Sodium Thiosulphate 25kg
Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) is an inorganic compound that is commonly used as a photographic fixer, as well as in medical and industrial applications. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a mild odor. In photography, sodium thiosulfate is used to remove unexposed silver halide from photographic prints and negatives, making the image permanent. In medicine, it is used as an antidote for cyanide poisoning, and in industrial applications, it is used as a reducing agent, a dechlorinating agent, and in water treatment processes.
Stearic Acid (Triple Pressed) 25kg
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C18H36O2. It is a solid, waxy substance that is odorless and tasteless. Stearic acid is commonly found in natural fats and oils, such as animal fats (beef, pork, and chicken) and vegetable oils (such as coconut oil, palm oil, and shea butter).
Stearic acid is widely used in various industries and applications. In the food industry, it serves as a food additive and is commonly used as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer. It can be found in a variety of food products, including baked goods, confectionery, margarine, and chocolate.
Outside of the food industry, stearic acid has many applications. It is used in the production of candles, cosmetics, soaps, detergents, and lubricants. It is also utilized as a coating for pills and tablets in the pharmaceutical industry.
From a chemical perspective, stearic acid belongs to the class of fatty acids, which are long-chain carboxylic acids. It is called a saturated fatty acid because its carbon chain is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, meaning it does not contain any carbon-carbon double bonds. This saturation gives stearic acid its solid form at room temperature and makes it less prone to rancidity compared to unsaturated fats.
Overall, stearic acid is a versatile compound with various industrial applications, primarily as a thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer, and lubricant.
Talcum Powder (Talc) 50kg Bag
Talcum powder is a fine, white powder made from talc, a naturally occurring mineral composed mainly of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. It is widely used in various cosmetic and personal care products for its ability to absorb moisture, reduce friction, and provide a silky-smooth texture. Talcum powder is often used as a body powder, baby powder, and in some cases as a dry shampoo. However, concerns have been raised about the potential health risks associated with inhaling talc particles, particularly for women who use talcum powder in the genital area.
Tartaric Acid 500gm
Tartaric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in many plants, particularly in grapes, bananas, and tamarinds. It is well-known for its significant role in the wine industry, where it helps stabilize the wine and contributes to its taste. Here are some key aspects and uses of tartaric acid:
Chemical Properties
- Chemical Formula: C4_44H6_66O6_66
- Molecular Weight: 150.09 g/mol
- Appearance: White crystalline powder
- Solubility: Soluble in water and alcohol
Natural Occurrence
Tartaric acid is widely found in nature, predominantly in fruits like grapes, apricots, and apples. The potassium salt of tartaric acid, known as potassium bitartrate or cream of tartar, is a byproduct of winemaking.Industrial Production
Commercially, tartaric acid is often produced as a byproduct of wine production. The process involves:- Extraction: The sediment left in wine barrels, known as "lees," is treated to extract potassium bitartrate.
- Purification: The crude potassium bitartrate is then purified and converted to tartaric acid.
