For nearly a century, we’ve focused on the needs ofindustry with natural-source products designed forhigh performance. From our roots as a small linseedprocessing company, we’ve grown into a marketleader offering linseed oils, soybean oils and copoly-mer oils.

Linseed OilsManufacturers are using our raw linseed oil for main-tenance primers and putting our varnish oils to workin kettle-bodied oils and varnishes.

Our heat-bodied linseed oils—the OKO™ andAlinco™ series—are the finest on the market. OKOseries vacuum-bodied oils offer low acid numbers and

exceptionally light color for varnishes and aluminumpaints. And the Alinco series delivers closed-kettleoils in a medium acid range for varnishes, inks, andhouse paints and primers.

For a more varnish-like performance, our specialtyoils selection includes copolymers with good solubilityin petroleum-type thinners and solvents. Or choosefrom fast-drying oils and anti-spalling compounds forother high-performance applications.

Soybean OilsOur soybean oils are providing natural, biodegradableoptions for a variety of industries and applications.

In the printing industry, our soybean oils arethe basis for inks that deliver high-gloss, goodcolor-quality production compara-ble to petroleum-based inks.Printers particularly like them fortheir non-toxic, environmentallyfriendly qualities.

And candle makers are using soybean oil instead ofparaffin to make cleaner-burning, natural candle wax.

F or high performance in any application,you can’t top ADM’s naturally derived emulsifiers and thickeners. From xanthan gum

to lecithin and monoglycerides, you’ll find a broadrange of biodegradable products in our portfolio.

Xanthan GumA standout ingredient in a myriad of applications,OptiXan™ xanthan gum delivers high viscosity at lowconcentrations.

Try OptiXan xanthan gum in paints and coatings forits thickening and stabilizing abilities and to preventsettling. It prevents pigment separation, improvessprayability, and enhances resistance. And with typi-cal use levels at lower percentages of total formulationthan other products, it’s one of the most cost-effectivethickeners available.

Put it to work in the oilfield for its excellent shearthinning and suspensionproperties, and experiencethe benefits of higher pene-tration rates, less formationdamage, and fewer circula-tion pressure losses.

OptiXan products are also effective in a variety ofpersonal care applications. They thicken shampooand body wash, help suspend particles in novelty and glitter makeup, and improve mouthfeel in toothpaste.

In addition, OptiXan xanthan gum is a key ingredi-ent in advanced no-drip and slow-release cleanersand an important component in ceramics, where itpromotes thick, even glazes on both regular and irreg-ular surfaces.

Lecithin-Based EmulsifiersWhether you’re looking to improve pigment disper-sion for your paint, improve mold release in yourpolymer preparation, or increase throughput in yourplastics extrusion, our extensive lecithin-based product line has what you need for a broad range of applications.

Emulsifiers & Thickeners

Our selection includes Stablec™, R&R 551™, Yelkin®,and Ultralec® lecithins that act as instantizers and wet-ting agents in both oil- and water-based paints, reducing mixing times and increasing covering powerat lower costs.

In oil well drilling muds, they’re lubricating drillbits and reducing friction for lower maintenancecosts, and their emulsifying capabilities enhanceactive ingredients in herbicides, pesticides, and fungi-cides for better transport to plants or insects.

Added to personal care products like cosmetics,bath foams, and shaving gels, our lecithins providestable emulsions and help soften skin without agreasy skinfeel.

And by blending our lecithins with diluents suchas soy oil, mineral oil, water, and alcohol or by usingpre-diluted versions, our lecithins help create superior release formulations, giving them new,stronger functionality for plastic, rubber, fiberglass,concrete forms, and ceramics applications. Thanksto our ingredients, manufacturers are reducing energyrequirements, improving internal release, andreducing downtime.

Whether you’re producing glossy colorcopy paper, gypsum wallboard, or price-sensitive corrugated containers, ADM’s

incredible range of natural-source starches has renew-able, high-quality products that perform for you.

Use our cationic wet-end corn starches to increaseyour paper’s dry strength so you can add more fillers or secondary fiber. They’re effective in all papermaking systems: acid, neutral, alkaline, and secondary fiber.

Our hydroxyethyl corn starches’ film-forming abili-ties make them ideal for size press coating and calen-dar sizing. They form continuous films that stay onsubstrate surfaces and have more transparency andflexibility and less tendency to shrink, crack, or craze.

Excellent adhesive strength helps our starches perform well in corrugating and solid-fiber applica-tions, and they’re excellent for textile applicationssuch as warp sizing and laundry starch.

When you want fast-drying seal adhesive forenvelopes, high-quality gumming adhesives for labelsand stamps, and paper tape adhesives that absorbmoisture evenly, yet provide quick tack and slow set,choose ADM dextrins. We also have the products youneed for laminating, wallpaper, bags, corrugatedboxes, and tube winding. And we even offer highlysoluble dextrins that act as iron oxide flocculants,depressants, and flotation agents for mining.

The construction industry puts our acid-modifiedstarches to work as protective colloids for gypsumwallboard and uses our starch blends to seal gypsumwallboard edges. Our phosphate starches are thickening and binding joint compounds, paints, and finishing textures, and our unmodified starches areeffective internal binders in woodfiber, waferboard,

W ith ADM as your partner, plastics andcoatings made from renewable, sustain-able resources may soon be reality.

Through an alliance with Metabolix, Inc., ADM isdeveloping a family of versatile, biologically derivedpolyesters (polyhydroxyalkanoates or PHAs). Thesecost-effective polymers will revolutionize plasticsmanufacturing as we know it.

In fact, Forbes magazine called PHA “one of fivemolecules that will change the world.”

PHAs biodegrade rapidly, even in anaerobic environments. Stable in water, they also biodegrade infresh water, marine, soil, and composting environments.

ADM is exploring the use of glucose from corn toproduce PHAs through an innovative, fully biologicalfermentation method Metabolix developed.

The broad-ranging PHA family is expected toinclude polymers and copolymers with a variety ofproperties for high performance in a variety of appli-cations, from rigid and flexible plastic to rubbery andadhesive materials. Potential applications range fromwater-resistant paper coatings, composting films, andgeotextile netting to injection molding, non-wovenfabrics like flushable wipes, and more.
