Chemicals
Also known as technical-grade chemicals, these industrial-grade chemicals are not suitable for food or medicinal use.
Nitric acid is used for industrial and laboratory applications such as treating wood, pickling and passivating stainless steel, cleaning electronic components, and etching metals. ACS-reagent-grade nitric acid meets quality standards set by the American Chemical Society. ACS-reagent-grade chemicals are also known as Reagent material.
Chemicals that cannot be sold to the areas listed exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds), greenhouse gas emissions, and/or fall under DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) or local import regulations.

Oil-Soluble Dyes

Chlorine
Sanitize pools and spas by killing algae, bacteria, and other contaminants without leaving residue. This chlorine won’t degrade from exposure to UV rays, so it’s good for outdoor use.
Granules dissolve quickly for rapid sanitizing. They’re often used when very high chlorine levels are required for complete disinfection—also known as shock treatment. The granule form makes it easy to adjust dosing as needed. Since they’re added directly to water, they can be used to disinfect fountains and ponds.
Tablets dissolve slowly to maintain a constant and consistent level of chlorine in your pool over time. They must be used through an automatic chlorine feeder or floater.
This chlorine cannot be sold to the listed areas due to product registration requirements.

Clean Room Swabs
Not only are these swabs adhesive and lint free, they also have the best solvent-holding ability of any swab.
Polyester swabs won’t scratch surfaces. Those with isopropyl alcohol have cleaning solution right in the handle—no need for chemicals in your clean room. Simply squeeze the handle to break the seal and moisten the tip of the swab. When wet, these swabs are safe to use on static-sensitive surfaces. Use them to clean small and hard-to-reach devices.
Wet Swabs
The tips of these swabs are soaked with isopropyl alcohol. They contain technical-grade chemicals that are not suitable for food or medicinal use. Product regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

Additives and Reinforcements for Composites
Mix these additives with melted plastic, epoxies, or adhesives to make parts stronger and more wear resistant without adding much weight. You can use them in batches to tackle repairs and small parts instead of machining your part from a sheet, bar, or other shape.
Fiberglass
These additives increase a part’s strength and ability to withstand frequent blows. But, they’re not as strong or as lightweight as carbon fiber additives. They also block electric currents from passing through. Their short fibers are best for castings and foams to prevent cracking as resin shrinks. The amount you use to start should equal about 10-35% of your composite’s weight.
Carbon Fiber and Recycled Carbon Fiber
Often used in vehicles to increase fuel efficiency, these additives can double your composite’s strength to make stiff pieces that are stronger and lighter in weight than aluminum. The more you add to your mixture, the stronger it becomes. These additives also carry electric currents, so they’re good for directing electromagnetic energy away from electrical devices. However, they don’t direct electricity as well as metal. They’re made of chopped fibers, which makes them ideal for repairs and intricate parts. But, they’re not as strong or as stiff as materials with continuous fibers, such as fabric and tow.
The size of carbon fiber’s particles affects its ease of use and strength. The smaller the particle size, the less effort it requires to mix. On the other hand, larger particles make parts stronger and stiffer. Choose carbon fiber with smaller particle sizes when making intricate parts and repairs.
Recycled carbon fiber additives have a low carbon footprint to help you meet environmental goals. But, they’re not as strong or as stiff as standard carbon fiber additives.
Carbon fiber additives for thermoplastics bond with most melted plastic pellets, except PVDF. Shape your mixture into parts with compression and injection molding or 3D printing. You can shape your finished product multiple times without losing its strength. Start by adding 10% by volume to your mixture. Carbon fiber additives for thermosets mix with epoxies, adhesives, vinyl compounds, and phenolic. Use compression molding to turn your mixture into parts, or fill in cavities after curing without adding weight. You can’t shape your product once it’s cured. Begin with 5% by volume in your mixture.
Kevlar
Choose these additives when your application is likely to wear down your finished part—they improve a part’s ability to stand up to corrosion, bangs, bumps, and scrapes. They’re also used to reinforce points where honeycomb cores connect to fabric. To start, mix in 1 part Kevlar to 15 parts composite.
