  • Selling Points
    Varsal’s MSA process is clean with no methyl mercaptan odor, and our process conditions do not typically allow formation of methyl esters. It is approved for use in all major tin-lead applications, and low oxidizables and chlorides ensure long life, stable solder deposits. Varsal’s clean process promotes “Green Chemistry” with less environmental impact from sludge. It also provides superior throwing power to allow high-speed tin-lead alloy plating in reel-to-reel operations.

    We offer a variety of different grades, and can customize to your specific technical requirements.

  • TosMIC Whitepaper

    Whitepaper TosMIC Whitepaper

    With three important chemical groups—specifically, an isocyanide, a tosyl and an acidic α-carbon in-between—contained within its structure, TosMIC (CAS# 36635-61-7) is a versatile synthetic reagent and building block in organic synthesis. This technical whitepaper highlights three mission-critical industrial applications, namely TosMIC’s roles in converting carbonyl groups to nitriles as a cyanating reagent; synthesizing heterocyclic compounds such as oxazoles, imidazoles and pyrroles; and preparing Knoevenagel-type condensation products.
