How the System Works

SurplusChem.com is owned and operated by Emergent Industrial Solutions, Inc. and is free to all users. The system is designed to provide visibility to both buyers and sellers for surplus chemicals, old inventory, off-spec materials, co-products and recycled or recyclable chemicals. It allows users to list and search for chemicals available and chemicals wanted, find opportunities, and close transactions to the mutual benefit of the buyer and seller. While searching does not require registration, posting chemicals available or wanted and making offers for listed chemicals online do.
