Nylon Intermediates and Polymer
INVISTA's ADI-PURE® adipic acid, (hexanedioic acid) is a crystalline, white powder that exhibits typical carboxylic acid chemistry. When combined with HMD, ADI-PURE® adipic acid can produce nylon 6,6 polymer. The high purity, excellent uniformity, and consistent end-use performance of ADI-PURE® adipic acid also make it a valuable intermediate in a wide range of applications such as polyurethanes (polyester polyols), epoxy curing agents and plasticizers, solvents, lubricants, electronics, soil conditioners, flue gas desulfurization scrubbers and cleaning aids. Engineering Polymers As the core of the technology and operating infrastructure, INVISTA has made significant commitments and investments in the nylon business chain. Additionally, INVISTA can help customers take advantage of the excellent dimensional stability and higher thermal properties of PET Engineering Polymers. INVISTA Engineering Polymers continues to develop creative solutions to meet the needs of its customers in markets such as automotive, electrical, consumer electronics and sporting goods.
INVISTA DBE® dibasic ester solvents combine excellent solvency power with a wide range of properties. Non-flammable, readily biodegradable and non-corrosive with a mild, fruity odor, the DBE dibasic esters can function as solvents, ingredients and chemical intermediates. Typical applications include adhesives, chemical grouting, cleaning products, foundry core binders, pigments, paints and coatings, and paint strippers. DBA dibasic acid is an organic acid that can dramatically improve SO2 scrubbing efficiency for flue gas desulfurization in coal-fired power plants. This means that DBA can help reduce the purchases of emission allowances, generate a new revenue stream through selling excess allowances, reduce energy consumption and facilitate a flexible fuel strategy at power utilities. DYTEK® amines, nitriles-, and boron-based solutions are multifunctional "idea intermediates" named for the unique possibilities they bring to solving tough synthesis challenges. Application areas include life sciences, construction, lubricants, coatings and water treatment. INVISTA's C12™ intermediates provide a full range of 12-carbon cyclic and linear molecules. C12™ products, such as dodecanedioic acid (DDDA), CORFREE® M1 dibasic acid mixture, cyclododecanone (CDDK), cyclododecanol (CDDA) and cyclododecatriene (CDDT), serve in demanding segments such as coatings, lubricants, fragrances, adhesives and corrosion inhibition. TERATE® polyols, a diverse portfolio of aromatic polyester polyols, are used in a variety of applications including polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams as well as in coatings, adhesives, elastomers and sealants. TERATE® polyols are available in a wide range of functionalities, hydroxyl levels and viscosities, which allow specific properties to be engineered into products that meet demanding customer and regulatory requirements. The INVISTA Intermediates product portfolio is enhanced by world-class technical support devoted to working with customers to develop new products and applications to help their businesses grow.
