ChemMod® Reactive Diluents

We are one of the leading domestic producers of reactive diluents. All materials produced utilize our state of the art facilities.

[North America]/[]

ChemCure® Amidoamines

Amidoamines are less volatile and have less irritation potential than polyamines. They also offer lower viscosities, allowing for higher pigment loading and low VOC formulas. Additional features include good adhesion to concrete and adaptability to a wide range of working times.

ChemCure® Cycloaliphatic Amines

Modified cycloaliphatic amines from IPDA are one of the most commonly used curing agents and can be used for low VOC coatings with a fast cure rate, short pot life, and low temperature curing suitability.

[North America]/[]

ChemCure® Mannich Bases

Mannich bases are highly reactive curing agents because the accelerator is built in. They are good for low temperature cure and other challenging applications, such as damp, cold and even under water applications.

ChemCure® Modified Aliphatic Amines

Modified aliphatic amines produce coatings with low vapor pressure and more practical mixing ratios. They are engineered for targeted applications, such as chemical resistance, blush resistance, water spot resistance, adhesion, low color or combinations of these properties.

ChemCure® Polyamides

Unmodified polyamides produce coating layers that are much more open in terms of their chemical structure and are thus more flexible. They generally produce coatings with excellent adhesion, water resistance and flexibility.

ChemCure® Tertiary Amines

ChemCure® Tertiary amines can be used to speed cure times in epoxy systems.

Industrial Base Oils

Canola, soybean and linseed oils provide many advantages over mineral oils, including low volatile organic compound (VOC) content and low toxicity. Availability: North America

[North America]/[]

Agri-Pure® Lauric Oils

We offer coconut oils and palm kernel oils for industrial applications where excellent thermal and oxidative stability, as well as low volatility, is valued. Availability: Europe

[EMEA]/[]

Monounsaturated Oils

We offer rapeseed (canola) oil and hi-oleic sunflower oils for diverse industrial applications where biodegradability is desired. Availability: Europe

[EMEA]/[]

Polyunsaturated oils

We offer sunflower, soybean and linseed oils for industrial applications where reactivity with heat and oxygen are desired. Availability: Europe

Starches

Cargill is offering a wide range of native and modified starches. Native starches are used as a carbon source in fermentation processes. In addition starches play a role in stabilizing formulations of fermentation products and they can be used as a carrier for encapsulation or granulation of fermentation products

[EMEA, North America]/[]

Carrageenan

Carrageenans are derived from seaweed and are known for their thickening and gelling capabilities. They can also be used for controlling the viscosity of fermentation media and for stabilizing formulations of fermentation products.

[EMEA]/[]

Xanthan Gum

Xanthan can be used for controlling the viscosity of fermentation media and for stabilizing formulations of fermentation products.

[EMEA]/[]

Industrial Lecithin

Lecithin enhances the manufacture of oil-based emulsions, suspensions and dispersions and stabilizes these systems.
