n-HEPTANOIC ACID

These straight chain mol­ecules could impart supe­rior properties to the end products you have in mind. These end products are, of course, your business. Our business is produc­tion of the chemical inter­mediates you need to make them. ATOCHEM manufactures chemicals in huge quantities in France and sells them all over the world. We think users of short chain acids and alcohols should turn our enormous production capability to their own advantage to help themselves turn a greater profit. We're also convinced that users of linear molecules with C5 to C9 Carbon atoms

should take a long hard lookattheC7alternatives. Each is pure enough to use as a single key mol­ecule for a specific end use, yet stable enough to include in a pool of raw materials that must meet overall specifications. We can help you explore new ideas and new appli­cations for our C7 alterna­tives. ATOCHEM groupe elf equitaine, La Défense 5-Cedex 24,92091 Paris La Défense (France) Tel.
