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 Flakes
Caustic Soda Flakes, also known as Sodium Hydroxide Flakes (NaOH), are a highly alkaline, white, solid substance that is crystalline and flaky in form. Produced by evaporating aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions, these flakes are highly soluble in water and exhibit strong corrosive properties. Caustic Soda Flakes are widely used in a variety of industrial, chemical, and manufacturing processes due to their strong alkalinity, ability to saponify fats, and effectiveness in pH adjustment. Their high purity and ease of handling in flake form make them suitable for use in chemical synthesis, pulp and paper production, water treatment, and detergent manufacturing.
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.
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.
Diethanolamine (DEA)
Diethanolamine is a colorless to pale yellow, viscous liquid with a mild ammonia-like odor. It is a secondary amine and diol, widely used in various industrial, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. DEA is highly soluble in water and many organic solvents. It acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, and pharmaceuticals. It is valued for its alkalinity, emulsifying properties, and ability to form stable complexes with fatty acids.
Disodium EDTA 99%
Disodium EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt) is a white, odorless, crystalline powder known for its strong chelating properties.
