Solvents Supplier in Zambia
HPLC, LC-MS, spectroscopy, AR and bulk industrial solvents - methanol, acetonitrile, IPA, acetone, DCM, toluene and more - in bottles, drums and IBCs. Analytical labs and process plants in Zambia source our HPLC, LC-MS and bulk solvents, packed and documented as dangerous goods for safe transit.
Solvents for Zambia
The solvents division supplies polar and non-polar solvents for analysis, synthesis and industrial processing. The range includes alcohols (methanol, ethanol where permitted, IPA, n-butanol), ketones (acetone, MEK, MIBK), chlorinated solvents (dichloromethane, chloroform), aromatics (toluene, xylene), esters (ethyl acetate, butyl acetate), ethers (THF, MTBE, 1,4-dioxane), nitriles such as acetonitrile and aprotic solvents like DMF, DMSO and NMP.
Grades span HPLC, gradient-grade and LC-MS solvents with low UV cut-off and residue limits, spectroscopy and GC headspace grades, anhydrous solvents for moisture-sensitive chemistry, AR laboratory grades and technical or industrial grades for manufacturing use. Each batch ships with a COA covering assay, water content and relevant impurities, together with a GHS SDS.
Pharmaceutical QC labs, API and intermediate manufacturers, contract research organisations, paint and adhesive formulators and electronics cleaning operations are the core buyers. Because most solvents are Class 3 flammable liquids, export shipments move as dangerous goods under IMDG or IATA rules in UN-approved bottles, drums or IBCs, and some solvents are listed as drug precursors, so end-use declarations may be requested. For lab users we can combine several grades in one shipment, while bulk buyers can plan regular drum or IBC call-offs against a fixed specification.

Compliance in Zambia
Regulator: ZEMA (Zambia Environmental Management Agency)
Zambia is landlocked and sea cargo reaches it through Dar es Salaam, Durban, Walvis Bay or Beira under transit bonds. ZEMA licenses the import of hazardous substances and pesticides, and ZAMRA issues import permits for APIs and medicines. Mining reagents such as cyanide or strong acids may need additional permits and careful DG handling on the road leg.

FAQs — Solvents in Zambia
Do you supply Solvents to Zambia?
Yes. We export Solvents to Zambia by sea freight to Dar es Salaam (via road/TAZARA rail) or Durban (via road), by air cargo, or by express courier for small R&D packs. Every shipment includes a COA and a GHS SDS.
How long does delivery to Zambia take?
Typical sea transit from India to Zambia is 30–40 days and air freight 4–6 days, plus production/packing lead time and customs clearance.
Do you supply LC-MS grade acetonitrile and methanol?
Yes. LC-MS and HPLC gradient grades are available, with specifications for UV cut-off, evaporation residue and relevant metal ions shown on the COA.
What packaging options are available for solvents?
Typical options are 1 L and 2.5 L glass bottles, 20–25 L cans, 200 L drums and 1,000 L IBCs for bulk grades. Availability depends on the solvent and grade.
Can solvents be shipped by air?
Many flammable solvents can travel by air under IATA limits in approved packaging, but quantity limits apply and cargo-aircraft-only rules may restrict some items. Larger volumes usually ship by sea as IMDG Class 3 cargo.
