The question is often asked of us, "what do you manufacture?" The
answer covers a variety of products and product types. The reason
is that we are a custom chemical manufacturer with the flexibility
to manufacture a wide variety of materials.
Most of the products we offer are proprietary
in nature and are designed for specific customers. It is for this
reason that Mobile Rosin Oil
Company does not have a thick "catalog of names" to offer,
because most materials are individually developed and are proprietary
in nature, using product/need application for the customers we
serve.
Since 1924 Mobile Rosin Oil Company has engaged
in this type
of custom chemical manufacturing. As such, we specialize in using
chemicals
from the pine tree. Rosin is an organic acid. As such, it is subject
to the various chemical reactions of any organic acid. One simple
example of this is saponification. In this case rosin is reacted
with an alkali to form a soap. We have manufactured a line of rosin
soaps for more than 30 years.
Other reactions such as esterification of rosins
or tall oils can be carried out. As is the case with our general
approach we prefer
to work on a "product application" basis, wherein we
find a need and fulfill it, or match the need, which a customer
may have.
We always like to approach our sales effort in a manner that will
offer a similar product at a better cost or a superior product
at the same cost. In that way we feel that we have much to offer
a prospective
customer.
A term
we often apply to ourselves is "we are too small to be big,
but too big to be small". Viewed against some of the giants
of our industry, we are small, but we routinely put in excess of
25 million pounds of a variety of finished goods through our plant
in a year’s time. We have the ability to custom blend, or
custom react products for any given application or customers. This
forms the basis upon which this company has prospered for over seventy
years.
Shipments are made domestically in 23,000 gallon
or 20,000 gallon rail tank cars, in 6,000 gallon tank trucks, or
in truckload and
less than truckload drum lots. Finished goods inventories are
carried to promptly serve customers with established use patterns.
