Core offering

ChemCom Industries manufactures and sells industrial chemicals including methanol, formaldehyde (produced in-house from methanol by oxidation), urea-formaldehyde and melamine-urea-formaldehyde resins under the PerformTM brand for the wood processing industry, sulfonated melamine resin superplasticizers under the Plastyn brand for concrete and gypsum applications, and slow-release nitrogen fertilizers under the Tardit MU brand for agriculture. The company also operates a multifunctional tank farm providing third-party production, mixing and blending services using its reactors and storage infrastructure.

Product overview

ChemCom Industries is an industrial chemical producer offering a portfolio of interrelated chemical products centered on formaldehyde chemistry and methanol derivatives. The core offerings include methanol (raw material/building block), formaldehyde (produced in-house at desired concentrations), and Perform UF/MUF resin adhesives for the wood processing industry. Adjacent product lines include Plastyn (sulfonated melamine superplasticizers for concrete, acquired via Desmepol-Plastyn) and Tardit MU (slow-release nitrogen fertilizers in granular and liquid form). The company also operates a multifunctional tank farm providing toll manufacturing and blending services for third parties. Together, these products serve the formaldehyde derivatives value chain from raw materials (methanol) through intermediate resins and formulated specialty chemicals (fertilizers, superplasticizers) to end markets including wood processing, construction, and agriculture.

Products and services

• Methanol Methanol is a primary alcohol (methyl alcohol) — a colorless, tasteless liquid with a faint odor — used as a building block and raw material for formaldehyde, acetic acid, resins, adhesives, paints, foams, silicones, plastic bottles and polyester. Distributed by ChemCom Industries to industrial buyers.
• Formaldehyde Formaldehyde is an essential industrial chemical produced in-house at ChemCom's facility from methanol by oxidation and supplied at any desired concentration (typically 37 or 55 weight percent in water as formalin). It is used as a raw material or intermediate across numerous applications.
• Perform UF Resins Perform UF (urea-formaldehyde) resins are adhesives for the wood processing industry, used in particleboard, MDF, HDF, foam resin manufacturing, and other industrial adhesive applications. They are produced in different versions adapted to specific production setups and customer needs, and feature extremely low formaldehyde emissions meeting E1, E1/2 and F**** standards for indoor applications.
• Perform MUF Resins Perform MUF (melamine-urea-formaldehyde) resins are UF resins reinforced with melamine in varying proportions, used as adhesives in particleboard, MDF, HDF, foam resins and as glass fiber binders. They offer particularly high resistance to harsh environmental conditions including water resistance for moisture-exposed wood applications.
• Plastyn (PLASTYN 40% and PLASTYN 35%) Plastyn is a superplasticizing/water-reducing additive for concrete, based on the patented sulfonated melamine resin EP 0690083. PLASTYN 40% is used as a raw material by formulators for plasticizers with retarding, accelerating, or air-entraining action. PLASTYN 35% is a direct-use superplasticizer for unreinforced, reinforced and prestressed concrete, anhydrite floors, and gypsum applications.
• Tardit MU / Tardit Liquid (Slow-Release Nitrogen Fertilizer) Tardit MU is an innovative nitrogen fertilizer (urea condensate / methylene urea) with a pronounced long-term effect, forming chains of varying lengths that release nitrogen through water solubility and microbial degradation. Available in granular form (Tardit MU) and liquid form (Tardit Liquid) for spraying crops, and developed in collaboration with Swiss company Hauert HBG Dünger AG.
• Multifunctional Tank Farm Production and Blending Services The multifunctional tank farm is a service offering that uses ChemCom's storage options and multifunctional reactors to manufacture, mix and combine chemical products for third-party customers. It supports methylene urea production, waxing/resins, and formaldehyde-related production for external customers requiring custom chemical formulations.
