How Our Products Are Used
Our chemicals are found in a range of building and construction applications.
AdvanSix Acetone ACS Grade
ACS Acetone, also known as Acetone ACS reagent, is a high-purity grade of acetone that meets the standards set by the American Chemical Society (ACS).
AdvanSix Acetone Low Water Grade
Acetone Low Water Grade (also known as dimethyl ketone and 2-propanone) is a clear, colorless, low-boiling, flammable, volatile liquid characterized by rapid evaporation and a faintly aromatic, sweetish odor. It is readily miscible in most organic solvents and completely miscible, in all proportions, in water. Acetone is one of the simplest aliphatic ketones, and is an excellent solvent for a wide range of gums, resins, waxes, fats, greases, oils, dyestuffs and cellulosics. It is widely used as a chemical intermediate in the production of methyl isobutyl ketone and other solvents, and in the production of such important chemicals as bis-phenol-A and methyl methacrylate. It is also used in the manufacture of a wide variety of coatings and plastics.
AdvanSix Acetone NF Grade
Acetone (also known as dimethyl ketone and 2-propanone) is a clear, colorless, low-boiling, flammable, volatile liquid characterized by rapid evaporation and a faintly aromatic, sweetish odor. It is readily miscible in most organic solvents and completely miscible, in all proportions, in water. Acetone is one of the simplest aliphatic ketones, and is an excellent solvent for a wide range of gums, resins, waxes, fats, greases, oils, dyestuffs and cellulosics. It is widely used as a chemical intermediate in the production of methyl isobutyl ketone and other solvents, and in the production of such important chemicals as bis-phenol-A and methyl methacrylate. It is also used in the manufacture of a wide variety of coatings and plastics.
AdvanSix PCR-Caprolactam
PCR-Caprolactam from AdvanSix contains 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) raw materials while providing the same top processability, properties and functionalities as its standard, non-recycled counterpart. PCR-Caprolactam is used in a variety of polymerization, melt extrusion, and other chemical applications worldwide. As one the largest and most experienced suppliers of merchant-grade caprolactam, AdvanSix offers industry-leading quality, consistency, and reliability of supply. ASIX uses an industry-accepted mass balance method which allocates recycled material into 100% PCR caprolactam grade. PCR grades are certified by an independent third-party organization (SCS Global Services) for recycled content, with annual audits.
AdvanSix Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)
AdvanSix Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), also known as isopropanol or 2-propanol, is a colorless, flammable organic compound with a distinct alcoholic odor. It plays a pivotal role in the production of a diverse range of industrial and household chemicals and is a ubiquitous component in products like antiseptics, disinfectants, hand sanitizers, and detergents. IPA is frequently employed as a solvent, a chemical intermediate, a medical disinfectant, and finds extensive usage in laboratory applications due to its versatile properties and effectiveness.
AdvanSix Standard Grade Acetone
Acetone Standard Grade (also known as dimethyl ketone and 2-propanone) is a clear, colorless, low-boiling, flammable, volatile liquid characterized by rapid evaporation and a faintly aromatic, sweetish odor. It is readily miscible in most organic solvents and completely miscible, in all proportions, in water. Acetone is one of the simplest aliphatic ketones, and is an excellent solvent for a wide range of gums, resins, waxes, fats, greases, oils, dyestuffs and cellulosics. It is widely used as a chemical intermediate in the production of methyl isobutyl ketone and other solvents, and in the production of such important chemicals as bis-phenol-A and methyl methacrylate. It is also used in the manufacture of a wide variety of coatings and plastics.

EZ-Blox®
EZ-Blox® offers a safe, cost-effective and proven alternative to MEKO. It is designed to optimize the performance of alkyd-based paint systems by preventing a surface skin from forming when the product comes into contact with atmospheric oxygen. This, in turn, improves paint performance and reduces waste. Learn more.
Sulf-N® Ammonium Sulfate
AdvanSix Sulf-N® ammonium sulfate (21-0-0-24S) is a high-analysis fertilizer that provides efficient nitrogen and readily-available sulfur to crops. It is available in granular, standard, mid and soluble sizes. It reduces fertilizer applications—as it can be applied with other fertilizers—to fit short planting and growing windows and supports pre-plant, at-plant, topdress, sidedress and blend programs.
