Basic Laundry Detergent
Basic Laundry Detergent is a cleaning agent formulated primarily for washing textiles such as clothes, linens, and other fabrics. It typically contains surfactants, builders, enzymes, and other additives that work synergistically to remove dirt, stains, and odors from fabrics. Designed for household and industrial use, laundry detergents help restore fabric cleanliness and freshness while maintaining fiber integrity. Basic laundry detergents can be in powder, liquid, or tablet form, and are formulated to perform in various water hardness conditions and temperatures.
Borax Pentahydrate
Borax Pentahydrate (sodium tetraborate pentahydrate) is an inorganic compound and a hydrated form of borax. It typically appears as colorless to white crystalline granules or powder. This compound contains five molecules of water of crystallization per formula unit, distinguishing it from other borax hydrates such as the decahydrate form. Borax Pentahydrate is widely used across industries including detergents, glass production, agriculture, and cosmetics, valued for its buffering capacity, emulsification, and antiseptic properties. It is soluble in water and exhibits alkaline properties in aqueous solution.
Fatty Acid
Fatty acids are a group of carboxylic acids consisting of long aliphatic chains, which can be either saturated or unsaturated. They are typically derived from natural fats and oils through hydrolysis or saponification and appear as colorless to pale yellow liquids or solids depending on the chain length and degree of saturation. Fatty acids are fundamental building blocks in biochemistry and industrial chemistry, serving as raw materials in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, lubricants, cosmetics, plastics, and food additives. Their amphiphilic nature—containing both hydrophilic (carboxyl group) and hydrophobic (alkyl chain) components—makes them versatile for various chemical and industrial applications.
Labsa
Labsa Ufacid, also known as Ufacid 90%, is a highly concentrated anionic surfactant widely used in the detergent and cleaning industries. It is a viscous, oily liquid or semi-solid with strong acidic properties and excellent surface-active capabilities. Labsa 90% acts as a primary raw material for manufacturing laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and industrial cleaners due to its excellent foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties. It is valued for its strong cleaning power and compatibility with various formulations.
Methyl Acetate
Methyl Acetate is a colorless, volatile, and flammable liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is an ester formed from methanol and acetic acid and is widely used as a solvent in coatings, adhesives, inks, and cleaning products. Known for its excellent solvency power and fast evaporation rate, methyl acetate is preferred in industrial and commercial applications where quick drying is essential.
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES) is a versatile anionic surfactant commonly used in personal care, household, and industrial cleaning products. It is a clear to slightly yellow viscous liquid or powder derived from ethoxylated lauryl alcohol and sulfuric acid, neutralized with sodium hydroxide.

Terrazzo Cleaner
Terrazzo Cleaner is a specialized, neutral to mildly alkaline cleaning formulation designed specifically for the safe and effective cleaning, restoration, and maintenance of terrazzo flooring. Terrazzo is a composite material consisting of marble, quartz, granite, glass, or other aggregate chips embedded in a cementitious or epoxy matrix, which is then ground and polished to a smooth surface. This cleaner is engineered to be non-acidic and non-etching to protect the calcareous (calcium-based) marble and limestone aggregates from chemical attack while effectively emulsifying and lifting embedded dirt, grime, oils, and stubborn stains. It penetrates the porous surface to release trapped contaminants without dulling the polished finish or degrading the grout lines. Industrial Grade Terrazzo Cleaner is formulated for daily, weekly, and restorative maintenance in high-traffic commercial, institutional, and residential settings. It is not intended for stripping heavy wax or polymer coating build-up unless specifically formulated for that purpose.
Turkey Red Oil (Sulphated Castor Oil)
Turkey Red Oil (Sulphated Castor Oil), also known as Sulphated Castor Oil, is a water-soluble derivative of castor oil produced by the sulfonation of castor oil. It appears as a viscous, amber to dark brown liquid with excellent emulsifying, detergent, and wetting properties. Turkey Red Oil is widely used as a natural surfactant and emulsifier in various industrial and personal care applications. It is known for its biodegradability, mildness, and ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions. Traditionally used in textile processing as a softener and lubricant, it now finds broad usage in cosmetics, detergents, leather processing, and cleaning products due to its unique functional attributes.
