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.
Calcium Nitrate
Calcium Nitrate is a highly soluble, white crystalline salt composed of calcium and nitrate ions. It is commonly available as a tetrahydrate (Ca(NO₃)₂·4H₂O). Known for its excellent solubility in water, calcium nitrate is widely used as a fertilizer providing both calcium and nitrogen to plants. It improves soil structure, enhances nutrient uptake, and prevents disorders such as blossom-end rot in fruits. Beyond agriculture, calcium nitrate serves in wastewater treatment, concrete acceleration, and industrial chemical processes.
Calcium Sulphate
Calcium Sulphate is an inorganic compound composed of calcium, sulfur, and oxygen, commonly found in two forms: dihydrate (gypsum, CaSO4·2H2O) and anhydrous (CaSO4). It appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder or granules with low solubility in water. Calcium Sulphate is widely used in construction, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food industry, and various industrial applications. It acts as a filler, hardening agent, and drying agent due to its physical and chemical properties. The dihydrate form (gypsum) is notable for use in plaster and cement, while the anhydrous form is often used as a drying agent and in refractory materials.
Caustic Soda Micropearls
Caustic Soda Micropearls are small, spherical, solid particles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) produced through specialized prilling or pelletizing techniques. They offer excellent flowability, high purity, and uniform size distribution, making them ideal for precise dosing and handling in industrial and chemical processes. The micropearls form is preferred in applications where dust control, ease of transport, and controlled dissolution rates are critical. Caustic Soda Micropearls exhibit strong alkalinity, are highly soluble in water with an exothermic reaction, and are widely used across many sectors including chemical manufacturing, water treatment, pulp and paper processing, and detergent production.
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.
Corn Starch Industrial Grade
Corn Starch Industrial Grade is a finely milled, white powder derived from the endosperm of maize (Zea mays). Unlike food-grade starch, industrial grade is tailored for non-food applications where its thickening, adhesive, and film-forming properties are exploited. It consists primarily of amylose and amylopectin polysaccharides and is valued for its biodegradability, renewability, and cost-effectiveness. Industrial corn starch is used extensively as a raw material or functional additive across a wide variety of manufacturing processes, including paper, textiles, adhesives, and packaging 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.
