Carbon Disulfide 99%
Carbon Disulfide (CS₂) is a volatile, flammable, and highly toxic organic solvent composed of carbon and sulfur. At 99% purity, it is a clear to pale yellow liquid with a pungent, sweet, ether-like odor. Carbon Disulfide is produced primarily by the reaction of carbon (charcoal) with sulfur vapors at high temperatures. Due to its excellent solvent properties and reactivity, it is used across multiple industries, including the production of rayon, cellophane, rubber chemicals, and pesticides. Despite its utility, Carbon Disulfide requires careful handling because of its toxicity, flammability, and environmental hazards.

Fluiden is a specialized high-performance fluid additive commonly used to improve lubrication, reduce friction, and enhance the flow properties of various industrial fluids such as oils, coolants, and hydraulic fluids. It is typically a synthetic or semi-synthetic blend of surfactants, polymers, and corrosion inhibitors designed to optimize fluid stability, performance, and equipment protection. Fluiden products are utilized extensively in automotive, manufacturing, metalworking, and chemical processing industries to prolong machinery life, increase efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs. It appears as a clear to slightly colored liquid with low viscosity and excellent miscibility in water and oils depending on formulation.
Hydrocarbon Resins Petroleum
Hydrocarbon Resins Petroleum are synthetic petroleum-derived resins produced through the polymerization of C5 (pentene) and C9 (nonene) fraction monomers. These resins appear as pale yellow to amber solid materials, usually in pellet or flake form, characterized by tackifying and adhesive properties. C5 resins are derived from aliphatic hydrocarbons, while C9 resins originate from aromatic hydrocarbons. Often blended, these resins provide a balance of hardness, tackiness, and compatibility with various polymers. Widely used as tackifiers, binders, and modifiers, C5 & C9 hydrocarbon resins enhance performance in adhesives, coatings, rubber compounding, and more.
Lead Drier
Lead Drier is a chemical additive primarily used in the coatings and paints industry to accelerate the drying and curing process of oil-based paints, varnishes, and coatings. It functions as a catalytic agent that promotes the oxidative polymerization of drying oils, reducing the drying time and improving the film formation. Lead driers are traditionally lead-based salts such as lead naphthenate or lead octoate, valued for their effectiveness at low concentrations. Due to toxicity concerns, their use is increasingly regulated and often replaced by safer alternatives.
