Overview: High-Purity Chemical Intermediates for Global Industries

Industrial chemicals are the essential catalysts and raw materials that drive global manufacturing, refining, water treatment, and synthesis. At EXIM, we supply a comprehensive range of organic and inorganic chemical products, basic intermediates, and industrial solvents. Sourced directly from world-scale chemical complexes in the feedstock-rich Persian Gulf region, our products offer uncompromised purity, cost-competitiveness, and long-term availability.

We manage the entire chemical supply chain with strict adherence to safety and environmental standards. Whether your processes require bulk liquid chemical tankers, high-integrity ISO tank containers, or secure drummed shipments, EXIM ensures your chemical feeds are delivered with verified quality (SGS/Intertek certified) and precise timing.

1. Methanol (CH₃OH)

Technical & Commercial Profile

Methanol is a versatile, high-volume liquid chemical intermediate used as a building block for thousands of everyday products. Sourced at Federal Grade AA purity (minimum 99.85% purity with ultra-low water and ethanol content), our methanol serves as a primary feedstock for downstream chemical synthesis and clean energy applications.

Industrial Applications

• Formaldehyde & Resins: The primary feedstock for producing urea-formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde, and melamine resins used in construction and woodworking.
• Acetic Acid Production: Used as a precursor for vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), solvents, and photographic films.
• Fuel & Fuel Additives: Essential for manufacturing Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE) and blending directly into biodiesel and clean-burning marine fuels.
• Wastewater Treatment: Acts as a carbon source for denitrification in municipal and industrial water treatment facilities.

2. Glycols (MEG, DEG, TEG)

Technical & Commercial Profile

We supply a full spectrum of high-purity ethylene glycols, which are odorless, colorless, and low-volatility liquids with excellent hygroscopic properties and miscibility in water.

• Monoethylene Glycol (MEG – C₂H₆O₂): Minimum 99.8% purity, mainly used for polyester fiber spinning and bottle-grade PET resin production.
• Diethylene Glycol (DEG – C₄H₁₀O₃): Used in unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), polyurethane compounding, and grinding aids for cement manufacturing.
• Triethylene Glycol (TEG – C₆H₁₄O₄): Highly effective agent for natural gas dehydration systems and air conditioning dehumidification.

Industrial Applications

• Polyester & Textiles: MEG is reacted with purified terephthalic acid (PTA) to synthesize high-strength polyester fibers and PET plastics.
• Antifreeze & Coolants: Used to lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of automotive and industrial heat transfer fluids.
• Dehydration & Solvents: TEG is critical for stripping moisture from natural gas streams before pipeline transmission.

3. Chlor-Alkali Products (Caustic Soda – NaOH)

Technical & Commercial Profile

Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide) is a fundamental, strong inorganic base utilized across almost every manufacturing sector. We supply Caustic Soda in two high-grade formats:

• Caustic Soda Flakes (Purity ≥99%): Solid, highly hygroscopic white flakes with low salt (NaCl) and heavy metal impurities.
• Caustic Soda Lye (Liquid 50% Solution): Highly uniform aqueous solution optimized for direct dosing in industrial operations.

Industrial Applications

• Pulp & Paper: Used in the cooking and bleaching stages of wood pulp processing.
• Water Treatment: Essential for pH neutralization, heavy metal precipitation, and regeneration of ion exchange resins.
• Alumina Production: Used to dissolve bauxite ore during the Bayer process to extract pure aluminum.
• Soaps & Detergents: Saponifies fats and oils to produce commercial surfactants and cleaning agents.

4. Aromatics (Benzene, Toluene, Mixed Xylenes)

Technical & Commercial Profile

Aromatics are cyclic hydrocarbons derived from catalytic reforming and pyrolysis gasoline. They represent the building blocks for synthetic rubbers, fibers, and performance plastics.

• Benzene (C₆H₆): Highly pure solvent and intermediate used in the synthesis of ethylbenzene, cumene, and cyclohexane.
• Toluene (C₇H₈): High-octane fuel blending component and solvent for paints, adhesives, and chemical synthesis.
• Mixed Xylenes (C₈H₁₀): Comprising ortho-, meta-, and para-xylene isomers, used heavily in the production of plasticizers and polyester precursors.

Industrial Applications

• Polymer Intermediates: Precursor to styrene, nylon, polyurethanes, and synthetic rubbers.
• Industrial Solvents: Widely used as fast-drying solvents in the coatings, inks, and pharmaceutical sectors.

5. Industrial Solvents & Specialty Chemicals

Technical & Commercial Profile

We source and distribute a broad range of highly effective organic solvents and specialty chemical agents tailored to specific industrial formulations.

• Acetone (C₃H₆O): Fast-evaporating solvent used in acrylic plastics, polycarbonates, and pharmaceuticals.
• Ethyl Acetate (C₄H₈O₂): Low-toxicity, biodegradable solvent used in flexible packaging, printing inks, and adhesives.
• Ethanol & Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA): High-grade solvents and sanitizers for cosmetics, printing, and medical applications.

The EXIM Supply Advantage

• Strict Quality Control: Every shipment is backed by an official Certificate of Analysis (COA) and verified by independent surveyors (SGS, Intertek) to ensure purity matches technical specifications.
• Specialized Logistics Fleet: We coordinate logistics utilizing specialized stainless-steel chemical tankers, lined ISO tank containers, and UN-approved steel drums to prevent chemical contamination.
• Direct-from-Source Pricing: By utilizing direct off-take agreements with major regional petrochemical complexes, we ensure stable pricing and volume security for your manufacturing operations.
