Technical citric acid is used primarily in industrial cleaning agents, water treatment, construction mixes, textile processes and personal care manufacturing where food grade is not required, but functionality, stability and cost‑effectiveness are essential.

DPM (dipropylene glycol methyl ether) is a polar organic solvent from the glycol ether family, with medium‑low volatility and mild odor. It is highly miscible with water and with most polar and many non‑polar solvents, providing strong solvency for a wide range of polymer resins, oils and additives. Compared with classical fast‑evaporating solvents, DPM evaporates more slowly, delivering extended open time, improved leveling and controlled drying, which is critical in cleaning products, coatings, printing inks, adhesives and electronics applications.

EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and its sodium salts) is a high‑efficiency organic chelating agent, typically supplied as the free acid or Na₂/Na₄‑EDTA salts. In aqueous solution it strongly complexes hardness ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺) and many transition metals (Fe, Cu, Mn), stabilizing formulations, preventing precipitation and degradation of active components. It is widely used in cleaning products, textile and paper processing, water treatment and the oil & gas industry as a benchmark chelant with a broad application range.

Ethyl acetate is an organic solvent (an ester of acetic acid and ethanol) with low viscosity, medium‑high volatility and a characteristic mild fruity odor. It is colorless, readily soluble in most organic solvents and partially miscible with water. Offering excellent solvency for a broad range of polymers (nitrocellulose, acrylics, polyurethanes, chlorinated polymers), ethyl acetate is one of the key solvents in the coatings, printing inks, adhesives, packaging and certain electronics applications. Thanks to its favorable evaporation profile, it ensures fast film drying while maintaining good workability and high gloss of the final product.

Fatty alcohol ethoxylates (often designated as AEO or AE) are nonionic surfactants produced by reacting fatty alcohols with ethylene oxide. They typically appear as clear to slightly hazy liquids or waxy solids depending on carbon chain length and degree of ethoxylation. They provide excellent wetting, emulsifying and dispersing power, as well as effective degreasing with controlled or low foam. Their nonionic character gives high compatibility with anionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants, making them key components in household and industrial cleaners, personal care products, textile and leather processing, as well as agricultural formulations.

GLDA (tetrasodium N,N‑bis(carboxymethyl)‑L‑glutamate) is a readily biodegradable, amino‑acid‑based chelating agent developed as a more sustainable alternative to traditional phosphates and aminopolycarboxylic chelants. It is typically supplied as a highly soluble aqueous solution with strong chelating power toward hardness and various transition‑metal ions over a wide pH range. GLDA is used in cleaning products, personal care, textile and paper processing, and water treatment, combining effective metal control with an improved environmental profile and excellent biodegradability.

Glycol ethers are a family of organic solvents based on glycol molecules (e.g. ethylene or propylene glycol), whose solubility and volatility are tuned by introducing ether and/or hydroxyl groups. They exhibit excellent compatibility with water and many polar and non‑polar resins, making them highly versatile solvents and co‑solvents. Due to their controlled evaporation rate, ability to bridge water and organic phases and to improve rheology, glycol ethers are key raw materials in cleaning, coatings, printing inks, adhesives and electronics applications.
