  • Ethox Chemicals Celebrating 50 years!
    May 22, 2018
    CUsersJonathanCreative Cloud FilesLicensed Stock50th anniversary [Converted]

    Ethox Chemicals is a part of the Piedmont Chemical Group, which includes six companies. Piedmont Chemical Industries was founded in 1938 by Fred E. Wilson, Sr. to serve the textile industry in the southeast. What started as a small, two-man operation has today grown to include six companies in three states servicing a wide variety of industries. In 1938, after working as a salesman in the chemical industries for several years, Fred Wilson, Sr. decided to set out on his own and started Piedmont Color and Chemical, later to become Piedmont Chemical Industries. Piedmont enjoyed conservative but steady growth through its early years. By the 1960’s, it became evident that there was a need for a specialty raw material supply for the textile chemical market. As a result, Fred Sr. (along with his son, Fred Wilson, Jr. – the company’s current chairman) founded Ethox Chemicals in Greenville, SC. Ethox was able to supply much needed raw materials, allowing Piedmont to keep growing in the textile industry, while simultaneously entering the surfactant market. Over the years Ethox has diversified and that diversification has paid off, as Ethox is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Ethox has successfully weathered economic changes through diversification into many different industries, which today include: oil & gas, agriculture, personal care, metalworking, HI&I, paints & coatings, mining, and textile auxiliaries.

    Pigment Dispersant

     

    When consumers open a can of paint, they expect it to have perfect pigment dispersion. What they do not want to find is paint that is too thick that leaves brush strokes on their living room walls or poor color development which prevents consistent touch ups of painted surfaces. This is where having the right pigment dispersants becomes vital.

  • How to reduce mining costs while increasing productivity
    Dec 18, 2017

    Recovering minerals using chemical leaching is a great way to maximize your mining operations. In the recovery of gold, a cyanide solution is evenly distributed across the top of the heap. The common problem is the flow of the solution quickly slows due to the ore's natural composition. This creates a long and extended leaching process, adding to operating costs and reducing the amount of gold recovered.
