The Right Chemicals for Your Applications

Calcium carbonate CAS#471-34-1

Calcium carbonate<br/>powdered; precipitated grades<br/><br/>Calcium carbonate is a mineral raw material associated with limestone, marble and chalk. It is nearly insoluble in water and alcohol and is supplied in powdered or precipitated forms with differing particle characteristics. Applications include cement, mortar, glass and lime manufacture, along with filler use in paper, paints, plastics, adhesives and sealants. Selected grades also serve formulation roles in cosmetics and food products.

Caprolactam CAS#105-60-2

Caprolactam<br/>ε-Caprolactam<br/>white flaky solid; molten state<br/><br/>Caprolactam is a white, flaky solid that dissolves readily in water and can also be handled in molten form. Also known as epsilon-caprolactam, it is a principal monomer for polycaprolactam and polyamide fibers used in carpets, apparel, textiles and tire materials. Other applications include polymer solvents, coatings, plasticizer formulations and cross-linking functions in polyurethane synthesis.

Copper(II) sulfate CAS#7758-98-7

Copper(II) sulfate<br/>blue vitriol<br/>CuSO₄<br/>greenish-white crystalline solid (anhydrous); blue powder, granules or ultramarine crystals (pentahydrate)<br/><br/>Copper(II) sulfate is an inorganic copper salt whose appearance depends on hydration. The anhydrous material is pale to grayish white, whereas the pentahydrate forms blue crystals; moisture converts the anhydrous salt toward its hydrated form. It dissolves in water to give blue, generally acidic solutions. Applications include electroplating, mineral flotation, chemical synthesis and laboratory work, with the supplied hydration state requiring confirmation.

Epichlorohydrin CAS#106-89-8

Epichlorohydrin<br/><br/>Epichlorohydrin is a reactive organochlorine epoxide used as an industrial intermediate and solvent. Its chemistry supports the manufacture of epoxy resins, glycerol, elastomers and specialty chemicals. Typical downstream applications include coatings, adhesives and insulation materials. It also serves as a cross-linking reagent in biochemical processing, including chromatography resin manufacture, and as an intermediate for surfactants and other fine chemicals.

Ferric chloride CAS#7705-08-0

Ferric chloride<br/>FeCl₃<br/>black-brown hexagonal crystal<br/><br/>Ferric chloride is a dark, crystalline iron salt with distinctive red transmitted-light and green reflected-light appearances. It dissolves in water and numerous organic solvents, supporting varied chemical-processing applications. Typical uses include water treatment, textile mordanting, printing etching and pigment manufacture. It also serves as an organic synthesis catalyst, chlorinating reagent, mining leaching agent and precursor for other iron salts.

Ferrous sulfate CAS#7720-78-7

Ferrous sulfate<br/>green vitriol<br/>iron(II) sulfate<br/>FeSO₄·7H₂O<br/>green crystals (heptahydrate)<br/><br/>Ferrous sulfate is a water-soluble iron salt encountered in several hydration states. The heptahydrate, traditionally called green vitriol, forms green crystals and changes hydration state on heating. Applications include iron-source ingredients for food fortification and supplement formulations, as well as manufacture of iron compounds and sulfur-containing industrial chemicals. Hydrated and dried forms should be distinguished when selecting material for a formulation.

Furaneol CAS#3658-77-3

Furaneol<br/>2,5-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone<br/><br/>Furaneol is a furanone flavor compound naturally associated with strawberries and other fruits. Its sweet, strawberry-like aroma makes it useful in flavor and fragrance composition, including meat essence blends. The molecule contains hydroxy and carbonyl functionality, and it can originate through Maillard chemistry or biological production by plants and microorganisms, supporting several routes to this aroma ingredient.

Glycine CAS#56-40-6

Glycine<br/>Gly<br/>G<br/>colorless crystals<br/><br/>Glycine is the smallest protein-forming amino acid and differs from most amino acids in being non-chiral. It forms colorless crystals with a sweet taste, and its minimal side chain contributes flexibility within protein structures. Typical uses include biochemical work and food or pharmaceutical formulation. Technical and pharmaceutical grades serve different requirements and should be selected according to the intended application.

Glyphosate CAS#1071-83-6

Glyphosate<br/><br/>Glyphosate is a systemic herbicidal ingredient used in non-selective, post-emergence weed-management formulations. Its application profile covers grasses, broadleaf weeds, sedges and woody vegetation in agricultural and forestry settings. Typical uses include weed management in orchards, tea gardens, rubber plantations and crop-rotation land. Product selection and permitted application depend on the particular formulation and its authorized agricultural use.

Isobutylbenzene CAS#538-93-2

Isobutylbenzene<br/>C₁₀H₁₄<br/>colorless liquid<br/><br/>Isobutylbenzene is a colorless, flammable aromatic hydrocarbon with a characteristic sweet odor. It is used as an intermediate in ibuprofen manufacture and in perfume-related synthesis. The compound also has a documented research role as an internal standard in studies of petunia pigmentation and floral scent, connecting its industrial aromatic chemistry with specialized analytical work on plant-derived compounds.

Magnesium Stearate CAS#557-04-0

Magnesium Stearate<br/>E470b<br/><br/>Magnesium stearate is a hydrophobic formulation additive valued for its lubricating and release properties. It is widely used during tablet and capsule manufacture as a lubricant and anti-adherent. Other functions include emulsification, binding, thickening, anticaking and antifoaming in suitable food and pharmaceutical formulations. Animal-derived and vegetable-derived grades are available, making origin an additional consideration during material selection.

Magnesium sulfate anhydrous CAS#7487-88-9

Magnesium sulfate anhydrous<br/>bitter sulfur<br/>bitter salt<br/>Epsom salt<br/>MgSO₄<br/>colorless/white crystals or powder<br/><br/>Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is an odorless magnesium salt supplied as white or colorless crystals or powder. It dissolves readily in water and absorbs moisture, characteristics that distinguish its handling behavior from a fully hydrated material. Documented applications include pharmaceutical processing and printing or dyeing operations. Its anhydrous identity should be retained when selecting material rather than treating hydrated magnesium sulfate forms as equivalent.
