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.
Cape Chestnut Seed Oil
Cape Chestnut Seed Oil, also known as Yangu Oil, is a cold-pressed oil extracted from the seeds of the Cape Chestnut tree (Calodendrum capense), native to Southern Africa. It is prized in skincare for its non-comedogenic, UV-protective, and antioxidant-rich profile. With a light to medium texture and a mild, nutty aroma, the oil absorbs easily into the skin without clogging pores.
Rich in essential fatty acids, especially linoleic and oleic acid, as well as natural sun-protective compounds and polyphenols, Cape Chestnut Seed Oil is especially beneficial for sensitive, dry, or UV-exposed skin. It is commonly used in cosmetic formulations, hair care products, and aromatherapeutic applications for its protective and nourishing properties.
Corn Oil
Corn Oil is a versatile, plant-based oil extracted from the germ of corn kernels (Zea mays) through mechanical pressing and solvent extraction, followed by refining. It is light yellow in color with a mild, neutral scent and a high smoke point, making it suitable for culinary, industrial, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, and vitamin E, corn oil is valued for its emollient, antioxidant, and cholesterol-lowering properties.
Commonly used as a cooking and frying oil, it is also widely incorporated into margarine, salad dressings, and processed foods. In cosmetics, it functions as a skin-conditioning agent and emollient. Corn oil further finds use in pharmaceutical formulations, biofuel production, and industrial lubricants.
Ferrous Sulphate Dried mesh

It appears as pale green to light green crystalline granules or powder. This iron salt is widely used as a nutritional supplement, industrial chemical, and water treatment agent due to its high iron content (typically around 32-33% Fe) and enhanced solubility compared to the hydrated forms. The dried form improves stability and shelf life by reducing moisture content, making it suitable for applications in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food fortification, and environmental treatment processes.
Ferrous Sulphate Heptahydrate
Ferrous Sulphate Heptahydrate, also known as iron(II) sulfate heptahydrate, is a pale green crystalline solid containing seven molecules of water of crystallization (FeSO₄·7H₂O). It is a widely used inorganic iron compound characterized by its high iron content (approximately 20% Fe) and good solubility in water. This hydrated salt is commonly used in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and various industrial processes. The heptahydrate form is preferred for many applications due to its stability, ease of handling, and cost-effectiveness.
