Aluminum hydroxide
Aluminum Hydroxide, chemically known as Al(OH)₃, is a white, odorless, and odorless powder or gelatinous substance. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals as an antacid to neutralize stomach acid and relieve indigestion and heartburn. Beyond healthcare, aluminum hydroxide is a crucial component in water purification, fire retardants, and as a precursor or filler in various industrial applications. It functions as a flame retardant by releasing water upon heating, thus cooling the material and diluting flammable gases. Due to its amphoteric nature, it can react both as an acid and base, enhancing its versatility. Aluminum hydroxide is often utilized in manufacturing aluminum salts and in producing aluminum oxide.
Calcined Kaolin
Calcined Kaolin is a fine, white to off-white powder produced by heating natural kaolin clay to high temperatures (typically between 600°C and 900°C) in a controlled process called calcination. This thermal treatment removes chemically bound water, changes the crystalline structure, and enhances the physical and chemical properties of kaolin. The resulting product exhibits increased brightness, hardness, and opacity, making it highly valuable as a functional additive and filler in numerous industrial applications. Calcined Kaolin is widely used in coatings, ceramics, plastics, rubber, paper, and paint industries to improve durability, brightness, and performance.
Calcium Carbonate Heavy
Calcium Carbonate Heavy is a high-density, finely ground, natural mineral primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Known for its higher bulk density compared to regular grades, this filler is widely used in applications requiring enhanced weight, opacity, and strength. It is commonly employed as a functional filler and extender in industries such as plastics, paints, coatings, adhesives, rubber, paper, and construction materials. Its inert nature, whiteness, and particle size distribution make it suitable for improving mechanical properties and surface finish, while also offering cost efficiency by replacing more expensive raw materials.
Calcium Carbonate Light
Calcium Carbonate Light is a finely ground, low bulk density natural mineral composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Compared to standard grades, it has a lower density and larger particle size distribution, making it suitable for applications where light weight and high brightness are important.

Silicon Dioxide
Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂), commonly known as silica, is a naturally occurring inorganic compound found abundantly in the Earth’s crust. In its refined, powdered form, it is used as an anti-caking agent, filler, absorbent, and thickener across a wide range of industries. It is odorless, tasteless, chemically inert, and stable under normal conditions. Packaged in 10kg units, silicon dioxide is highly versatile and widely accepted for use in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
Sodium Alumina Silicate
Sodium Alumina Silicate is an inorganic compound consisting of sodium, aluminum, and silicon oxides. It is typically found as a white, amorphous powder with excellent adsorption and ion-exchange properties. Commonly used as a detergent builder, water softener, and desiccant, sodium alumina silicate improves cleaning efficiency, controls water hardness, and aids moisture absorption. Its thermal stability and chemical inertness make it valuable across detergent manufacturing, water treatment, and various industrial processes.
Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous
Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous (Na₂SO₄) is a white crystalline powder, odorless and highly soluble in water. Unlike the decahydrate form (Glauber's salt), this anhydrous grade contains minimal water content, making it ideal for industrial applications requiring low moisture levels. Supplied in 25kg packaging, it is widely used as a filler, drying agent, and raw material in detergents, glass manufacturing, pulp and paper, and chemical synthesis. Its excellent stability, non-hygroscopic nature, and cost-effectiveness make it an essential bulk chemical.
