Product Name: Carbonates

Product Description

Huntsman Corporation is the world's largest producer of alkylene carbonates. At a production capacity of 65 million pounds per year, Huntsman can produce about 50% of the world's carbonates. 

The roots of Huntsman's carbonates experience date into the 1950s; however, in 1996, the company completed the first large scale plant in the world.

Huntsman produces its carbonates in three separate manufacturing facilities on two continents and maintains bulk storage of these materials in various sites around the world.

In addition to: 
JEFFSOL® ethylene carbonate
JEFFSOL® propylene carbonate 
JEFFSOL® butylene carbonate 
JEFFSOL® glycerine carbonate
the group produces a series of UltraPure® Propylene Carbonate and UltraPure® Ethylene Carbonate. 

Huntsman continues to invest in the latest production technology and specialized derivatives for use in a number of markets.

The JEFFSOL® carbonates can be used as safe and environmentally friendly solvents, replacing harsh products such as methylene chloride, acetone, aromatic solvents, and other highly volatile and hazardous solvents. These materials can be used as a reactive intermediate replacing ethylene and propylene oxides, and ethylene and propylene glycols in many reactions. Where substitution occurs, use of the carbonates may allow for a more selective reaction and minimizes side reactions and contaminants.

In many cases, technical staff can assist our customers in formulations, carbonate reactions, and development of specialized products
