Products in Catalyst Ingredients: Coatings Manufacturing

BTC Europe GmbH 2-Methylimidazole pure in its pure form, caters to industrial markets encompassing chemical and industrial manufacturing sectors. It finds application in adhesive manufacturing, agriculture, and coatings manufacturing. Available in a liquid physical form, this product boasts high purity as per labeling claims.

Lupragen® API - N-(3-Aminopropyl)imidazole is classified under the category of gel catalysts. It serves as a curing agent in epoxy coatings. Additionally, it is employed as a low VOC polyurethane catalyst for flexible foam and semi-rigid foam. Its chemical structure allows for seamless integration into polyurethane foam formulations.

Naxcat® MOD ACID 35 is an aromatic sulfonic acid, a blend of acids that offers a lower water concentration than Naxcat® MOD ACID. It has a TSA/XSA blend, promoting a low freezing temperature for easy handling while maintaining a high degree of acidity.

Naxcat® 330L is a high-purity TSA (toluenesulfonic acid) that is 65% active in water with low free sulfuric acid. It is designed to replace p-TSA monohydrate in many industrial catalysis applications. The product is manufactured using a proprietary purification technique that is not practiced elsewhere in the industry. Naxcat® 330L meets quality standards previously achieved only by using crystalline p-TSA, including low concentrations of sulfuric acid, iron, sulfones, and hydrocarbons. It offers ease of use with the relatively low cost of liquid mixed isomer TSA solutions. For reduced process time, labor savings, ease of use, and saved clean-up time, Naxcat® 330L allows for directly pumping catalyst into your reactor without the need to predissolve or preblend the compound, provided your catalysis needs allow it.

Naxcat® CSA-95 is a concentrated organic acid with excellent solvency, an advantage when working with organic chemicals in acid systems. It is used as an industrial catalyst, descaling agent, plating aid in electroplating, and as a raw material in the manufacturing of dyes and pigments. It is also an intermediate for the detergent industry, and a hydrotrope and coupler.

Naxcat® MOD ACID is a blend of TSA (toluenesulfonic acid) and XSA (xylene sulfonic acid) acids that promote low freezing temperatures for ease of handling, while maintaining a high degree of acidity. Aromatic sulfonic acids are produced by sulfonating aromatic compounds with sulfuric acid, SO3, or oleum. They are comparable in strength to mineral acids, such as sulfuric acid, but are particularly suitable for organic reactions where an inorganic, mineral acid may cause charring, oxidation, or an unwanted chemical reaction.

Naxcat® TSA-95 is the strongest of our organic acids and is the most suitable esterification catalyst for the production of phthalates and other plasticizers. Aromatic sulfonic acids are created by sulfonating aromatic compounds with sulfuric acid, SO3, or oleum. They are similar in strength to mineral acids like sulfuric acid, but they are particularly useful for organic reactions where an inorganic, mineral acid may cause charring, oxidation, or an unwanted chemical reaction.

Naxcat® P65D is a light-colored product, 65% active in water. It is the mildest of our acid products and is particularly useful in electroplating applications where color is important. It offers an advantage in such applications due to its light color.

Naxchem® DDB-502 is a linear alkylbenzene (C10-C13) sulfonation feedstock used for producing biodegradable surfactants and powder detergents. It is a key additive and building block that can be used in the manufacture of textiles, inks, dyes, plastics, agricultural chemicals, and metal plating.

Naxcat® XSA-90 is a strong, concentrated organic acid that is completely liquid. For ease of handling as compared with TSA-95. Naxcat® XSA-90 will not crystallize at low temperatures, offering acid strength and fluidity. It is comparable in strength to mineral acids such as sulfuric acid, but is especially suitable for organic reactions where an inorganic, mineral acid could cause charring, oxidation, or an unwanted chemical reaction.

Naxcat® p-TSA97 is the highest-purity sulfonic acid offered by Nease, with a para-isomer content of greater than 97%, making it ideal for applications where high purity is important, such as esterification and fine chemical reactions. It can be used as a "drop-in" replacement in formulations currently utilizing high purity p-TSA.

Naxcat® 326L is a high-purity TSA that is 65% active in water with low sulfones and is designed to replace p-TSA, monohydrate, in many industrial catalysis applications. It is manufactured using a proprietary purification technique and meets quality standards previously attained only by using crystalline p-TSA with low concentrations of iron, sulfur, and hydrocarbons. Combining ease of use with the relatively low cost of liquid mixed isomer TSA solutions, Naxcat® 326L offers direct pumping of catalyst into the reactor without the need to predissolve or preblend the compound, resulting in reduced process time, labor savings, ease of use, and saved clean-up time.

FASCAT® 4210 is a white crystalline solid which is an intermediate for producing dibutyltin compounds.
