- Amines used in the synthesis of active principles,
- Oxygenated solvents derived from acetone used in particular for the extraction of natural active principles
- Thiochemical derivatives, including:

• DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) widely used as a reaction solvent in pharmaceutical synthesis and as a cleaning agent,
• its sulfonyl range including methane sulfonic acid particularly well suited to API preparation in its anhydrous form, and as an acid catalyst in its aqueous form,
• as well as methane sulfonyl chloride as a synthesis intermediate

It will be also the opportunity  for Arkema to explain its last development : in order to comply with the requirements of the european pharmacopia, Arkema has improved its manufacturing process and can now propose an anhydrous methane sulfonic acid AMSA, with one of the lowest level of the market in impurities such as IMS, CMS (<10PPM) and EMS and MMA (<2PPM), as well as a the best purity of the market (99,5%).
