CORE CHEMISTRY

PIBSA The core technology is based on the thermal reaction of polyisobutylene (PIB), maleic anhydride (MA), and a broad range of reactive chemicals to produce polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PIBSA) and PIBSA based derivatives. These products can be used in a variety of applications including, as emulsifiers for use in the manufacture of water in oil emulsions.

PIBSI Nelson Bothers has developed the capability to manufacture polyisobutylene succinimides (PIBSI) and related derivatives from in-house manufactured PIBSA’s.

These PIBSI derivatives can be produced using a variety of short and long chain amines and can be customized to meet the specific needs of our customers.

ASA More recently the company has added the manufacturing capability to produce a broad range of alkenyl succinic anhydrides (ASA) including both linear and branched variants.

The products developed through the application of this chemistry are used in a wide variety of applications that cross multiple industries. Some of the more common applications include:
