Industrial Chemicals & Raw Materials

Construction chemicals, ceramic and glass form one group around building and mineral-based production. Coating and paints sit alongside them as categories concerned with prepared surfaces and finished layers.

• Construction chemicals
• Ceramic
• Glass
• Coating
• Paints

Inks and paper serve printing and paper-related production. Textile and leather form a related group for processors working with fibres, fabrics and hides.

• Inks
• Paper
• Textile
• Leather

Plastics and rubber identify two major material-processing categories. Petrochemicals are listed separately and provide the broader industrial category for enquiries connected with petrochemical production or use.

• Plastics
• Rubber
• Petrochemicals

Detergents cover raw materials used in cleaning formulations. Water treatment covers materials associated with treating water in an industrial setting. These are distinct applications, even when a buyer’s enquiry begins with a similar chemical name.

• Detergents
• Water treatment

Agrochemicals provide the category for chemical raw materials used within agricultural product manufacturing. It is kept separate from the construction, printing, polymer and cleaning groups because the intended end use differs.

• Agrochemicals

The “Others” route is for a raw material that falls outside the named industries. Giving the end-use sector and application helps place that request against the most relevant manufacturer category.
