Methylisobutylcarbinol (MIBC)
- MlBC is widely used as a flotation agent in the extraction of
- ores such as copper and molybdenum sulphide, as well as coal.
- It is often used as a "foaming agent" in the mineral flotation process.
- It is also used in the electronics industry in the manufacture of semiconductors.
- It is used in the manufacture of lubricating oil additives.
- It is a precursor of some plasticisers.
- Used as a solvent for ethylcellulose, oils, waxes, dyes and other natural resins.
Phosphorus pentasulphide (PPS)
- It is an intermediate product in the production of organophosphorus pesticides of technical quality.
- Used to produce phosphorus-based additives, such as zinc dithiophosphates (ZDDP), which are lubricant additives in engines and other equipment.
- Used in the manufacture of chemicals for the mining industry.
- Used in the manufacture of pesticides such as parathion and malathion, which are organophosphate compounds that kill insects and other pests.
- Used to produce polymers with a forbidden energy band, such as poly(isothianaftene), which are organic semiconductors that conduct electricity under certain conditions.
Trimethylcyclohexanone (TMC NONE)
- Pharmaceuticals: is an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical substances.
- Coatings and paints: used as a solvent for varnishes, polishes, paints, vinyl resins and other coatings. It promotes levelling, provides gloss and surface cleanliness.
- Polymers: is a monomer for speciality polycarbonate.
- Peroxides: used in the production of peroxides which serve as initiating agents for polymerisation.
Trimethylcyclohexanol (TMC NOL)
- Used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals.
- Included in PVC and other polymer inks and additives.
- Used as a precursor of the vasodilator cyclandelate, a homosalate of the sunscreen component and a nerve agent
- OM. Can be synthesised by hydrogenation of isophorone.
- Also used in perfumes (FEMA 3964) and in the preparation of derivatives of cosmetic use such as acetates and salicylates
PRAPHOS FR-100/103 (ammonium polyphosphate)
- Ammonium polyphosphate is used in various industries such as food additives, emulsifiers and fertilisers.
- Tayuke is a flame retardant with multiple applications: it is used in the production of paints and coatings and is also incorporated into various polymers.
- For example, it is used as a flame retardant in polyolefins, especially polypropylene, as well as in thermosetting materials such as unsaturated polyesters and gel coatings, epoxy resins and* polyurethane moulded samples.
