PureTech Scientific (Formerly Chemours) Belle, WV facility is the world’s largest dedicated glycolic acid manufacturing facility.

We are pleased to announce that Niacet NIAPROOF® Anionic Surfactant 08 has been granted CleanGredients® certification by the U.S. Environmental Protection agency. CleanGredients® formulation ingredients are approved for use in thousands of products with the Design for Environment (DfE) label.

Glycolic Acid has unique features for inkjet inks, lithographic inks, and fountain solutions. The key features of a hydroxylic and carboxylic group allow it to function as a penetrant, chelating agent, or buffer depending on your ink formulating needs.

Soltrol® isoparaffinic solvents are high purity, low odor, low toxicity solvents that are available in a broad range of evaporation rates and distillation ranges.

DOWICIL™ QK-20 is ideal for use in the clean-up and disinfection of process equipment, industrial tools, production tanks and decontamination of finished products and raw materials.

Cellulose esters (CE’s) are versatile formulating tools that provide a number of benefits to coatings and inks. Because of compatibility with a number of monomers and solvents they can be used in UV curable systems to reduce shrinkage, prevent cratering, improve gloss, and improve pigment dispersion and orientation.

Niaproof® Anionic Surfactant 08 preserves the delicate emulsification balance between a fast breaking system and rapid re-emulsification which is necessary for high speed printing operations. It is an ideal surfactant to mitigate key formulation challenges.

Sokalan® offers great dispersing properties and is compatible with inorganic and organic solids. Sokalan offers grades for soil anti-redeposition, scale encrustation inhibition and rinse aids to remove dull spots and streaks.
