inks and coatings. It is also used to improve the shelf life of silicone adhesives and sealants, and the functionality of polyurethane coatings. MEKO is produced to meet the low moisture and high assay standards that formulators require.
EZ-Blox®
EZ-Blox® offers a safe, cost-effective and proven alternative to MEKO. It is designed to optimize the performance of alkyd-based paint systems by preventing a surface skin from forming when the product comes into contact with atmospheric oxygen. This, in turn, improves paint performance and reduces waste.
