Calcium Hypochlorite Chlorine is a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder or granules known for its strong oxidizing and disinfectant properties. The 65% grade indicates the available chlorine content, making it a powerful bleaching, sanitizing, and oxidizing agent. It is commonly used for water treatment, sanitation, and as a bleaching agent in industrial and household applications. Calcium Hypochlorite dissolves in water to release hypochlorous acid, which effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Distilled Water
Distilled Water is purified water that has been processed through distillation, a method involving evaporation and subsequent condensation to remove impurities, salts, minerals, and organic matter. This results in ultra-pure, clear, odorless, and tasteless water free of dissolved solids and contaminants. Distilled water is non-conductive, neutral in pH under ideal storage, and chemically stable. It is widely used across pharmaceutical, laboratory, medical, industrial, and consumer applications where high water purity is critical.
Glutardehyde
Glutardehydeis a potent biocidal agent and chemical sterilant widely used in healthcare, water treatment, and industrial applications. It is a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with a pungent, sharp odor. Chemically, it is a dialdehyde, primarily valued for its ability to cross-link proteins, making it highly effective as a disinfectant, fixative, and preservative. Typically supplied in concentrations of 25% or 50% aqueous solutions, Glutaraldehyde is used where high-level disinfection is needed—especially against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. Its versatility also extends to tanning, laboratory science, and wastewater treatment.
Industrial Salt
Industrial Salt, chemically known as Sodium Chloride (NaCl), is a high-purity crystalline compound widely used across industrial, chemical, agricultural, and water treatment applications. It appears as white to off-white crystalline granules or powder, depending on the grade and particle size. Industrial Salt is an essential raw material in numerous chemical processes, including chlor-alkali production, de-icing, textile dyeing, and water softening. Its versatility and cost-effectiveness make it indispensable in large-scale operations.
Iodine Crystals
Iodine Crystals are high-purity elemental iodine in solid crystalline form. These dark violet-black crystals have a characteristic pungent odor and sublime easily at room temperature, releasing violet iodine vapors. Iodine is a halogen element widely used for its antiseptic, oxidizing, and chemical reagent properties in pharmaceutical, industrial, and laboratory applications.
Sodium Hypochlorite
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 Thiosulphate
Sodium Thiosulphate (Na₂S₂O₃) is a white, crystalline, odorless powder or granular solid highly soluble in water. This 25kg packaged chemical is widely used in photographic processing, water treatment, chemical synthesis, and medicine. Known for its reducing and complexing properties, it acts as an effective dechlorinating agent and fixer in photography by dissolving silver halides. It is stable under normal conditions and easily handled for industrial and laboratory applications.
Sodium Thiosulphate Pentahydrate
Sodium Thiosulphate Pentahydrate (Na₂S₂O₃·5H₂O) is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. It is commonly used as a photographic fixer, reducing agent, and in water treatment processes. This 25kg packaged product contains five molecules of water of crystallization, which makes it more stable and easier to handle in industrial and laboratory applications.
