As part of our commitment to sustainable development, we provide products set to play an important role in the treatment of :


• industrial water
• domestic effluent
• lakes, ponds and rivers

• water for human consumption

Combining BICAR®Sodium Bicarbonate and CASO® Calcium Chloride produces calcium carbonate which is used to remineralise water in the brewing industry and bottled water.

EURECO® ε-phthalimido-Peroxy-Hexanoic-Acid grades are oxidizers with biocidal properties at low temperature.

INTEROX® Hydrogen Peroxide as a liquid is soluble in all concentrations in water. It can act on a range of pollutants such as cyanides, sulphides, sulphur species, mercaptans, formaldehyde and when catalyzed intransigent COD /BOD. It can re-establish quickly the level of dissolved oxygen (DO) consumed by bacteria in water, avoiding formation of toxic/odorous sulphides preserving aquatic life.

IXPER® Calcium and Magnesium Peroxides are slightly soluble solid chemicals that can be used to oxygenate water, to prevent the formation of toxic / odorous sulphides preserving aquatic life or to activate the organic material decomposition in ponds and recreational water.

OXYPER® Sodium Percarbonate is a solid which can be readily dissolved in water to produce an alkaline solution of hydrogen peroxide.

OXYSTRONG® Peracetic acid is a liquid disinfectant that is used as a tertiary treatment of waste water, it is totally biodegradable.

Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic soda) are both used to regulate pH in water and to regenerate ion exchange resins.

Sodium Carbonate as a soluble solid can be locked into sediments in lakes to minimize the effects of acid rain on the lakes.

Sodium Hypochlorite as a solution is used for the disinfection in treatment of water, either to maintain the safety of the water on its journey to the consumer, to maintain the sterility of water used in cooling systems or in swimming pools to combat bacteria , algae and viruses.

Sodium Sulphide is sold as a solid which readily disolves in water, it is used to remove heavy metals from water by precipitating the insoluble metal sulphide.
