Products are offered in Technical, FCC, ACS, and CP (Chemically Pure) grades. Other services include custom packaging, blending and drying.

The Specialty Division was acquired from Fallek Chemical in 1987 and has established itself as a world leader in Specialty Alcohols under the Jarcol TM tradename. Jarcols are highly specialized Branch Chain or Unsaturated Oleyl Alcohols with many unique applications. In 1997, we began developing the market for specialty lipids in the cosmetic, nutritional and pharmaceutical markets. Our Shea Butter portfolio has become a huge market success. In 2005 Jarchem began development of exotic and active ingredients from the Amazon Rain Forest for use in all segments of personal care, as well as candlemaking and nutrition. The Specialty Division also holds strong market positions in Specialty Monomers for adhesive and coating applications as well as Hydroxylamine Sulfate for varied markets.

The Deicer Division supplies a variety of acetate and propylene glycol based deicers. These products find use on airport runways, ramps and taxiways as well as roads, bridges and environmentally sensitive areas.
