Frequently Asked Questions

We supply industrial solvents, acids, glycols, water treatment chemicals, caustics and alkalis, surfactants, lubricants and metalworking fluids, phosphates and corrosion inhibitors, ketones and aldehydes, and plasticizers to manufacturers, blenders, and water treatment operators across Texas. Our product line covers industrial, FCC Food Grade, ACS, and USP grades — all sourced from top-tier manufacturers including Dow, BASF, ExxonMobil, and Eastman. Every order ships with full SDS documentation and lot traceability built in.

We supply from a single drum all the way up to full bulk tanker deliveries. There is no rigid minimum. We work with facilities at whatever volume makes sense for their operation — whether that's a 55-gallon drum for a specialty run or a 6,000-gallon tanker for a high-volume production line. Call 855-TEX-CHEM or email [email protected] to talk through your volume.

Yes. We supply FCC Food Grade solvents, glycols, and other chemicals sourced directly from verified manufacturers including Dow, BASF, ExxonMobil, and Eastman. Every FCC Food Grade order ships with a current SDS and full lot traceability. If your facility requires food-grade certification documentation for compliance or audit purposes, we have it ready to go on every shipment.

Every order ships with a current Safety Data Sheet and lot number documentation traceable back to the original manufacturer batch. We don't chase paperwork after the fact — it's built into every transaction. This keeps your EHS team compliant and your facility audit-ready without added administrative work on your end. If you ever need to pull documentation for a past order, your dedicated representative has it on file.

We source from Dow, BASF, ExxonMobil, and Eastman — the same top-tier producers that supply the largest chemical distributors in the country. The difference is you get that manufacturer-level sourcing with a dedicated representative who knows your business, not a call center and a case number.

We serve industrial buyers across all of Texas. Primary coverage includes Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi, Beaumont, Midland-Odessa, Laredo, and El Paso. If your facility is in Texas, we can supply it. Call 855-TEX-CHEM to confirm delivery logistics and timing for your specific location.

Industrial grade chemicals meet the purity standards required for manufacturing, cleaning, and process applications where pharmaceutical or food-grade certification isn't required. ACS (American Chemical Society) reagent grade meets stricter purity limits and is used in laboratory, analytical, and research applications. USP grade meets United States Pharmacopeia standards for pharmaceutical use. FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) grade is certified safe for food contact applications. We carry all four grades and can advise on which is appropriate for your specific application — call 855-TEX-CHEM or email [email protected].

Yes. We supply water treatment chemicals to municipal water facilities, industrial cooling tower operations, boiler treatment systems, and wastewater treatment plants across Texas. Products come with full SDS documentation, lot traceability, and consistent availability. We understand production schedules and compliance requirements in water treatment — your dedicated representative will too.

Our pricing is competitive with national distributors because we source from the same manufacturers they do. Where we differ is service: you get a dedicated representative who knows your account, your deadlines, and your compliance requirements — not a call center. Our number-one goal is to cut your costs without sacrificing quality. Call 855-TEX-CHEM for a quote on your current chemical program and we'll show you the comparison directly.

Yes. We deliver industrial solvents in drum, tote, and full bulk tanker quantities. Bulk tanker delivery is available for high-volume buyers across Texas. Solvents are sourced from ExxonMobil, Eastman, and other top-tier producers and shipped with full SDS and lot documentation. Contact us at 855-TEX-CHEM or [email protected] to discuss bulk pricing and scheduling.

Yes. We work with chemical blenders across Texas and understand the unique requirements of blending operations — precise grades, consistent lot quality, reliable delivery scheduling, and clean compliance documentation. We supply the raw materials your blending operation needs, from industrial solvents and glycols to specialty chemicals, with the flexibility to scale from drum quantities to tanker loads as your production demands change.

Propylene glycol (PG) is used in industrial heat transfer fluids, antifreeze formulations, deicing agents, and as a solvent carrier in a range of manufacturing processes. We supply propylene glycol in industrial and USP/FCC Food Grade, sourced from Dow and BASF. If you're unsure which grade your application requires, call 855-TEX-CHEM — we'll point you to the right spec quickly.

Call 855-TEX-CHEM or email [email protected]. Tell us what you need — product, grade, and approximate volume — and we'll come back with pricing, lead time, and availability. Most quotes are turned around same day. You'll work directly with a representative who knows the product line and can answer technical questions on the spot, not a form submission that routes to a queue.

Yes. That's one of the things that separates us from national distributors. Every account — from a single-drum buyer to a multi-tanker production facility — gets a dedicated representative who knows your business, your production schedule, and your compliance requirements. One point of contact, from the first call to the final delivery. If something goes sideways, you know exactly who to call.

Every shipment from Chemical & Filtration Products of Texas includes a current Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and lot traceability documentation. For FCC Food Grade, ACS, and USP grade products, we can also provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) from the manufacturer. All documentation is organized and on file with your account representative for easy retrieval during audits or inspections.
