Halocarbon Products Corporation

What Halocarbon Products Corporation does

Halocarbon Products Corporation, organized as Halocarbon, LLC in Georgia, is a U.S.-based specialty fluorochemical manufacturer with headquarters in Peachtree Corners, GA, manufacturing operations in North Augusta, SC, and a commercial office in Osaka, Japan. Founded around 1950, the company has accumulated 75 years of fluorochemistry expertise and describes itself as the first commercial producer of PCTFE (polychlorotrifluoroethylene)-based lubricants. The company employs 101-250 people and is structured as a non-traditional woman-owned small business with no disclosed external equity backing.

The product portfolio spans engineered fluids (HaloVac vacuum pump fluids and MRO oils/greases based on PCTFE and select PFPE chemistries), a metalworking fluid line (MWF series) targeting refractory and aerospace alloys such as Inconel 718, titanium, tantalum, tungsten, and molybdenum, life sciences products (FDA-approved Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia listed in the Orange Book as a therapeutic equivalent to Ultane, plus Isoflurane for human and veterinary use and HFIP precursor), and electronics solutions including LIB-series fluorinated electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries and HFIP-based photoresist monomers for semiconductor lithography. The portfolio of 77+ specialty SKUs is supported by MIL-spec certifications (MIL-PRF-27617G Type III, MIL-G-47219A) and NSF H1 food-grade certifications on select greases.

The company sells through a hybrid go-to-market model: a quote-driven direct sales force for enterprise and custom orders, an owned InfinX e-commerce storefront plus Amazon marketplace presence for smaller transactions, and an authorized distributor network including F. Bacon, TMC Industries, Solvadis, Motion Industries, and ARNA, with veterinary-specific distributors handling Isoflurane. Pricing is predominantly quote-based with $500 domestic and $1,000 international order minimums and Cash-in-Advance terms on initial orders. Customer validation has been built through third-party testing collaborations with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Kratos SRE, and Georgia Institute of Technology, which have produced published performance data on aerospace and refractory metal machining.
