COSSTIC SODA
Caustic soda is one of the common names for sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as lye. Its common name derives from its chemical identity as sodium hydrate and because it is caustic or corrosive. In its pure form, caustic soda is a waxy, white solid. Easily absorbs water and forms aqueous solutions.
Caustic soda is well known for its paint stripping properties. It allows layers of paint or varnish to be removed in the shortest possible time and with the least fatigue. We can use it as a solvent-based paint remover. Caustic soda is an excellent stripper for wood and metals.
ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL
Isopropyl alcohol is a colorless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odor. As an isopropyl group attached to a hydroxyl group, it is the simplest example of a secondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon atom is attached to two other carbon atoms. It is a structural isomer of 1-propanol and ethyl methyl ether.
This chemical has different names in different fields, including
Commercial Alcohol
Therapy Disinfectant

FISCHER-TROPSCH CANDLE
Fischer Tropsch wax is a methylene polymer, a hydrocarbon synthesis gas or natural gas synthesis of alkane polymers, based on cheap raw materials of coal chemical quality for synthesis, mainly iron-based or cobalt-based, compared to the price of crude oil.
The product range includes high melting point waxes used as performance additives in many specialized applications and medium melting point waxes used in applications similar to paraffin waxes.
High melting point FT waxes have a unique combination of high melting point, low viscosity and hardness even at elevated temperatures, which provides superior performance in applications such as hot melt adhesives (HMA), printing inks and coatings, bitumen modification, polymers, etc. These products are often used in combination with lower melting point microcrystalline and paraffin waxes.
Medium melt FT waxes are typically used as an alternative to petroleum waxes and exhibit superior properties in a range of applications such as waterproofing construction boards.
METHYL ACETATE
Methyl acetate (CH3COOCH3) is an ester that is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant odor similar to glue. Soluble in most organic solvents, but relatively soluble in water. It is a strong solvent that dissolves a wide range of resins.
Since methyl acetate is a solvent with a high evaporation rate, it is used in the production of various quick-drying paints and wood coatings (varnishes), in industrial applications, etc. It is increasingly used in the production of paints and coatings.
BUTYL GLYCOL
It is a neutral, colorless and almost volatile chemical. Butyl glycol is available as a colorless liquid with an ether-like odor. The features of this product include the following:
- It absorbs moisture slightly.
- Miscible with water, alcohols, ethers, paraffin and aromatic hydrocarbons at room temperature.
The use of butyl glycol is dominated by the paint industry, which consumes about ‘of all BG produced. This is because it is a low-volatility solvent and can therefore both extend the drying times of coatings and improve their flow.
