Hydrazine

Our Ultra Pure™hydrazine propellant reliably propels the majority of the world’s satellites. Arch monomethylhydrazine provides the power to maneuver the space shuttle in orbit and to bring it safely back to earth.

Arch hydrazine hydrate is used to produce many of the blowing agents used to expand plastics and rubber to make them lighter, more resilient and better insulating. Large volumes of hydrazine hydrate are used in the industrial water treating business to remove dissolved oxygen from boiler water, preventing millions of dollars of corrosion damage yearly. Hydrazine hydrate is an important raw material in the production of many of the new wonder drugs used to treat arthritis, insomnia, stress and erectile dysfunction.
