Texanol

Whatsapp Order

Texanol is the commercial name for 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate, a high-performance coalescent and solvent widely used in latex paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives. It helps film formation at lower temperatures, enhances flow, improves gloss, and increases storage stability. Texanol is prized for its low odor, low volatility, and excellent balance between solvency and environmental compliance, making it a preferred coalescing agent in waterborne systems.

Immersion Oil

Immersion Oil is a high-purity, optically transparent oil used primarily in microscopy to enhance the resolution of high-power objectives. Applied between the microscope objective lens and the cover glass, immersion oil reduces light refraction and increases numerical aperture, allowing for clearer and more detailed imaging. It is colorless, non-drying, and has a refractive index closely matching that of glass (typically around 1.515). This 50ml volume is ideal for laboratory, clinical, and educational settings where precision microscopy work is performed. Immersion oil is formulated to be chemically stable, non-drying, and safe for delicate optics when used correctly.

Induction coil

An induction coil is an electrical transformer used to produce high-voltage pulses from a low-voltage direct current (DC) supply. It consists of two coils of wire—primary and secondary—wound around a common iron core. When current passes through the primary coil, it creates a magnetic field that induces a high voltage in the secondary coil. Induction coils are essential components in ignition systems, spark generation, and scientific experiments requiring high-voltage pulses. Commonly used in automotive ignition systems, laboratory equipment, and electromagnetic experiments, induction coils enable the conversion of low voltage to the high voltage necessary to generate sparks or initiate other electrical discharges.

Sassafras Oil

Sassafras Oil is a potent essential oil distilled primarily from the bark of the Sassafras albidum tree, native to North America. Steam distillation yields a yellow to reddish-brown oil with a strong, sweet, root beer–like aroma due to its primary constituent, safrole. Historically used in perfumery, flavoring, and herbal medicine, Sassafras Oil possesses aromatic, antiseptic, and stimulant properties. Despite its traditional applications, safrole-containing Sassafras Oil is strictly regulated in many countries due to potential hepatotoxicity and carcinogenicity associated with safrole. As such, modern uses are limited, and safrole-free versions are required for legal use in personal care or flavoring. In compliant forms, it finds niche use in natural fragrances, industrial solvents, and botanical extracts.
