About Nelson Brothers Specialty Chemicals
Building on decades of experience manufacturing PIBSA-based emulsifiers for emulsion explosives and finished emulsions for the commercial explosives industry, Nelson Brothers Specialty Chemicals was established to bring that same expertise to a broader range of industrial markets.
Our capabilities have expanded well beyond explosives-focused chemistries into a full suite of anhydride-based technologies: including PIBSAs, ASAs, dispersants, emulsifiers, and detergents. These chemistries are applied as vital intermediates in industries such as oil and gas, transportation lubricants, metalworking fluids, and water science.Â
What We Do
Our specialty chemical technologies are designed and manufactured in purpose-built facilities using processes that prioritize consistency, safety, and efficiency. We partner directly with formulators, blenders, and manufacturers to deliver:
- High-performing anhydride chemistries such as PIBSAs and ASAs
- Emulsifiers, dispersants, and detergents
- Customizable performance components tailored to specific application needs
- Technical support from lab development through commercial production
Whether supporting oil and gas operations, industrial lubricants, metalworking fluids, or water treatment systems, our focus remains the same: reliable chemistry backed by responsive, knowledgeable service.
Built on Partnership
Our success is rooted in the relationships we build—with our customers, our suppliers, and our employees. We believe that the most effective solutions come from collaboration, transparency, and a willingness to understand challenges at both the formulation and operational levels. This partnership-driven approach guides our work every day.
