Raw materials for metalworking, surface treatment, cleaning, and process chemistry

RawSource supplies the base chemicals that industrial manufacturers consume in metalworking fluids, parts cleaning, surface treatment, corrosion protection, and process lubrication. We supply silicone-based defoamers and process aids, and source the full range of amines, solvents, corrosion inhibitors, and specialty additives through our global network.

Whether you're formulating water-soluble cutting fluids, alkaline cleaners, phosphate conversion coatings, or industrial lubricants — we supply the raw material inputs your production needs at bulk scale.

Jump straight to the chemistry you need — each guide explains the types, how to select, and routes you to the specific grades we supply.

Metalworking Fluid Additives
Which additive does which job in a water-dilutable coolant — base oil, emulsifier, alkanolamine pH/reserve-alkalinity builder, yellow- and ferrous-metal corrosion inhibitor, defoamer and microbial-control component — across soluble-oil, semi-synthetic and synthetic fluids.

Cleaning & Degreasing
Build a parts-washing or metal-prep bath from the right nonionic surfactants, alkaline builders, chelants and solvents — matched to soil type, substrate (ferrous vs yellow metal) and spray-vs-immersion equipment.
Explore →
Corrosion Inhibitors & Rust Preventives
Anodic, cathodic and film-forming inhibitors, azoles for copper/yellow metals, and vapor-phase (VCI) chemistries for in-process protection, rust-preventive fluids and packaging.
Explore →
Industrial Solvents
Choose a degreasing, thinning or reaction solvent by evaporation rate, solvency (KB/Hansen) and flash point — from fast hydrocarbons to slower glycol ethers and higher-flash bio-solvents.
Explore →
Epoxy Curing Agents & Adhesive/Composite Curing
Select the hardener — aliphatic/cycloaliphatic amine, polyetheramine, imidazole, anhydride or latent — by pot life, cure temperature and end-use for adhesives, tooling, potting and composites.

Silicones — Mold Release, Process Aids & Defoaming
Silicone fluids, emulsions and antifoams for mold release, slip and water-repellency, plus process foam control — with non-silicone options where downstream paint or bond adhesion must be protected.

Fine-Chemical Intermediates
Halo-aromatic and nitrile building blocks and reactive amines for agrochemical, dye and specialty-chemical synthesis — sourced by CAS to spec.
