Building & Construction
The building and construction industry relies on AdvanSix materials to make structures and infrastructure ranging from roads to roofs.
From floor coatings and carpet fibers to the insulation in walls and caulk around windows and fixtures, AdvanSix products are present throughout the buildings we occupy every day. Our chemicals also go into road coatings and other infrastructure, and the building industry puts our construction chemicals and construction adhesives to use on job sites.
How Our Products Are Used
Our chemicals are found in a range of building and construction applications.
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.
Aegis® PIR-MBM
Aegis® PIR-MBM resin from AdvanSix contains 100% post-industrial recycled (PIR) raw materials while providing the same top performance and processability as Aegis® MBM, its standard, non-recycled counterpart.
Aegis® PIR-H55ZI
Aegis® PIR-H55ZI resin from AdvanSix contains 100% post-industrial recycled (PIR) raw materials while providing the same top performance and processability as Aegis® H55ZI, its standard, non-recycled counterpart.
Aegis® MBM
Aegis® MBM is a terminated, non-delustered, bright medium dye, medium viscosity nylon 6 resin for carpet fiber and synthetic turf extrusion applications.
Aegis® H85WC01
Aegis® H85WC01 is a medium viscosity, heat stabilized, nylon 6 wire jacket compound providing excellent performance across the range of THHN, THWN and TFFN constructions.
Aegis® H8202NLB
Aegis® H8202NLB is an unfilled, low/medium viscosity, non-lubricated, nylon 6 homopolymer for compounding and injection molding applications.
Aegis® H55ZI
Aegis® H55ZI is an unterminated, medium viscosity, nylon 6 homopolymer well-suited for compounding, filament and carpet fiber applications.
Aegis® H55WCX
Aegis® H55WCX is a medium viscosity, heat stabilized, nylon 6 universal wire jacket compound providing excellent performance across the range of THHN, THWN and TFFN constructions.
Aegis® H55WC01
Aegis® H55WC01 is a medium viscosity, heat stabilized, nylon 6 universal wire jacket compound providing excellent performance across the range of THHN, THWN and TFFN constructions.
Aegis® H35ZI
Aegis® H35ZI is an unfilled, low viscosity, non-lubricated, nylon 6 homopolymer for compounding and injection molding applications.
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.
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, mid and soluble sizes.
