Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate)

Sodium carbonate  with chemical formula of  Na2CO3, is the water-soluble sodium salt of carbonic acid. The manufacture of glass is one of the most important uses of sodium carbonate.


Zinc Sulphate

Zinc sulfate is an inorganic compound with formula of  ZnSO4 , Zinc sulfate is used to supply zinc in animal feeds, fertilizers, toothpaste, and agricultural sprays.


Calcium Carbonate

Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula CaCO3. It is a common substance found in rocks as the minerals calcite and aragonite and is the main component of pearls and the shells of marine organisms, snails, and eggs.


Aluminum Sulphate

Aluminium sulfate is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(SO4)3. It is soluble in water and is mainly used as a coagulating agent (promoting particle collision by neutralizing charge) in the purification of drinking water[3][4] and waste water treatment plants, and also in paper manufacturing.


Sodium Nitrate

Sodium nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula NaNO3.


Drilling Bentonite

Bentonite is an absorbent aluminum phyllosilicate clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite.

The most common use of bentonite is in drilling fluids. The bentonite in the flush fluid lubricates and cools the cutting tools while protecting against corrosion. As the drilling fluid generates hydrostatic pressure in the borehole, it hinders fluid and gas penetration.


Gilsonite

Gilsonite is a naturally occurring solid hydrocarbon, a form of asphalt or bitumen with a relatively high melting temperature.

Major component of Gilsonite is Carbon, while it contains several other elements including Nitrogen and Sulphur and some volatile matters.
