Synthesis Solutions
A salt of polyphosphoric acid and ammonia, which has various names depending on the company but can be generalized as Ammonium Polyphosphate 484 (APP 484). It has low water solubility and its largest use is as a highly efficient flame retardant. It can also be used as an emulsifier and fertilizer. Used as a flame retardant in paint and coatings and in a variety of polymers -- polyolefins and polypropylene, where APP is part of intumescent systems. Also used in thermosets where APP is used in unsaturated polyesters and gel coats, epoxies, and polyurethane castings (intumescent systems). Also applied to flame retard polyurethane foams.

Synthesis Solutions
Most methacrylic acid is used as an intermediate in the production of methacrylic acid esters, especially ethyl and higher methacrylates. These in turn are used as co-monomers to produce a variety of plastic products. MAA can also be used as a comonomer that adds functional properties to latex paint, adhesive, and textile formulations, as well as in reactive adhesives in which methacrylic acid monomer reacts to cure the adhesive, and in solid coatings and specialty polymers.
Monomer
Synthesis Solutions
MMA Monomer offers advantages as an additive in a wide range of copolymer-based products and is used in molding and extruded resins and extruded sheet (PMMA), in mineral surface composites, and coatings.
Monomer
Synthesis Solutions
Neopentyl Glycol can be used as an intermediate for both plasticizers and for synthetic lubricants. In most polyester resin formulations, it is used as the sole glycol component. It offers excellent thermal stability, weathering, and stain resistance.

Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is a tri-functional alcohol with a wide spectrum of applications in the chemical industry, e.g. for the synthesis of alkyd and polyester resins, synthetic lubricants, PU-foams, and lacquers or glues and adhesives. TMP is also used for the production of dyestuffs, pigments, paints, and silicone products. A chemical compound synthesized from the two-step reaction of butanol and formaldehyde and their product's synthesis with sodium hydroxide, is used to create Ethoxylated and propoxylated Trimethylolpropane (TMP) for the production of polyurethanes. TMP's largest use is as a precursor in the production of alkyd resins which produce coatings, followed by the production of allyl ethers for the production of high-gloss coatings and ion exchange resins. Applications include: Alkyd, polyester, and polyurethane synthesis; Crosslinking of coatings, adhesives and printing inks; TiO2 pigment dispersions; and Synthesis of rad-cure monomers.
