Geogard® products have been specifically design to inhibit and control scaling and fouling which may occur under the most severe geothermal conditions.
Glycerine USP is Italmatch Chemicals’ glycerine (propane-1,2,3-triol) product line, supplied for use as a lubricant for oils and as a solvent.
Hidrofugal® is Italmatch Chemicals’ calcium stearate-based product line within the Oleochemicals portfolio, designed to act as a hydrophobic agent. Hidrofugal® is specifically developed for construction, asphalt and bitumen applications, where it provides water-repellent performance to protect formulations from moisture-related degradation.
Ionquest® is Italmatch Advanced Water Solutions Phosphorus-based range for mining and mineral processing applications. In hydrometallurgical operations, solvent extraction in one of the more common separation techniques as it frequently appears to be the ideal method of separating trace constituents from large amounts of other substances.
Solvent extraction is the distribution of a solute (or solutes) between two immiscible liquids or phases. Solvent extraction usually takes place with aqueous and organic solutions or phases. The aqueous phase generally consists of a solute (or solutes), contaminating compounds, and acids dissolved in water. The organic phase typically consists of a diluent and the extractant. Italmatch offers a range of innovative phosphorous-based extractants to effectively separate Nickel from Cobalt, Rare Earths, Uranium, Zinc, and various other metals in industrial mining operations or recover a wide range of critical metals from lithium-ion battery recycling industries.
Also, as an alternative to liquid/liquid extraction such as carried out with Ionquest® SX reagents, in mining and refining solid-liquid extraction is also very common. This is especially suited for difficult extraction, where the concentration of the target metal is relatively low. Our current range of scavenging resins is targeting the Platinum Group Metals (PGM). Italmatch provides an innovative and patented phosphorous-based microporous resin technology for the selective removal of transition metals from industrial waste and process waters. By selectively recovering the metal content, our clients obtain a net economic advantage.
Kemfluid® is Italmatch Chemicals’ Oleochemicals product line of fatty esters and specialty derivatives, including glyceryl esters, pentaerythritol esters, ethylene bis-stearamide, sorbitan and diglycerol esters, esterquats and proprietary compositions. It is engineered to deliver lubrication, demoulding, dispersing, antistatic, anti-blocking, rheology-modifying, hydrophobic, antifogging and conditioning performance. The range serves as lubricants for plastics and for oils, and extends its performance into fabric and household cleaning formulations, providing formulators with a versatile toolbox of oleochemical solutions for plastics, rubber, construction and cleaning applications.
Kemilub® is Italmatch Chemicals’ Oleochemicals product line based on magnesium stearate, zinc stearate, zinc soap, sodium stearate, sodium oleate and fatty acid soap mixtures, available in pharma, vegetal, palm-free, transparent and non-dusting grades. Kemilub® products act as hydrophobic agents, demoulding aids, stabilizers, anticaking agents, lubricants for plastics, rheology modifiers, dispersing agents, sealers and stiffening agents, serving plastics and rubber, construction/asphalt/bitumen, paints and coatings, pharmaceutical, and fabric and household cleaning applications.
Kemistab® is Italmatch Chemicals’ Oleochemicals product line of calcium stearate-based stabilizers, available in pharma, vegetal, palm-free and non-dusting grades, alongside dedicated calcium zinc and calcium organic “one-pack” stabilizer systems and calcium 12-hydroxystearate. Kemistab® products deliver stabilizing, lubricating, anticaking and hydrophobic performance for plastics and rubber processing, construction, asphalt and bitumen applications, and pharmaceutical formulations.
A range of polymeric esters for various industrial and automotive lubricants. Developed to give superior lubricating properties in many applications.
Liquibrom® is Italmatch Chemicals’ Water product line based on sodium bromide, developed for industrial water treatment and process applications. Liquibrom® products function as oxidizing biocides, providing effective microbiological control across industrial water treatment systems.
Lumiclene® is Italmatch Advanced Water Solutions new series of enhanced smart-tagged polymers, specifically designed and developed to provide superior performance as scale inhibitors and dispersants for Industrial Water Treatment applications, in both open recirculating and closed cooling systems.
Lumiclene® products have fluorescent properties which can be easily detected with a dedicated online probe or portable fluorometer instruments commonly available in the market.
Unlike already-existing products, such as PTSA, Lumiclene® is a real time monitoring polymer, allowing to determine the real concentration of the polymer present in water in actual time–direct approach.
Lumiclene® shows no interferences in which may contain Belclene® polymers, Dequest® phosphonates, steel and yellow metals corrosion inhibitor. It is also stable in presence of both oxidizing agents and non–oxidizing biocides commonly applied in industrial open recirculating and closed cooling systems, such as Bellacide 355 (TTPC), Isothiazolone, DBNPA and Mayosperse 7700 (Poly-Qua).
Masteret® is the trade name for Red Phosphorus Masterbatches (NOT flammable and NOT ADR-regulated). Masteret® was first introduced by Italmatch Chemicals in 1996 and gave the engineering plastic industry a boost in the field of high-level flame retardancy technology. Stabilized and encapsulated Red Phosphorus is today available in a variety of carriers and formulations. Solid polymers based Masteret® are available on PA6, LDPE, EVA. Liquid based Masteret® are available in water, liquid phosphate, epoxy and castor oil. Main applications for solid Masteret® are PA66 GFR, EVA, PP, PE and rubbers compounds. Main applications for liquid Masteret® are acrylic latex, epoxy, PU, phenolic and PVC (Antimony trioxide replacement).
