Original price was: KSh225.00.Current price is: KSh180.00.
Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) is an inorganic compound that is commonly used as a photographic fixer, as well as in medical and industrial applications. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a mild odor. In photography, sodium thiosulfate is used to remove unexposed silver halide from photographic prints and negatives, making the image permanent. In medicine, it is used as an antidote for cyanide poisoning, and in industrial applications, it is used as a reducing agent, a dechlorinating agent, and in water treatment processes.

Sucrose 500g

Original price was: KSh360.00.Current price is: KSh250.00.
Sucrose is a type of sugar commonly found in many plants, including sugarcane and sugar beets. It's a disaccharide, meaning it's composed of two simpler sugars, glucose and fructose, linked together. Sucrose is often used as a sweetener in food and drinks, and it's what we typically refer to as "table sugar." When we consume sucrose, enzymes in our digestive system break it down into glucose and fructose, which our bodies can then use for energy.

Sulphur Powder 500gm

Original price was: KSh200.00.Current price is: KSh150.00.
Sulphur powder, also known as sulfur powder, is a fine, yellow, odorless powder composed of the element sulfur. It is an abundant, non-metallic element that is found in nature and is widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, including fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and in the production of rubber and paper products. Sulphur powder has antimicrobial properties and is often used as a fungicide or insecticide in agricultural applications. It can also be used as a raw material in the manufacturing of other chemicals and compounds.

Talcum Powder (Talc) 50kg Bag

Original price was: KSh5,000.00.Current price is: KSh4,800.00.
Talcum powder is a fine, white powder made from talc, a naturally occurring mineral composed mainly of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. It is widely used in various cosmetic and personal care products for its ability to absorb moisture, reduce friction, and provide a silky-smooth texture. Talcum powder is often used as a body powder, baby powder, and in some cases as a dry shampoo. However, concerns have been raised about the potential health risks associated with inhaling talc particles, particularly for women who use talcum powder in the genital area.

Tartaric Acid 500gm

Original price was: KSh1,745.00.Current price is: KSh1,550.00.
Tartaric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in many plants, particularly in grapes, bananas, and tamarinds. It is well-known for its significant role in the wine industry, where it helps stabilize the wine and contributes to its taste. Here are some key aspects and uses of tartaric acid:

Chemical Properties

  • Chemical Formula: C4_44​H6_66​O6_66​
  • Molecular Weight: 150.09 g/mol
  • Appearance: White crystalline powder
  • Solubility: Soluble in water and alcohol

Natural Occurrence

Tartaric acid is widely found in nature, predominantly in fruits like grapes, apricots, and apples. The potassium salt of tartaric acid, known as potassium bitartrate or cream of tartar, is a byproduct of winemaking.

Industrial Production

Commercially, tartaric acid is often produced as a byproduct of wine production. The process involves:
  1. Extraction: The sediment left in wine barrels, known as "lees," is treated to extract potassium bitartrate.
  2. Purification: The crude potassium bitartrate is then purified and converted to tartaric acid.

Tetrasodium EDTA 25kg

Original price was: KSh0.01.Current price is: KSh0.00.
Tetra sodium EDTA, also known as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium salt, is a chemical compound commonly used in various industrial and commercial applications. It is a chelating agent, meaning it has the ability to bind and capture metal ions, thus preventing them from reacting with other substances or causing unwanted effects. A concise definition of tetra sodium EDTA would be: "Tetra sodium EDTA is a water-soluble salt derived from ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, used as a chelating agent to bind and sequester metal ions, serving purposes such as metal complexation, stabilization, and preventing undesired chemical reactions."

Thymoil Blue 25gm

Original price was: KSh3,300.00.Current price is: KSh3,000.00.
Thymol blue is a chemical compound that is used as a pH indicator. It typically appears as a greenish-yellow powder and is commonly used in laboratories and in various applications where pH monitoring is necessary, such as in swimming pools and aquariums. In solutions with a pH below 1.2, thymol blue appears yellow, and in solutions with a pH above 2.8, it appears blue. Its color change range makes it useful for indicating acidic to neutral pH levels.

Trilium EDTA 25kg

Original price was: KSh25,000.00.Current price is: KSh23,000.00.

Urea 500gm

Original price was: KSh650.00.Current price is: KSh500.00.
Urea is an organic compound with the chemical formula CO(NHā‚‚)ā‚‚. It is a colorless, odorless solid, highly soluble in water, and practically non-toxic. Here are some key points about urea:

Chemical Properties:

  • Formula: CO(NHā‚‚)ā‚‚
  • Molecular Weight: 60.06 g/mol
  • Structure: Urea consists of two amine groups (-NHā‚‚) attached to a carbonyl group (C=O).

Production:

Urea is primarily produced via the Haber-Bosch process, which synthesizes ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. The ammonia is then combined with carbon dioxide to form urea: 2NH3+CO2→CO(NH2)2+H2O2 text{NH}_3 + text{CO}_2 rightarrow text{CO(NH}_2text{)}_2 + text{H}_2text{O}2NH3​+CO2​→CO(NH2​)2​+H2​O

White oil 162kg

Original price was: KSh52,000.00.Current price is: KSh49,000.00.
White oil is a highly refined, colorless, odorless, and tasteless mineral oil that is commonly used in a variety of industrial, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. It is produced by refining crude oil to remove impurities, resulting in a pure and stable oil that is chemically inert and non-toxic. White oil is typically characterized by its high purity, low viscosity, and low volatility, which makes it an ideal choice for applications where cleanliness, stability, and safety are important. Some common uses of white oil include as a lubricant, a carrier oil for fragrances and flavors, a plasticizer in the manufacturing of plastics, and as an ingredient in personal care products such as lotions and creams.
