How Our Products Are Used
Our chemicals are used in a range of healthcare products and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
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 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. Allylamine finds versatile applications as a solvent and in organic synthesis. It plays a vital role in the synthesis of various products, including rubber, mercurial diuretics, sedatives, and antiseptics. Furthermore, it contributes to the production of ion-exchange resins, underlining its significance in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
AdvanSix Cyclohexylamine (MCHA)
AdvanSix Cyclohexylamine (MCHA) is a colorless, flammable liquid with a distinct fishy odor. It demonstrates solubility in water, ethanol, benzene, and ethyl acetate, remaining stable under recommended storage conditions. MCHA is a versatile chemical, serving as a valuable intermediate in the production of various organic compounds. Notably, it plays a crucial role in inhibiting corrosion in boiler feed water and finds application in the manufacturing of insecticides, plasticizers, dry-cleaning soaps, rubber chemicals, dye stuffs, and gas absorbents, making it a versatile and indispensable component across multiple industries. [ACGIH]
AdvanSix Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)
AdvanSix Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), also known as isopropanol or 2-propanol, is a colorless, flammable organic compound with a distinct alcoholic odor. It plays a pivotal role in the production of a diverse range of industrial and household chemicals and is a ubiquitous component in products like antiseptics, disinfectants, hand sanitizers, and detergents. IPA is frequently employed as a solvent, a chemical intermediate, a medical disinfectant, and finds extensive usage in laboratory applications due to its versatile properties and effectiveness.
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.
AdvanSix Phenol - High Purity Grade
High-purity phenol from AdvanSix is used for a variety of applications requiring exceptional quality and consistency. Common uses range from herbicides, pharmaceuticals, dyes and polycarbonates to automotive glazing, can coatings, adhesives, electronic insulators, and in phenolic resinsparts, optical media, glazing, can coatings, adhesives, electronic insulators, and in phenolic resins.
AdvanSix Tri-n-propylamine (ΤΡΑ)
AdvanSix Tri-n-propylamine (ΤΡΑ) is a colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor. It exhibits slight solubility in water and remains stable when stored according to recommended conditions. However, caution is warranted as it can ignite when heated or exposed to an ignition source. TPA is primarily employed in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes for research purposes and also finds utility as a solvent in various applications.
