EZ-Blox® optimizes the performance of alkyd-based paint and coating formulations by preventing surface skin formation due to contact with atmospheric oxygen when, between uses, such formulations sit in containers. EZ-Blox® is a breakthrough product that offers a safe, cost-effective replacement for MEKO, typically with equal efficacy and compatibility with other components in such formulations. With EU-REACH certification and low-toxicity, EZ-Blox® is ideal for paints and coatings producers looking to reformulate high-performance alkyd-based systems post ECHA’s reclassification of MEKO as a Carcinogen 1B substance on March 1, 2022.

AdvanSix Isopropylamine (ΜΙΡΑ) is a colorless, flammable liquid with an ammonia-like scent and boasts stability under recommended storage. Despite being sparingly soluble in water, it serves as a pivotal building block for various herbicides and pesticides, including atrazine, glyphosate, and others. Furthermore, it acts as a regulatory agent in plastics, finds utility in organic synthesis for coating materials, plastics, and pharmaceuticals, and serves as an additive within the petroleum industry.

AdvanSix Diallylamine (DALA) is a colorless to yellow liquid that emits a pungent ammonia-like odor. It's flammable, corrosive, and partially soluble in water, while completely dissolving in ethanol, benzene, and ethyl acetate. Under recommended storage conditions, it maintains stability. This versatile compound serves various industries as a key ingredient in pharmaceuticals, resins, paper production, and crop protection formulations. Moreover, its applications span as a solvent, corrosion inhibitor, ore flotation agent, and in rubber processing.
