Cannabis and Hemp Extraction
Cannabis and hemp processors use high-purity solvents for botanical extraction, winterization, and distillation. Ethanol is the most widely used extraction solvent due to its efficiency, safety profile, and regulatory acceptance. RightPath Industries is a Top 10 US ethanol distributor with competitive bulk pricing for extraction operations.
Common products for extraction: 200-proof ethanol (undenatured and denatured), n-heptane, isopropyl alcohol, hexanes, and activated carbon. Available in drums, totes, and tanker quantities for high-volume operations.
Chemical Manufacturing
Chemical manufacturers and formulators rely on consistent-quality raw materials at competitive pricing. RightPath supplies production-grade and technical-grade solvents, acids, and intermediates used in downstream chemical synthesis, blending, and formulation.
Common products for chemical manufacturing: Technical ethanol, methanol, toluene, xylenes, acetone, MEK, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, sodium hydroxide.
Paints, Coatings, and Adhesives
Coatings manufacturers need bulk quantities of solvents with consistent evaporation rates and solvency characteristics. RightPath provides the aromatic and oxygenated solvents used in paint formulation, industrial coatings, and adhesive production.
Common products for coatings: Toluene, xylenes, MEK, n-butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, glycol ethers (butyl cellosolve, PM, PM acetate), n-butanol.
Food and Beverage Processing
Food and beverage manufacturers require food-grade and USP-grade chemicals for extraction, pH adjustment, sanitization, and processing. RightPath supplies chemicals that meet FDA and GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) requirements.
Common products for food and beverage: Food-grade ethanol, USP propylene glycol, food-grade citric acid, food-grade phosphoric acid, food-grade acetic acid (glacial), USP glycerin.
Oil and Gas
The oil and gas industry uses specialty chemicals for drilling fluids, completion brines, production chemicals, and refinery processes. RightPath supplies the bromine chemicals and industrial solvents used across upstream and downstream operations.
Common products for oil and gas: Calcium bromide, zinc bromide, sodium bromide, methanol, ethylene glycol, triethylene glycol (TEG), toluene, xylenes, hydrochloric acid.
Personal Care and Cosmetics
Personal care product manufacturers use solvents, glycols, and specialty chemicals as carriers, humectants, and processing aids. RightPath supplies USP and cosmetic-grade ingredients for lotions, shampoos, fragrances, and other personal care formulations.
Common products for personal care: USP propylene glycol, USP isopropyl alcohol, USP ethanol, polyethylene glycol (various molecular weights), glycerin, cetyl alcohol, isopropyl myristate.
HVAC and Facility Maintenance
HVAC contractors and facility managers use glycols for heat transfer, antifreeze, and system maintenance. RightPath provides both propylene glycol (non-toxic, for potable water systems) and ethylene glycol (higher efficiency, for closed-loop systems) in bulk quantities.
Common products for HVAC: Propylene glycol (inhibited and uninhibited), ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol (for cleaning).
Electronics and Semiconductor Manufacturing
Electronics manufacturing requires ultra-high-purity solvents for cleaning, degreasing, and process applications where trace contamination can cause defects. RightPath supplies HPLC and electronic-grade solvents for critical cleaning applications.
Common products for electronics: HPLC isopropyl alcohol, HPLC acetone, HPLC methanol, n-hexane, dichloromethane.
