High-Quality Inorganic Compounds for the Chemical Industry
We manufacture tin, iodine and magnesium based compounds that are used in a range of industrial processes. Key to all of these is providing market leading quality and service.
Printing Chemicals
Periodic acid and sodium periodate are used as oxidising agents in silk screen printing. The periodate ions selectively decompose cured emulsions that are used as printing stencils, which are then removed from the delicate silk screen. The silk screen is then reclaimed and can be reused in the process.
Mirror Solution
Tin dichloride is used as a reducing agent in the production of mirrors. During the silvering process of mirrors, tin (II) chloride is used to reduce silver and improves the adhesion of the silver to the glass surface.
Oil & Gas
Tin dichloride is used in oil & gas applications as a reducing agent for iron in oil wells. Insoluble ferric iron compounds are a key factor in the generation of sludge in acidizing treatments. The addition of tin dichloride to the acidizing solution ensures that iron remains in the ferrous state and prevents the formation of sludge. Potassium iodide and copper iodide can also be used as corrosion inhibitors in oil well drilling.
