details)
Epoxy, or polyepoxide, is a thermosetting polymer that cures (polymerizes and crosslinks) with a catalyzing agent or "hardener". Depending upon the curing agent this reaction can take place at either an elevated or room temperature.
Most common epoxy resins are produced from a reaction between epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A and
are available in a range of molecular weights. Low molecular weight resins are liquid and high molecular weight resins are solid. Our Epoxy plant (JANA) produces basic liquid resins for solvent-free coatings, resins for solvent borne coatings, solid resins for powder coatings and high molecular resins for specialty applications.
RazeenŽ is a registered trademark of JANA, and product types under this brand name were launched in the market in the beginning of 2004. The products made under this trademark have been well received and accepted by customer.
RazeenŽ has the same quality as AralditeŽ (which is manufactured under the license of Huntsman). Currently, all the products manufactured and supplied to customers as RazeenŽ
are absolute look-alike matching products with AralditeŽ range of products.
Anhydrous Caustic Soda or Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is an important indispensable inorganic chemical which is used in various applications by numerous industries world wide.
It is produced by multi-stage evaporation process and transformed into the solid state either as micro spherical particles called prills (pearl) or caustic soda solid (fused). Caustic Soda is used in various applications by numerous of industries worldwide in chemical production, petroleum and natural gas processing, textile finishing process, cleaning products, food processing, beverages, pharmaceutical and municipal water and sewage treatment.
Our caustic soda plant (SODA), produces caustic soda prills (pearl) and caustic soda solid.
Epichlorohydrin is a reactive organic compound. It is an epoxide and an organochloride. It is a colorless liquid with pungent, garlic-like odor that is insoluble in water, but miscible with most polar organic solvents. Epichlorohydrin is a highly reactive compound and will polymerize upon treatment with either acid or strong base.
Epichlorohydrin is manufactured from propylene. A major industrial use of epichlorohydrin has been in the production of epoxy resins, phenoxy resins and other polymers. It used to solvent for cellulose, resins, and paints.
