ChemCeed

What ChemCeed does

ChemCeed LLC is a privately held, ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical distribution company headquartered in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, founded in 2009. The company supplies a broad portfolio of specialty chemicals and raw materials — including dicarboxylic acids (sebacic, dodecanedioic, adipic, azelaic), plasticizers (TINTM, DPT, DINP), base oils (mineral oil, PAO, polybutene), oleochemicals (stearic, lauric, capric, caprylic, myristic, tall oil fatty acids), castor oil derivatives, corrosion inhibitors (benzotriazole, tolyltriazole), and specialty additives such as the V-PLUS III flame retardant — to industrial customers across at least ten verticals: plastics and rubber, lubrication and greases, inks and coatings, agriculture, construction, cosmetics and personal care, food and beverage, paper manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment. ChemCeed also offers value-added services including blending, consignment, just-in-time delivery, labeling, repackaging, logistical support, and technical support, with products stocked domestically to enable rapid fulfillment for North American customers.

The company operates a sales-led, direct distribution model, reaching customers through its own sales representatives, the company website, educational content marketing, industry trade shows (STLE, ILMA, American Coatings Show, International Elastomer Conference), and earned media. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, consistent with a business-to-business industrial supplier model. ChemCeed is certified as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBENC since 2016) and a Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (NMSDC), holds ACD/RD Verified and EcoVadis Bronze sustainability credentials, and is an ILMA supplier member. In January 2026 the company expanded into elastomer chemistry through a strategic partnership with PMI to launch a domestic U.S.-stocked line of high-performance rubber accelerators and antioxidants targeting automotive and industrial rubber customers. The company has 11–50 employees and is led by President Marimel Enderes and Vice President Rolly Enderes.

Products and services

• Sebacic Acid Granular (SBA) A naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid derived from castor oil, used in Nylon 6-10 manufacturing, corrosion inhibitors in metalworking fluids, thickener in lithium complex greases, and as an intermediate in various chemical syntheses including polyamide and alkyd resins.
• Dodecanedioic Acid (DDDA) A dicarboxylic acid used in manufacturing of nylon 6, 12, adhesives, powder coatings and paints, and in production of corrosion inhibitors for water treatment and industrial facilities. Effective as a ferrous corrosion inhibitor for metalworking fluids, engine coolants, and metal cleaners.
• Triisononyl Trimellitate (TINTM) A specialty plasticizer for PVC known for high temperature resistance, low volatility, and excellent migration stability. As the least volatile and highest molecular weight monomeric plasticizer, it delivers superior performance for demanding applications including wire and cable insulation and automotive components.
