DEHYDRATED CASTOR OIL is obtained from the seeds of Ricinus Communis, which is a pale yellow, viscous, oily liquid insoluble in water. It contains more than 87% of a unique hydroxy fatty acid.

EASTMAN™ 2-ETHYL HEXANOL is a versatile solvent featuring excellent reactivity as a chemical intermediate. It serves as a chain terminator in synthesizing condensation polymers and as an intermediate for plasticizers. EASTMAN™ 2-ETHYL HEXANOL has low volatility and enhances the flow and gloss of baking enamels. It is also used as a dispersing agent for pigment pastes. EASTMAN™ 2-ETHYL HEXANOL complies with REACH.

STEPOSOL MET-10U is a unique unsaturated di-substituted amide derived from renewable sourcing from a biobased feedstock manufactured using Nobel Prize-winning metathesis technology. Among other properties, STEPOSOL MET-10U exhibits rapid, soil-penetrating kinetics, excellent solvency, heat and hydrolytic stability, and a low VOC content.
