Who buys from us
Eight industries, one specification standard
The chemistry changes by sector; the paperwork does not. Whatever you buy, it arrives with a batch Certificate of Analysis, a current Safety Data Sheet and a pack size you can actually use.
Manufacturing & process
Solvents for degreasing and thinning, acids and bases for pH control and pickling, glycols for heat transfer. Manufacturing buys on consistency more than on price — a batch that runs two points off spec costs more in downtime than it ever saved on the purchase order.
Cleaning & detergents
The full formulation shelf: primary surfactants, secondary surfactants and foam boosters, builders, sequestrants and pH adjusters. We supply at the concentrations formulators actually work from — SLES at 70%, LABSA at 96%, CAPB at 30% — so your dilution maths stays the same batch to batch.
Agriculture
Soil conditioners, chelating agents and the carrier chemistry behind foliar and fertigation programmes. Agricultural buying is seasonal and volume-driven, so most of these lines are stocked in 25 kg bags and 1,000 kg bulk bags rather than small packs.
Laboratories & research
Analytical and technical grades in quantities a lab can store safely. Universities and QC labs order in 1 L and 1 kg packs; pilot plants step up to 25 L and 25 kg. Every pack carries the same batch documentation as a full drum, because a method validation is only as good as the reagent record behind it.
Construction
Admixture chemistry and mineral fillers: set retarders and accelerators, water reducers, and the calcium and silicate salts behind grouts, renders and surface treatments. Construction volumes move in pallets and bulk bags, and lead time usually matters more than unit price.
Water treatment
Municipal and industrial treatment trains: coagulants and flocculants for clarification, hypochlorite and TCCA for disinfection, activated carbon for taste, odour and organics. These are the lines where assay drift shows up fastest in plant performance, so they are the ones we watch hardest on incoming batches.
Food & beverage processing
Food-grade acidulants, preservatives, hydrocolloids and flavour enhancers, supplied against the relevant pharmacopoeial or food-additive monograph with the E number stated on the product page. Food-grade lines are held separately from technical stock and never share packaging.
Mining & minerals
Flotation and dewatering reagents, pH modifiers and leach chemistry. Mining orders are large, remote and unforgiving on lead time — we quote these on a delivered basis with the dangerous goods classification confirmed before the order is placed, not after.
Coatings, paint & plastics
Pigments, extenders and functional fillers. Titanium dioxide grade selection alone changes opacity, gloss and weathering, so we publish the process route and the TiO2 content rather than a single trade name, and quote rutile and anatase separately.

Tell us the process, not just the product
If you describe what the chemical has to do, we can usually suggest the grade that fits and the pack size that makes sense at your volume.
