Calcium Chloride Dihydrate
Calcium Chloride Dihydrate (CaCl₂·2H₂O) is a hydrated form of calcium chloride, appearing as white crystalline granules or flakes containing two molecules of water of crystallization. It is highly soluble in water and exhibits strong hygroscopic and deliquescent properties. This compound is widely used in industrial, pharmaceutical, food, and agricultural sectors due to its moisture absorption, de-icing, dust control, and calcium supplementation capabilities. Compared to anhydrous calcium chloride, the dihydrate form has lower hygroscopicity but is easier to handle and store.
Caustic Soda Pearls
Caustic Soda Pearls are small, solid, spherical particles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) produced by a controlled cooling and solidification process. These pearls offer superior flowability, uniform size distribution, and reduced dust generation compared to flake or powder forms. They are highly soluble in water, exhibiting a strong alkaline nature with vigorous exothermic dissolution. Caustic Soda Pearls are widely used across industries including chemical manufacturing, water treatment, pulp and paper processing, and detergents due to their purity, ease of handling, and efficient dissolution characteristics.
Cellulose Ether
 Cellulose ether refers to a group of chemically modified cellulose derivatives where hydroxyl groups on the cellulose backbone are substituted with ether groups such as methyl, hydroxyethyl, or carboxymethyl groups. These modifications improve solubility, viscosity, and film-forming properties while maintaining biodegradability and non-toxicity. Cellulose ethers are white to off-white powders or granules that dissolve in water to form viscous, stable solutions. They are widely used as thickeners, binders, stabilizers, and film formers in industries such as construction, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and paper.
CMC Sodium Blanose
CMC Sodium Blanose is a high-purity, pharmaceutical- and food-grade Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), manufactured under the Blanose® brand by Ashland or equivalent producers. It is a water-soluble, anionic cellulose ether derived from natural cellulose, designed for superior consistency, clarity, and performance. CMC Blanose serves as a thickening agent, stabilizer, binder, film former, and emulsifier in a wide variety of applications. Known for its excellent rheological control and water retention, it is widely used across the food, pharmaceutical, personal care, and industrial sectors, offering reliable performance with batch-to-batch consistency.
Eagle Homopolymer 510/50 50%
Eagle Homopolymer 510/50 50% is a high-purity homopolymer solution, typically referring to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or a similar water-soluble polymer supplied at 50% concentration. This product offers excellent film-forming, adhesive, thickening, and stabilizing properties, making it versatile in applications such as adhesives, textile sizing, paper coating, and packaging. The homopolymer’s controlled molecular weight and solution viscosity provide consistent performance and ease of handling. The 50% aqueous solution form facilitates easy mixing and incorporation into various formulations.
Eagle Styrene Acrylic 72/50
Eagle Styrene Acrylic 72/50 is a co-polymer emulsion consisting of styrene and acrylic monomers, offered at 50% active solids concentration in water. It appears as a milky-white, low-viscosity liquid with a mild odor. This polymer emulsion combines excellent film-forming properties, adhesion, and mechanical strength, making it widely used in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and functional binders across multiple industries.
Master Air
Master Air is a high-performance air release agent used primarily in concrete and construction applications. It facilitates the release of entrapped air bubbles from fresh concrete mixtures, improving workability, surface finish, and durability. This additive enhances the homogeneity of concrete by reducing air voids that can weaken the structure. Master Air is suitable for use in ready-mix concrete, precast elements, and other cementitious materials, contributing to improved mechanical properties and longevity of the final product.
Medium Binder
Medium Binder is a versatile adhesive and binding agent formulated to enhance cohesion, strength, and durability in various industrial and construction applications. It improves the bonding properties between different materials, providing a reliable and consistent bond that resists environmental degradation. Medium Binder is suitable for use in composites, coatings, and concrete formulations, optimizing performance and structural integrity.
