Product Description
Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC)
Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) is an inorganic polymer coagulant used extensively for water treatment and purification. It is a highly efficient flocculating agent, derived from aluminum salts and partially neutralized with chloride, forming polymerized aluminum complexes. PAC is preferred over traditional alum for its rapid floc formation, broader pH range, and lower sludge production. Available in both liquid and powder forms, it is widely applied in municipal, industrial, and commercial sectors for clarification, separation, and purification processes.
Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP)
Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is a white, granular or powdery inorganic compound composed of sodium and metaphosphoric acid polymers. It is highly soluble in water and acts as an effective sequestrant, dispersing agent, and water softener. SHMP is widely used across various industries including food processing, water treatment, detergents, ceramics, and metallurgy. It helps control hardness, prevent scale formation, and stabilize formulations, making it valuable in both industrial and consumer applications.
Sodium Hypochlorite 10-12% (Jik)
Sodium Hypochlorite 10-12% (commonly known as Jik) is a clear to pale greenish-yellow liquid with a strong chlorine odor. It is a widely used disinfectant and bleaching agent, known for its powerful oxidizing properties. This grade is commonly employed in household cleaning, water treatment, and industrial sanitation processes. It is effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, making it a popular choice for disinfection and sterilization.
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 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.
