Ascend Performance Materials said it added new grades to its specialty amines portfolio.
The new grades offer enhanced performance in a number of oil and gas, coatings and asphalt applications, the company said.
“These new grades show our commitment to produce high-quality products to meet customer need,” said Maria Field, Ascend’s product manager for amines.
Ascend’s new grades of specialty amines include the following:
- FlexaTram-BHM-170, a product based on (bis)hexamethylenetriamine (BHMT), features ultra-low metal content and an improved color profile for enhanced performance in several oil and gas chemistries, including use in scale inhibition, corrosion inhibition and water clarifying.
- FlexaTram-BHM-220, a formulated liquid BHMT product with improved handling, odor, health and safety profiles, is designed for use in asphalt anti-strip applications.
- FlexaTram-DAM-200, a 1,2 -diaminocyclohexane (DCH) product, features improved chemical and mechanical resistance when used in epoxy coatings and composites applications.
- Hexatran-300, a multifunctional product based on triaminononane, provides a cost-effective solution for use in coatings, adhesives, oil and gas, and asphalt applications.
Other products under development include high-purity BHMT material for multiple end-use applications and high-purity DCH material as an epoxy curing agent.
