Our Active Chemicals team in Asia-Pacific understands the local needs of the metal treatment and electro plating industry, agriculture, photographic development and other industrial processes when it comes to controlling metal ions. Our knowledge of chelating agents is second to none. Whatever the requirement, we are there to provide the support and service you require.
EnviometTM
EnviometTM is an effective chelant for metal ion
control. Transition metals can be kept in solution or transported
to where they are needed. EnviometTM is excellent at
moving metal ions and then biodegrades harmlessly minimizing the
environmental impact.
For example, in the agricultural market, EnviometTM can be used to control metal ion delivery in micronutrient applications as well as in certain pest and weed control formulations.
In electroless plating, metal ions such as Cu and Ni are required to be kept in solution prior to be being chemically reduced at a metal surface to deposit a controlled layer of metal.
Octachem
Our Octachem product range encompasses a technology platform based
upon PIBSA (polyisobutylene succinic anhydride) and its
derivatives. These chemicals have excellent emulsification and
dispersant properties and are stable at high temperatures. Typical
application areas for these Octachem products include explosive
emulsifiers and emulsifiers for metal cutting fluids.
