Aluminum hydroxide
Aluminum Hydroxide, chemically known as Al(OH)₃, is a white, odorless, and odorless powder or gelatinous substance. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals as an antacid to neutralize stomach acid and relieve indigestion and heartburn. Beyond healthcare, aluminum hydroxide is a crucial component in water purification, fire retardants, and as a precursor or filler in various industrial applications. It functions as a flame retardant by releasing water upon heating, thus cooling the material and diluting flammable gases. Due to its amphoteric nature, it can react both as an acid and base, enhancing its versatility. Aluminum hydroxide is often utilized in manufacturing aluminum salts and in producing aluminum oxide.
Calcined Kaolin
$ 1.20
Calcined Kaolin is a fine, white to off-white powder produced by heating natural kaolin clay to high temperatures (typically between 600°C and 900°C) in a controlled process called calcination. This thermal treatment removes chemically bound water, changes the crystalline structure, and enhances the physical and chemical properties of kaolin. The resulting product exhibits increased brightness, hardness, and opacity, making it highly valuable as a functional additive and filler in numerous industrial applications. Calcined Kaolin is widely used in coatings, ceramics, plastics, rubber, paper, and paint industries to improve durability, brightness, and performance.
Calcium Sulphate
Calcium Sulphate is an inorganic compound composed of calcium, sulfur, and oxygen, commonly found in two forms: dihydrate (gypsum, CaSO4·2H2O) and anhydrous (CaSO4). It appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder or granules with low solubility in water. Calcium Sulphate is widely used in construction, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food industry, and various industrial applications. It acts as a filler, hardening agent, and drying agent due to its physical and chemical properties. The dihydrate form (gypsum) is notable for use in plaster and cement, while the anhydrous form is often used as a drying agent and in refractory materials.
Corn Starch Industrial Grade
Corn Starch Industrial Grade is a finely milled, white powder derived from the endosperm of maize (Zea mays). Unlike food-grade starch, industrial grade is tailored for non-food applications where its thickening, adhesive, and film-forming properties are exploited. It consists primarily of amylose and amylopectin polysaccharides and is valued for its biodegradability, renewability, and cost-effectiveness. Industrial corn starch is used extensively as a raw material or functional additive across a wide variety of manufacturing processes, including paper, textiles, adhesives, and packaging industries.
Kaolin

Kaolin is a naturally occurring, fine white clay mineral primarily composed of kaolinite. It features a soft, powdery texture and excellent absorbency. Kaolin is widely used across ceramics, paper, rubber, paint, and cosmetics industries due to its chemical inertness, whiteness, and plasticity. It acts as a filler, coating agent, and extender to enhance product quality and performance.
Sodium Alumina Silicate
Sodium Alumina Silicate is an inorganic compound consisting of sodium, aluminum, and silicon oxides. It is typically found as a white, amorphous powder with excellent adsorption and ion-exchange properties. Commonly used as a detergent builder, water softener, and desiccant, sodium alumina silicate improves cleaning efficiency, controls water hardness, and aids moisture absorption. Its thermal stability and chemical inertness make it valuable across detergent manufacturing, water treatment, and various industrial processes.
Sodium Sulphate
Sodium Sulphate (Na₂SO₄) is a white crystalline powder or granule, odorless and highly soluble in water. This 25kg packaged product is widely used in detergents, glass manufacturing, chemical industries, and pulp and paper processing. It acts as a filler, bulking agent, and drying agent, with excellent stability and non-reactivity under standard storage conditions. Its cost-effectiveness and availability make it an essential raw material in many industrial processes.
Xysil Fumed Silica
Xysil Fumed Silica is a high-purity fumed silica produced through flame hydrolysis of silicon tetrachloride. It is an ultra-fine, amorphous, white powder with a very high surface area and low bulk density. Xysil 200 is widely used as a reinforcing filler, thickening agent, anti-caking agent, and rheology modifier in various industrial applications. Its unique physical properties improve the mechanical strength, viscosity, and stability of formulated products.
