Tris(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate is used in the construction industry to reduce material shrinkage. It is also used as a plasticizer with an excellent flexibility at low temperatures and as a flame retardant in polymers (PVC, PUR, NBR and others). It is a carrier for pigments and dyes for the dying of polymers, an ingredient of cutting oils or release agents in the metal industry. In hydrogen peroxide synthesis it is used as a solvent. Important applications are:
- Metal working fluids
- Photo chemicals
- Plant protection products
- plastics (PVC, PUR)
- Winter tyres
Benzotriazole and Tolyltriazole are corrosion inhibitors. In household products they are used to protect silver. In photographic developer baths they prevent or minimize hazing on the film. Main applications are:
- Cooling fluids
- Anti-freeze fluids
- De-icing fluids
- Lubricants and brake fluids
- Paints and dyes
- Metal working fluids
Orange peel oil is used to scent household products, in organic wood protection and in varnish diluents. It is also a main ingredient of many solvents to remove labels. It is used in:
- fragrances
- detergents and maintenance products
- solvent based adhesives
- lubricants
- solvents
- construction materials
- wood protection products
- oil production
Monoisopropanolamine is used as an intermediate in the production of many substances, as stabilizer, solubilizer and corrosion inhibitor. It is used in:
- construction materials
- bitumen additives
- dyes, pigments
- optical brighteners
- plastics
- glues and adhesives
- plant protection products
- polymers
- silicon products
- textile waxes
- metal working fluids
- detergents and maintenance products
- wood protection formulations
- electric / electronic industry
- water treatment
- paper, textile and leather industry
Tartaric acid is used to make silk non-slip, but also in cement and plaster to retard setting. The ability of tartaric acid to build metal complexes leads to a number of possible applications like surface treatment of copper or brass articles or the cleaning of soils contaminated with heavy metals. Applications are:
- construction chemicals
- adhesives and sealants
- solvents
- plastics production
- electroplating
Glutaraldehyde is an intermediate in the production of some chemicals and is directly used in:
- Solvents for leather tanning
- Development of x-ray films
- Fixative for tissue in electron microscopy
- Crosslinker for plating of ELISA-plates
- Cosmetic products
Titanium dioxide is mainly used as a white pigment and is listed in the Color Index as C.I. Pigment White 6 or C.I. 77891. In technical applications it is used in:
- Paints and varnishes
- Construction materials
- Water treatment chemicals
- Textiles
- Paper production
- UV-blockers
- Polymers
- ceramic capacitors
- semiconductors
- detergents and maintenance products
- surface treatment
- Leather industry
Kimpigment iron oxides are qualitatively high-quality, inorganic pigments. They are insoluble in water and diluted acids and resistant to chemical influences, light and weather.
The color scale spreads from yellow over orange, red, brown to black, green and blueish shades. The colors are complemented by chrome oxide green.
The pigments are used in:
- Construction materials
- ceramics
- paints and varnishes
- plastics
- leather
- textiles
