Florachem posted on YouTube with a solvent comparison of FloraSolv(TM) LX100 vs. d-Limonene.

Florachem Corporation has launched the d-Limonene vs. FloraSolv™ LX100 video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDQhHAbN230

Florachem conducted a solvent equivalency test by comparing the effectiveness of FloraSolv™ LX100 to that of standard technical grade d-Limonene. FloraSolv™ LX100 is a 100% terpene-based, clear, colorless liquid produced from natural, renewable products. Purity and odor are carefully controlled yielding a consistent product. A special antioxidant package has also been added.

After viewing the video you will see that FloraSolv™ LX100 is an equivalent solvent to d-Limonene across several soils. FloraSolv™ LX100 offers a cost benefit over other terpene products such as d-Limonene. It is also more stable in price and availability. FloraSolv™ LX100 can be purchased in bulk tank wagons or 55 gallon drums from our Mission, Texas manufacturing site.

Please call or email today for additional information or a sample of FloraSolv LX100.

And they allow us to give our customers accurate, reliable appraisals of changing market situations. In the event of inevitable shortages or high prices, we have the ability to find alternatives or extenders to save customers money while assuring availability.

Our citrus business has been a core of our success for twenty years. In 2008, we increased our commitment to this sector by acquiring a citrus oil folding facility in Mission, Texas. This strategic location is well situated not only for incoming raw materials from Florida, California and Brazil, it is also next to the expanding Mexican citrus growing region.

In June of 2010, we added a manufacturing plant in Atlacomulco, Mexico. This site produces a variety of Florachem’s Pine Solvents including Terpineol AF100, Florasolv DPE Dipentene, and various Pine Oil products. Our pine-chemicals supply chain continues to extend reach into China, South America, United States, Scandinavia, and other countries within the Asia-Pacific region. We supply dimer acids, rosin and rosin esters, tall oil fatty acids, and a variety of solvents derived from pine chemicals.

At Florachem, we understand the products we sell and their applications. This makes us much more than a commodities vendor; it makes us a valuable partner to our suppliers and customers alike.

FloraRez™ DR95

FloraRez™ DR115

FloraRez™ DR140

These products have R&B softening points of 90° C to 145° C, with specific acid number and color parameters. Please contact us for further information.

A major U.S. manufacturer has announced a Florida plant closure and withdrawal of dimerized rosin products from the market. FloraRez products offer continuity of supply from stock points located throughout the USA.

USDA Official Florida Citrus Crop Estimate for 2007-2008

Earlier predictions had estimated that next year’s Florida crop would be close to 200 million boxes. Today the USDA reported their forecast at a substantially lower 168 Million boxes. You can read the full report at here.

Florida Orange Forecast Reduced to 132 Million Boxes

The USDA today released their latest revised forecast for the 2006-2007 Florida citrus crop. The forecast was reduced by 8.0 million boxes, which will make this year’s crop about 11% less than last year, and the lowest production since the freeze plagued 1989-1990 season. The revision was made entirely within the early-midseason Navel oranges. The Valencia crop forecast remained unchanged, and is currently being harvested.

If you have any further questions about how the impact of these changes may affect your d-Limonene and Orange Oil supply, please feel free to contact us.

FloraRez(TM) Hydrogenated Rosins and Rosin Esters

Florachem has expanded our FloraRez™ product line to include a full range of hydrogenated gum rosins and rosin esters. Our products are manufactured under strict specifications by an ISO 9002 production facility in China. FlorRez™ products can be made available from our US warehouses in Atlanta, Chicago, Jacksonville and Newark.

Please see Products for more information.

Florida Citrus Crop Estimate for 2006-2007 lowest in 17 years

The U.S. Department of Agriculture today released its first Florida Citrus crop estimate for the 2006-2007 season, anticipating production of 135 million boxes, down from last season’s total of 147.9 million boxes. The 9% decrease in production has been attributed to slow recovery of trees from hurricane damage two years ago. In addition, yields have been affected by canker eradication programs and simply a loss of tree acreage to land development.

A crop of 135 million boxes would be the lowest since the 1989-1990 season when freeze damage resulted in a yield of only 110.2 million boxes. Florida is second largest orange producing region in the world behind Brazil.

Florachem stragetically sources orange oil, d-Limonene and other derivative products from global production regions. Our goal is to manage supply such that we can meet the long term requirements of our customers.

Florachem introduces Dimer & Trimer Acids

Florachem has begun to offer Asian-produced Dimer and Trimer acids to the North American marketplace. Our Floradyme product line offers standard dimer acid, distilled dimer acid, and trimer acid. All products are available in both drum and bulk quantities from our US warehouses. Our industry experience with these products, combined with the support of ISO 9002 certified production plants in Asia, can offer customers viable supply alternatives.

Please see Products for more information.

Floratal fatty acids product line expanded

To meet the growing needs of our customers, Florachem has expanded our Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA) product line. We have seven different fatty acid products which offer unique properties for customer formulation and cost requirements. Due to current market conditions, some products are more readily available than others. However, because of our product line expansion, we can offer customers more alternatives with short lead times.
