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

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.
