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 Decahydrate
Borax Decahydrate, also known as sodium tetraborate decahydrate, is a naturally occurring mineral and an important inorganic compound. It appears as colorless or white crystalline granules or powder with a salty, alkaline taste. This compound is widely used in detergents, cosmetics, glass manufacturing, agriculture, and various industrial applications due to its excellent buffering, emulsifying, and antiseptic properties. The “decahydrate” indicates that each molecule of borax contains ten water molecules bound in its crystal structure, contributing to its crystalline appearance and physical properties.
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 Chloride
Calcium Chloride is an inorganic salt composed of calcium and chlorine with the chemical formula CaCl₂. It typically appears as a white crystalline solid or granular powder, highly soluble in water and exhibiting strong hygroscopic properties. Calcium Chloride is widely used for its moisture-absorbing ability, de-icing, dust control, and as a firming agent in food processing. It finds extensive applications across industrial, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food sectors due to its efficacy in modifying physical and chemical properties of products and environments.
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.
Detergent Compound
Detergent Compound is a formulated blend of surfactants, builders, fillers, enzymes, and other additives designed to provide superior cleaning performance in various household, institutional, and industrial cleaning applications. Supplied as a free-flowing powder or granules, it dissolves quickly in water to effectively remove dirt, oils, grease, and stains from fabrics, dishes, and surfaces. The compound balances cleaning power, foaming, water softening, and fabric care through a combination of synthetic surfactants (anionic, nonionic), builders (such as sodium carbonate, zeolites), enzymes for stain degradation, optical brighteners, anti-redeposition agents, and fragrance. This versatile base material is essential for laundry detergents, dishwashing powders, and multipurpose cleaning formulations.
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.
Phosphoric acid Technical Grade
Phosphoric Acid Technical Grade is a concentrated, inorganic acid primarily used in industrial applications. It typically contains minor impurities compared to food or pharmaceutical grades but maintains excellent performance as an acidulant, rust remover, and intermediate chemical. This grade is widely used in manufacturing fertilizers, detergents, metal treatment, and other industrial processes where high purity is not critical but effective acidic properties are required.
