Using these products mean you will be playing an active role in the circular economy as well as cutting your consumption of fossil resources, and your carbon footprint.

  • Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
  • N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone
  • Isopropyl acetate (AIP)
  • Acetone
  • Isopropanol (IPA)
  • Tetrahydrofuran (THF)
  • Ethyl acetate (AE)
  • Acetonitrile (ACN)
  • White spirit
  • Mixed cleaning solvent
  • Eco-paint
  • Toluene
  • Isobutyl acetate (AIB)
  • Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)

Our comprehensive solvent management service

Managing a solvent loop is often a delicate operation. Whether the solvent is used continuously or periodically, the process requires skills is a variety of areas:

  • Logistical: we make regular deliveries and collections all over Europe, using our fleet of iso-containers, our fixed storage facilities and our relationships with several international logistics partners. 
  • Operational: we excel in  regeneration, maximizing output and quality.
  • Organizational: we provide the exact quantities of new solvents you require at the best price.

Regulatory: we check waste flows and have reliable disposal channels.

A key asset for sovereignty

Speichim Processing and Valls Química play a key role in the sovereignty of the European chemical industry.

Their regenerated products serve as substitutes for supplies that are predominantly sourced from outside Europe.

This relocation of critical input production directly helps reduce risks related to the availability and costs of imported products.
