Vitamin K3
Whatsapp Order
Vitamin K3, chemically known as Menadione, is a synthetic, fat-soluble vitamin used primarily in animal nutrition and some pharmaceutical applications. Unlike Vitamins K1 and K2, Vitamin K3 does not occur naturally but is a stable precursor that the body (or animal body) can convert into active forms of Vitamin K. It plays a critical role in blood clotting, bone metabolism, and cellular health. Vitamin K3 is usually available as Menadione Sodium Bisulfite (MSB) or Menadione Nicotinamide Bisulfite (MNB) for enhanced solubility and stability.

Acid Oil Soya
Acid Oil Soya is a byproduct derived from the refining of soybean oil. It is a dark-colored, free fatty acid-rich liquid containing mainly oleic and linoleic acids. Acid Oil Soya is commonly used in industrial applications such as soap making, animal feed, and as a raw material in the production of biodiesel, lubricants, and other chemicals.
Calcium Carbonate (Uncoated)
Calcium Carbonate (uncoated) is a naturally occurring mineral compound composed primarily of calcium, carbon, and oxygen with the chemical formula CaCO₃. It appears as a fine white powder or granules, widely used as a filler, pigment, and functional additive across various industries. The uncoated form means the calcium carbonate particles are not surface-treated, retaining their natural properties. It is valued for its high brightness, whiteness, and excellent compressibility. Uncoated calcium carbonate is used to enhance opacity, improve processing, and reduce costs in plastics, paints, coatings, adhesives, rubber, paper, and construction materials.
Choline Chloride Powder
Choline Chloride Powder is a white to off-white crystalline powder containing 60% choline chloride, a quaternary ammonium salt essential as a nutrient in animal and poultry feed. It serves as a vital source of choline, an important component in fat metabolism, liver function, and cell membrane integrity. Produced through chemical synthesis, this powder form is highly soluble in water, making it easy to incorporate into feed premixes and supplements. Choline chloride is widely used in the agriculture industry to prevent choline deficiency, enhance growth performance, and improve overall health in livestock. Beyond animal nutrition, it finds applications in chemical manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.
Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate (Na₂HPO₄·2H₂O)

Fatty Acid
Fatty acids are a group of carboxylic acids consisting of long aliphatic chains, which can be either saturated or unsaturated. They are typically derived from natural fats and oils through hydrolysis or saponification and appear as colorless to pale yellow liquids or solids depending on the chain length and degree of saturation. Fatty acids are fundamental building blocks in biochemistry and industrial chemistry, serving as raw materials in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, lubricants, cosmetics, plastics, and food additives. Their amphiphilic nature—containing both hydrophilic (carboxyl group) and hydrophobic (alkyl chain) components—makes them versatile for various chemical and industrial applications.
Guar Gum
Guar Gum is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the endosperm of the guar bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). It appears as an off-white to cream-colored powder with a neutral odor and bland taste. Guar Gum is a galactomannan composed mainly of mannose and galactose units, known for its excellent water-binding, thickening, and stabilizing properties. It forms highly viscous solutions even at low concentrations, making it a versatile hydrocolloid used widely across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, oilfield, and industrial applications.
Icing Sugar Super refined
Icing Sugar Super refined, also known as powdered sugar or confectioners' sugar, is a finely ground white sugar produced by milling granulated sugar into a smooth, powdery form. This grade of icing sugar has an ultra-fine texture with a particle size typically less than 50 microns, ensuring quick solubility and a smooth finish. It often contains a small percentage of anti-caking agent such as cornstarch or tricalcium phosphate to prevent clumping. Super refined icing sugar is widely used in baking, confectionery, and food processing industries for its fast-dissolving and smooth blending characteristics.
