Halocarbon

River Edge, NJ – February 14, 2007 – Halocarbon Products Corporation, a leading world-wide producer of specialty fluorochemicals, has launched recently many new technical developments that it plans to present at the upcoming InformexUSA 2007. 

 

Known for more than 50 years as a fluorine chemistry innovator, Halocarbon is hard at work to make 2007 a banner year for companies interested in expanding the use of fluorine in any number of applications, including pharmaceuticals, anesthetics, inert oils, greases and waxes. Included among Halocarbon’s latest technical achievements are production levels of compounds in the difluoroacetic acid and chlorodifluoroacetic acid families.

 

“Pharmaceutical companies are purchasing these products at a rapid pace for developing projects and approved medications,” said Peter Murin, CEO of Halocarbon Products. “Simultaneously, Halocarbon’s research group is already creating other products including difluoroamines. As always, the tipping point for all our research is customer interaction. We work closely with our customers, as partners, to develop only the products they need for their particular synthesis.”

 

Beyond these efforts, Halocarbon has just developed a new, high-volume process to meet the rising demand for trifluoroethylamine and is working to satisfy mounting requests for HFA (hexafluoroacetone) derivatives.

 

As Halocarbon expands its specialty fluorochemicals product offerings, it also has increased its world-wide presence by adding distributors in key locations, including China, Japan and throughout Europe.

  

“Right now, we are well-positioned to compete with Asian and European suppliers on quality, availability, reliability and pricing, with all our products responsibly manufactured in the United States,” added Murin. “These partners give us the local expertise needed to deliver world-class customer service globally through expert counsel, sales support, marketing and more.”

  

With headquarters in River Edge, New Jersey, and a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in North Augusta, South Carolina, USA, Halocarbon is one of the world’s leading producers of specialty fluorochemicals. Halocarbon products include inert lubricants, aliphatic fluorochemicals for pharmaceutical and agricultural chemical manufacturing, inhalation anesthetics and other specialty products.
