Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid with an 18 carbon chain, and can be derived from both vegetable and tallow sources. Stearic acid and its derivatives are commonly used as components of cosmetic, food, and industrial products. Esters derived from stearic acid are found in many soaps and detergents, and stearic acid salts are often... Read more »
Sodium Tolyltriazole, a liquid known commonly as TT-50, is used as a corrosion inhibitor for metals such as silver, copper, zinc, lead, and nickel. TT-50 is also used in anti-rust oil (tallow) products, the gas phase corrosion inhibitor of copper and copper alloy, a lubricant additive, cooling tower systems, and auto antifreeze. One reason for... Read more »
ChemCeed is proud to offer Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). This product is an anionic surfactant which gives it properties needed in detergents. Its initial use was in high concentrations in products such as degreasers and industrial cleaners. Today it is also used at lower concentrations found in many common household pharmaceutical products such as shampoos,... Read more »
Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs) are a versatile chemical for formulating in a wide variety of manufacturing industries, from cosmetics to plastics. The properties of PEGs make them useful for enhancing solvency, lubricity, and hygroscopicity. While useful in production processes as mold release agents, lubricants, and anti-static process aids, PEGs are also chemical intermediates in the production... Read more »
Linear 911P is a linear C9, C10 and C11 phthalate plasticizer produced through esterification of mixed C911 alcohol and Phthalic Anhydride. It is used as a primary plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and copolymer resin applications where good low temperature flexibility is required, including outdoor applications such as vinyl coated fabric, vinyl roofing, or wire...

Whether you call it glycerin, glycerine or glycerol, odds are you have ingested or used it at some point today. Glycerin is a simple sugar alcohol compound used in a vast number of products and applications. It can be synthesized or derived from plants and animals and finds uses as diverse as toothpastes to precursors... Read more »
ChemCeed offers a line of high purity fatty alcohols with chain lengths ranging from C6 to C10. These linear alcohols are insoluble in water, but soluble in alcohols, ether and benzene. With both domestic and imported sources, ChemCeed offers petrochemical-based as well as naturally derived fatty alcohols. These alcohols have a variety of applications such... Read more »
Ethanol is a consumable alcohol most often produced from fermentation of corn or other grain feedstocks. In the US, ethanol sold in its pure form is regulated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and is subjected to a Federal Excise Tax. To avoid paying the steep Excise Tax, some users opt for a... Read more »
Although majority of plasticizers are used in flexible PVC applications, a significant amount of plasticizers are used for elastomer applications. Plasticizers can be added to elastomers for various reasons: increasing softness or flexibility, lowering the glass transition temperature, reducing crystallization, increasing dispersion, or lowering the cost of the compound. Common plasticizers used in elastomer compounds... Read more »
Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESO) is produced from one of the most readily available and lowest-cost vegetable oils in the world. ESO is produced through the oxidation of high iodine value unsaturated soybean oil with hydrogen peroxide and organic acids such as acetic acid or formic acid. ESO is primarily used as a co-plasticizer for flexible... Read more »
