Celebrating 70 Years of Original Chemistry

Lasting originality requires a unique offering, and that is just what ANGUS delivers. With expertise in nitroalkane chemistry, a multi-functional product offering, and unparalleled market and regulatory expertise, we’re able to serve our customers with the highest quality products and services on the market.

Original Chemistry

Nitroalkane chemistry is a unique process in which commercially useful chemicals are produced from natural gas. By employing this chemistry, we can modify our molecules to create derivatives that can be used for a variety of purposes. Our nitroalkanes and derivatives serve not only as chemical building blocks, but also as additives that enhance product performance. They are functional in a wide variety of applications, including paint and coatings, personal care and cosmetics, leather tanning, and metalworking fluids.

Original Product Offering

Equipped with this proven chemistry, we’ve created hundreds of performance-enhancing products to solve our customers’ formulation challenges. Our amino alcohols, biological buffers, oxazolidines and basic nitroparaffins bring forth added benefits like reduced odor, chemical stability, neutralization, pH stability and pigment dispersion. Our flagship product, AMP-95™ dispersant, provides functional benefits as a dispersant, neutralizer and coalescing agent, while optimizing other ingredients to maximize performance and minimize cost. So, not only can customers benefit from the highest quality products, they save money at the same time.
