Products in Intermediates: High Hardness

POLYSORB® PS A is a solid pastille product with a monomer and intermediate function. It is known for its high purity, and its base chemical properties encompass heat resistance and high hardness. This product is primarily targeted at industrial markets and finds applications in chemical and industrial manufacturing, as well as resin manufacturing. The end uses for its base chemicals include plasticizers, polyols, and solvents.

STEPAN® MWA-560 HS is a diethylene glycol-phthalic anhydride-based modified polyester polyol that can exhibit hydrolysis resistance and good thermal stability. It can also exhibit a good hardness/flexibility balance, clarity, and low color. It can be used in metalworking formulations for improved lubrication properties. It shows improved lubrication by showing a reduced average scar when compared to the current industry standard.

STEPAN® MWA-570 HS is a diethylene glycol-phthalic anhydride-based modified polyester polyol that exhibits hydrolysis resistance and good thermal stability. It exhibits a good hardness/flexibility balance, clarity, and low color. It is used in metalworking formulations for improved lubrication properties and is a great option as a chlorinated paraffin replacement, either alone or with the addition of phosphate esters. It also shows improved lubrication by showing a reduced average scar when compared to the current industry standard.

Evonik DPTA serves as a versatile intermediate in various chemical synthesis processes. Its applications range from the manufacture of chelating agents used in household and industrial cleaning products to the production of hardeners utilized in epoxy resin formulations.
