Activated Carbon
Activated carbon is a highly porous, adsorptive material processed to have an exceptionally large surface area (typically 500-1500 m²/g) through thermal or chemical activation of carbon-rich source materials. This versatile adsorbent exists in powdered (PAC), granular (GAC), pelletized, and extruded forms, with pore structures specifically engineered for different applications ranging from water purification to gas treatment. Its extended surface area and complex pore network (micropores <2nm, mesopores 2-50nm, macropores >50nm) enable superior physical adsorption of contaminants through van der Waals forces, as well as chemical interactions with surface functional groups.
Ammonium Cupric Chloride
Ammonium Cupric Chloride is a blue-green crystalline inorganic compound composed of copper, ammonium, and chloride ions. It is widely used as a source of copper in agricultural fungicides and bactericides, as well as in electroplating, chemical synthesis, and textile dyeing. Its antimicrobial properties make it valuable for controlling fungal and bacterial infections in plants. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in various industrial and laboratory applications.
Benzyl Konium Chloride
Benzyl Konium Chloride (BAC) 50% is a quaternary ammonium compound with potent antimicrobial and disinfectant properties. It is a cationic surfactant widely used for its bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal effects. This clear to pale yellow liquid concentrate is highly soluble in water and is commonly used in healthcare, sanitation, and industrial hygiene applications. BAC 50% solutions serve as active ingredients in disinfectants, sanitizers, and antiseptics due to their effectiveness against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.
Calcium Propionate
Calcium Propionate is the calcium salt of propionic acid, appearing as a white, crystalline powder or granules with a slightly salty taste and low odor. It is highly soluble in water and used primarily as a food preservative and mold inhibitor. Calcium Propionate inhibits the growth of mold, bacteria, and fungi, making it especially valuable in baked goods, dairy products, and animal feed to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage. It also finds application in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics as a preservative and antimicrobial agent.
Distilled Water
Distilled Water is purified water that has been processed through distillation, a method involving evaporation and subsequent condensation to remove impurities, salts, minerals, and organic matter. This results in ultra-pure, clear, odorless, and tasteless water free of dissolved solids and contaminants. Distilled water is non-conductive, neutral in pH under ideal storage, and chemically stable. It is widely used across pharmaceutical, laboratory, medical, industrial, and consumer applications where high water purity is critical.
Hydrogen Peroxide Tech Grade
Hydrogen Peroxide Tech Grade is a highly concentrated aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) designed primarily for industrial and technical applications. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a sharp, acrid odor. Known for its strong oxidizing, bleaching, and disinfecting properties, this tech-grade formulation is typically used where high reactivity is required, often in non-food processes. It decomposes into environmentally benign by-products—water and oxygen—making it a preferred agent for sustainable industrial processes.
Iodine Crystals
Iodine Crystals are high-purity elemental iodine in solid crystalline form. These dark violet-black crystals have a characteristic pungent odor and sublime easily at room temperature, releasing violet iodine vapors. Iodine is a halogen element widely used for its antiseptic, oxidizing, and chemical reagent properties in pharmaceutical, industrial, and laboratory applications.
Sasol Phenol
Sasol Phenol is a high-purity, industrial-grade phenol produced by Sasol, widely used as a key raw material in the manufacture of plastics, resins, and chemicals. Phenol is an aromatic organic compound characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. It serves as a precursor in producing bisphenol A, caprolactam, and phenolic resins. Sasol Phenol is known for its consistent quality, purity, and suitability for diverse industrial applications including chemical synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and adhesives.
