Hydroxy Acids
High-purity hydroxy acids including DMPA, DMBA, and HPVA. Essential building blocks for environmentally friendly waterborne systems (PUDs, alkyds, polyesters) and high-performance polymers used in coatings, inks, adhesives, and lubricants.
Acetylenic Alcohols
High-purity acetylenic alcohols — a family of triple-bond diols and tertiary propargylic alcohols widely used as wetting agents, flow modifiers, and reactive intermediates in coatings, polymer, and ink systems. These molecules combine hydroxyl functionality with acetylenic unsaturation, providing a balance of reactivity and surface activity essential for modern formulations.
Hindered Amines
High-purity hindered amines with sterically hindered piperidine structure and stable radicals. Essential building blocks for HALS light stabilizers, TEMPO derivatives for selective oxidation, and versatile intermediates for demanding applications.
Diaminopolyethylene Glycols
VUP is the unique global producer of high-purity DAPEG polymers featuring PEG chains with reactive amino terminals, essential for biomedical coatings and surface modification applications.
Free Radicals
Specialty stable radicals — primarily TEMPO (2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl) and its key derivatives — designed for controlled oxidation, polymerisation moderation, and mechanistic research. With over five decades of chemical R&D expertise, VUP offers pilot-plant and laboratory-scale radicals for precise control in organic synthesis, living polymerisation (NMP), and redox catalysis.
Phosphocolamines
Essential biochemical building blocks for phospholipid synthesis - the foundation of healthy cell membranes. VUP supplies high-purity Colamin Phosphate and its salts, crucial for supplement, veterinary, and pharmaceutical applications.
