Product Description
Mono Ethanol Amine
Mono Ethanol Amine (MEA) is a clear, colorless, hygroscopic liquid with an ammonia-like odor. It is an organic chemical compound combining both amine and alcohol functional groups. MEA is widely used as a versatile chemical intermediate and is especially important in gas treatment, detergents, and chemical manufacturing due to its alkalinity and solubility in water and organic solvents.
Sodium Metasilicate Anhydrous
Sodium Metasilicate Anhydrous is a white crystalline solid known for its alkaline properties and high solubility in water. It is widely used in industrial cleaning, detergent formulations, water treatment, and as a corrosion inhibitor. The anhydrous form is preferred where moisture sensitivity is a concern. It acts as a strong alkaline builder, improving the effectiveness of detergents and degreasers. This product is also used in adhesives, cement, and ceramics due to its binding and strengthening properties.
Sodium Perborate
Sodium Perborate is a white crystalline oxidizing compound with the chemical formula NaBO₃·nH₂O (typically tetrahydrate or monohydrate). This versatile chemical serves as a stable, eco-friendly bleaching agent and disinfectant, widely used in detergents, cleaning products, and personal care formulations. Its controlled oxygen release makes it valuable for gentle stain removal and antimicrobial applications while being more environmentally favorable than chlorine-based alternatives.
Sodium Sulphite (BLUE)
Sodium Sulphite (Blue grade) is a white to bluish-white crystalline powder with the chemical formula Na₂SO₃. The “Blue” grade indicates a specific industrial quality often containing minor additives or impurities, used primarily in water treatment and chemical industries. It acts as an effective oxygen scavenger, reducing agent, and preservative. This 25kg packaged product is highly soluble in water, forming alkaline solutions, and is widely used in pulp and paper, water treatment, textile, and photographic industries.
Tally Oil Acid
Tally Oil Acid is a fatty acid derived from tall oil, a byproduct of the kraft pulping process in the paper industry. It contains a mixture of fatty acids, mainly oleic and linoleic acids, and is used as a raw material in chemical manufacturing, soaps, lubricants, and other industrial applications. The product is valued for its renewable origin and versatile chemical properties.
Tetrasodium EDTA
v
Tetrasodium EDTA is the tetrasodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, a powerful chelating agent widely used in industrial, personal care, and pharmaceutical applications. It effectively binds metal ions such as calcium and magnesium, preventing their interference in formulations. Its ability to enhance stability, improve efficacy, and prevent microbial growth makes it a multifunctional ingredient in a variety of chemical products.
Triethanolamine
Triethanolamine (TEA) is a viscous, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild ammonia-like odor. It is a multifunctional organic compound widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, surfactant, and corrosion inhibitor. Triethanolamine neutralizes fatty acids to form soaps and helps stabilize emulsions, making it essential in personal care formulations and various chemical manufacturing processes. Its versatility and compatibility with other ingredients make it a valuable additive in numerous industries.
