Stepan's surfactant chemistry — sulfonation of alcohols and alkylbenzenes with SO3 — produces the detergents in your shampoo and dish soap. Our Quikrete concrete admixture modifies cement hydration kinetics.

ICL's brominated and phosphorus flame retardants interrupt the radical chain reactions of combustion — chemistry buying seconds that save lives in fires. Our Dead Sea bromine extraction yields the purest Br2 on Earth.

Mane's captive molecules — synthesized in-house and unavailable to competitors — give perfumes their signature. Our recent discovery: a coumarin derivative 50x more powerful than natural tonka bean extract. Molecular perfumery.
