Initiator for olefin polymerization. Alkylating and metalating agent.

As a getter film in the manufacture of transmitter tubes; as a binding component between grinding agents, carbides, ceramics and metal; as an alloying constituent in powder metallurgy. Applicable as hydrogen source for the foaming of metals.

Zirconium/Nickel alloy powders find application in various pyrotechnic and ordnance areas. They are used in squibs, delay mixtures and initiators.

Calcium hydride is used primarily as a source of hydrogen, as a drying agent for liquids and gases, and as a reducing agent for metal oxides.

Cesium nitrate is used as promoter in heterogeneous catalysts (e.g. methylmethacrylic acid production) and in pyrotechnics.

Raw material for pharmaceuticals. Catalyst in the field of polymerization of e. g. polypropylene resins. Hardening of polymers (e. g. polyepoxides).

Nitrite-free heat transfer salt for salt bath curing in open or closed circulations, e.g. in LCM installations for the vulcanization of rubber.

SAYTEX 621 flame retardant is a physical blend of brominated polystyrene and a polyester resin. It is supplied in a convenient low-dust pellet form and contains a high level of bromine, about 64 percent.

Zirconium powders find application in various pyrotechnic areas. They are a source of heat for squibs and ignition devices for a variety of uses including automotive airbag inflators.

Spodumene is used in glasses, glass-ceramics, porcelain enamels, whitewares, and glazes due to the powerful fluxing properties of lithia. It possesses a very low thermal expansion and reduces the viscosity of the glass mass. It contributes to brilliancy and strength of the glass.
