Mineral chemicals
Mineral chemicals are inorganic compounds derived from minerals, used in industries like agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing for various applications.
- Sourced from high-purity, natural mineral deposits.
- Essential in agriculture as fertilizers and soil amendments.
- Value dictated by precise chemical composition and purity.
Resins
Resins are viscous or solid polymers used in adhesives, coatings, plastics, and composites for durability, bonding, and waterproofing
- Act as the binding matrix in composite materials.
- Versatile synthetic or natural polymers with adhesive properties.
- Cure from liquid to solid through heat or chemical reaction.
Polyurethane
Polyurethane is a versatile polymer used in foams, coatings, adhesives, and elastomers for insulation, furniture, footwear, and automotive parts
- Superior insulation properties for thermal and acoustic applications.
- Exceptional durability, abrasion resistance, and long product life.
- Used to create rigid foam insulation for buildings and appliances.
Paint & Coating
Paint and coating chemicals are formulations that provide protection, decoration, and durability to surfaces using pigments, binders, solvents, and additives
- Provide protective barriers against corrosion, UV, and weathering.
- Offer decorative finishes with extensive color and aesthetic options.
- Essential for preventing corrosion on industrial and metal structures.
Lamination
Lamination chemicals are adhesives and coatings used to bond layers of materials, enhancing durability, strength, and appearance in packaging, textiles, and films.
- Enhances visual appeal with glossy, matte, or textured finishes.
- Provides insulation and dielectric barriers in electrical applications.
- Uses adhesives, heat, and pressure to fuse layers permanently.
Bio Fuel
Renewable fuel derived from organic matter, providing a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based energy sources.
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels.
- Includes ethanol, biodiesel, and advanced biofuels from non-food sources.
- Compatible with existing fuel infrastructure and vehicle engines.
Friction Material
Friction materials are heat-resistant composites used in brakes and clutches to provide controlled friction, durability, and safety in automotive and industrial applications.
- Essential for safety in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.
- Minimizes noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) during engagement.
- Engineered to be durable while protecting opposing surfaces from damage.
Rubber
Rubber chemicals are additives like accelerators, antioxidants, and vulcanizing agents that enhance elasticity, durability, and processing of natural and synthetic rubber.
- Excellent waterproofing and electrical insulation properties.
- Fundamental material for tires, seals, hoses, and industrial belts.
- Vulcanization process improves strength, durability, and elastic memory.
Textiles
Textile chemicals are dyes, finishes, and auxiliaries used in fabric processing to enhance color, texture, durability, and performance of textiles.
- Flexible materials formed by weaving, knitting, or felting fibers.
- Critical in technical applications like medical, automotive, and aerospace.
- Sustainability focuses on recycling, organic materials, and reducing waste.
Foundries
Foundry chemicals are additives like binders, fluxes, and coatings used in metal casting to improve mold quality, flow, and metal finish.
- Produce complex metal parts through casting processes.
- Enable cost-effective mass production of intricate metal geometries.
- Focus on quality through metallurgical expertise and rigorous testing.
Adhesive
Adhesive chemicals are bonding agents like polymers, resins, and additives used to join materials securely in industrial, medical, and household applications.
- Bond materials without mechanical fasteners, enabling lightweight design.
- Formulated as liquids, films, pastes, or solids for diverse applications.
- Provide flexibility, vibration damping, and gap-filling properties.
Biodiesel
Biodiesel chemicals include catalysts, methanol, and additives used to convert fats/oils into renewable fuel via transesterification, enhancing performance and stability.
- Significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions versus petroleum diesel.
- Non-toxic, sulfur-free, and produces fewer particulate emissions.
- Often blended with petroleum diesel (e.g., B20, B100) for wider adoption.
