Versatic Acid 10 can be used in its acid form, but for many applications the product is typically first converted into an acid chloride or metal salt. The acid chloride is produced by reaction with, for example, phosgene or PCl₃ and is used in the production of peroxides for polymer production. Metal salts, e.g. Cobalt, Copper or Zinc salts of Versatic Acid 10 are used in applications such as tire adhesives, paint driers, PVC heat stabilisers, chemical processing catalysts, unsaturated polyester cure catalysts, wood preservatives and fuel additives. Additionally, Versatic Acid 10 acid is a very effective metal extraction agent that is particularly suitable for Nickel. The acid can also be used as corrosion inhibitor in synthetic lubricants.

Potassium hydroxide flakes is an inorganic compound with the formula KOH, and is commonly called caustic potash.

Along with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), this colorless solid is a prototypical strong base. It has many industrial and niche applications, most of which exploit its corrosive nature and its reactivity toward acids. An estimated 700,000 to 800,000 tonnes were produced in 2005. Approximately 100 times more NaOH than KOH is produced annually.^[10]KOH is noteworthy as the precursor to most soft and liquid soaps as well as numerous potassium-containing chemicals.

Palmitic acid, or hexadecanoic acid in IUPAC nomenclature, is the most common saturated fatty acid found in animals, plants and microorganisms. Its chemical formulais CH₃(CH₂)₁₄COOH, and its C:D is 16:0. As its name indicates, it is a major component of the oil from the fruit of oil palms (palm oil). Palmitic acid can also be found in meats, cheeses, butter, and dairy products. Palmitate is the salts and esters of palmitic acid. The palmitate anion is the observed form of palmitic acid at physiologic pH (7.4).
Aluminium salts of palmitic acid and naphthenic acid were combined during World War II to produce napalm. The word "napalm" is derived from the words naphthenic acid and palmitic acid.
Palmitic acid is used to produce soaps, cosmetics, and industrial mold release agents. These applications use sodium palmitate, which is commonly obtained by saponification of palm oil. To this end, palm oil, rendered from palm tree (species Elaeis guineensis), is treated with sodium hydroxide (in the form of caustic soda or lye), which causes hydrolysis of the ester groups, yielding glycerol and sodium palmitate.

Butyraldehyde can be produced by the catalytic dehydrogenation of n-butanol. At one time, it was produced industrially by the catalytic hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde, which is derived from acetaldehyde.^[2]

Upon prolonged exposure to air, butyraldehyde oxidizes to form butyric acid.
