CHROME MINERAL (CHROMITE)

Chromite is used as a refractory material due to its high thermal stability. Chromite refractory bricks are used in metallurgical furnaces.

It is used in molds for the manufacture of bricks; and in general to manufacture refractory materials (such as bricks for foundry furnaces). A good part of the chromite is used to obtain chromium in alloys. It is also used to make bottles, giving them a green appearance.

SODIUM GLUCONATE

In the construction industry sodium gluconate is used as a retardant to set concrete and concrete.

In cleaning products applications sodium gluconate helps improve solubility.

Among the most common applications of Sodium Gluconate in the food industry are: cold tea, fresh cheeses, carbonated drinks, desserts, meat products, sauces and dressings, cereals, confectionery products, pet food, among others.

In water treatment, it works as a calcium sequestrant.

SODIUM METABISULFITE

El sodium metabisulfite It is an additive used in the food industry mainly as a preservative agent. Among the most common applications are: Food supplements and vitamins, peppermint candies and other sugar candies, boiled candies, mixed powdered assortments, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

The purpose of preservatives is to inhibit the growth of fungi, yeasts and bacteria. Because many of the preservatives are found naturally in some herbs and spices, their use dates back many centuries. Still others have been developed, including those that come from fermentations.

MELAMINE

Both urea-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde have very similar general properties, although there is much difference in their applications. Both resins are known as amino resins. Aminoresins are mainly used as adhesives to make chipboard and plywood, used in residential construction, furniture manufacturing (decorative laminates).

POLYVINYL ALCOHOL

Polyvinyl Alcohol or PVA is an ingredient used in the food industry as a glazing, thickening and stabilizing agent. Among the most common applications are: Dairy products, food packaging, food supplements, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

In the automotive industry it is used as a protective film in body paint.

SODIUM BISULPHATE

The primary use of sodium bisulfate is the acidification of solutions. For technical applications, it is used to refine metals, as a cleaning product, and to reduce the pH of the water (increasing the effectiveness of chlorine in swimming pools and bathtubs)
