ACETYLENE CHEMISTRY GFS Chemicals manufactures the widest range of specialty acetylenic compounds in the U.S. Many aspects of "molecular construction" are being dra- matically enhanced through the use of both simple and multifunctional acetylenic building blocks. The GFS handbook, "GFS Organics Modern Acetylene Chemistry for Research and Applied Technology", is a valuable resource which puts information on properties and availability of several hundred specialty and exotic acetyle- nic and olefinic compounds at every researcher's fingertips. HC CR Acetylene Reactions HC CC2 HC CH 2 HC CCn C CH RC CC CCOH ACETYLENE REACTIONS Our 80 years of history and strategic acquisitions have expanded this product group through the addition of some unique chemical synthesis and our buying power tied to the support of our manufac- turing operations. Many of the products we offer are, in turn, used to support additional down stream chemistry – aldehydes to make secondary alcohols, alcohols to make haloge- nated compounds, ketones to make tertiary alcohols and amines to support a host of chemistries as an acid scavenger, buffer media or in the production of more functional amines. GFS not only offers these for sale but as you focus on our other core product offerings we're confident you'll see how we integrate our product listings and chemistry capabilities to focus on the vertical integra- tion of our business.
