Wholesale Industrial Chemicals & Solvents
The "Shadow Market" for Technical Grade Chemistry.
Most industrial surplus never reaches the public market. It moves privately between major manufacturers and a closed network of agile buyers. Waste Optima is one of the gatekeepers of that network.
We secure spot lots of surplus chemicals directly from the source—verified, and significantly below spot market indices.
Stop Paying Distributor Markups on Commodity Chemistry
If you are buying 100% of your chemical inputs from primary distributors, you are paying for logistics, storage, and sales commissions.
The Waste Optima Sourcing Network bypasses the middleman. We identify "distressed" inventory—prime material that is overstocked, short-dated, or in discontinued packaging—and route it directly to your facility.
The Advantage:
Price: Acquire technical grade solvents and inputs at significant savings.
Speed: Domestic inventory ready to ship. No port delays.
Quality: Original manufacturer packaging with full traceability.

- Applications: Heat transfer fluids, de-icing, industrial cooling.
Solvents & Alcohols
- Materials: Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), Acetone, Methanol, Ethanol (SDA).
- Applications: Industrial cleaning, extraction, surface prep.
Acids & Bases
- Materials: Phosphoric Acid, Citric Acid (Dry/Liquid), Caustic Soda beads.
- Applications: pH adjustment, water treatment, metal finishing.
Verified Specs. No "Mystery Drums."
The secondary market has a reputation for risk. We eliminate it. We do not act as a "junk removal" service; we act as an industrial broker.
Our Guarantee to the Network:
COA on Request: We never sell a chemical lot without a manufacturer Certificate of Analysis. You verify the specific gravity, purity, and water content before you buy.
Sealed Inventory: We prioritize virgin surplus in original, unopened drums and totes.
Clear Classification: If material is "reclaimed" or "off-spec," it is explicitly labeled. If it is "surplus," it meets original virgin specs.
Get the "Drop" Before Your Competitors
We do not post live inventory online because the best lots sell in 48 hours. They go to the email list first.
If you buy more than one pallet of chemicals a month, you need to be on this list.
Common Questions About Buying Surplus Chemicals
Q: Is surplus Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) safe for production? A: Yes, provided it is virgin surplus and not reclaimed. Waste Optima verifies that surplus solvents come with a valid COA confirming purity (typically 99%+) and that they have not been cross-contaminated.
Q: Why is technical grade surplus cheaper? A: It is not "cheap" because of quality issues; it is discounted because of logistical urgency. A seller needs the warehouse space immediately, allowing us to negotiate a lower price for buyers who can take the volume quickly.
