Full-Service Supplier

Rock Chemicals, Inc. offers a large inventory of qualitative commodity and specialty chemicals for coal testing, solvent extraction, and water treatment, serving customers both domestically and internationally. We streamline the ordering process by providing all the chemicals you need to keep testing and production running quickly and efficiently at a competitive price.

A key application we serve is the float-sink analysis method, outlined in ASTM method D4371-06, which is used to determine how much coal can be separated from rock and mineral matter in fluids of different densities. This analysis is performed on coal samples from beds that require washing (beneficiation) to remove sulfur or ash to meet end-user specifications. We supply the chemicals used in this process, helping coal producers and laboratories run accurate, reliable float-sink tests.

Large Inventory and Short Lead Times

We have an extensive national and international supply chain and offer bundle packages on both commodity and specialty chemicals used in coal testing, solvent extraction, and water treatment operations. Dibromomethane is a specialty chemical that can be difficult to source. Rock Chemicals stocks this chemical specifically to reduce lead times for our coal industry customers. For commodity chemicals like Mineral Spirits and VM&P Naphtha, our broad supply chain allows us to be highly price competitive with reliable, short lead times.

Superior Customer Service

Our customers in the coal industry count on us for fast response times, reliable supply, and straightforward pricing. We respond typically within the same business day and work to build supply relationships that hold up over the long term.
