Industrial & Specialty Chemicals for South Africa

The industrial and specialty chemicals division handles larger-volume materials that feed manufacturing processes. It includes commodity acids and alkalis, water-treatment chemicals, surfactants, dye and pigment intermediates, polymer additives, plasticisers, resins and their raw materials, agrochemical intermediates, food and feed additives and personal-care ingredients.

Grades are chosen for the process: technical, industrial, food (FCC/IP), feed, cosmetic and pharma grades where applicable. Supply is typically in 25 kg bags, 200 L drums, 1,000 L IBCs, jumbo bags or full container loads, with batch COA and GHS SDS on every shipment. We can consolidate several products into one container to help smaller importers reach an economic load.

Water utilities and treatment contractors, paint and coatings makers, textile processors, plastic and rubber compounders, agrochemical formulators, detergent and cosmetic manufacturers and regional chemical distributors make up most of the buyer base. India's large chemical industry, concentrated in Gujarat and Maharashtra, makes it a practical sourcing origin for these materials, particularly for buyers in the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia. Short sea transits to the Gulf and East Africa help importers keep lower safety stocks while still receiving full documentation on every lot.
