Chemicals & Solvents
Sodium Hydroxide / Caustic soda
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as lye and caustic soda, is a caustic metallic base. It is used in many industries, mostly as a strong chemical base in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents and as a drain cleaner. Pure sodium hydroxide is a white solid; available in pellets, flakes, granules and as a 50% saturated solution. It is hygroscopic and readily absorbs water from the air, so it should be stored in an airtight container. It is very soluble in water with liberation of heat. It also dissolves in ethanol and methanol, though it exhibits lower solubility in these solvents than does potassium hydroxide.

Sulphur
Sulphur is an abundant, multivalent non-metal. Sulphur in its native form is a yellow crystalline solid. It is heavily used in the manufacture of Sulhpuric Acid, which is an essential product in the extraction/recovery of Non Ferrous metals such as Copper & Cobalt in the form of Sulphates. Its other commercial uses are primarily in fertilizers, insecticides and fungicides.

Calcium Carbonate
Calcium Carbonate is a chemical compound found in rock throughout the world. The main use of calcium carbonate is in the construction industry, either as a building material in its own right (e.g. marble) or limestone aggregate for road building or as an ingredient of cement or as the starting material for the preparation of builder's lime by burning in a kiln, it is also used in drilling fluids, paint extender, plastics filler, adhesives, sealants, decorating fillers, ceramic/glazing applications and in the Paper & Pulp industry.

Potassium Chloride
Potassium chloride (KCl) is a metal halide salt composed of potassium and chlorine. In its pure state it is odorless. It has a white or colourless vitreous crystal, with a crystal structure that cleaves easily in three directions. It has such applications as Fertilizers, chemical feedstock, medicine, scientific applications, food processing & table salt and it is sometimes used in water as a completion fluid in petroleum.
Trichloroethylene
Trichloroethylene is a chlorinated hydrocarbon which has a clear appearance. It is a Non-Flammable liquid and has a sweet smell. It is commonly used throughout the world as an industrial solvent.
Potassium Superoxide
Potassium Superoxide is a rare salt of the superoxide ion which is produced by burning molten potassium in pure oxygen. It can be used as a, oxidising agent in industrial chemistry, a CO2 scrubber, a H2O dehumidifier and an O2 generator.
Potassium Hydroxide
Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula KOH, its also known in industry as Caustic Potash. KOH is noteworthy as the precursor to most soft and liquid soaps as well as numerous potassium-containing chemicals.
Acetone
Acetone is the organic compound with the formula OC(CH3)2. This colorless, mobile, flammable liquid is the simplest example of the ketones and is produced directly or indirectly from propane. Most commonly, in the cumene process. Familiar household uses of acetone are as the active ingredient in nail polish remover and as paint thinner and sanitary cleaner/nail polish remover base. It is a common building block in organic chemistry.
