We manufacture different kinds of acids like Sulphuric Acid 98%, Sulphuric Acid 70%, Oleum 23%, Oleum 65% and Chloro Sulphonic Acid.
Setting up our own Acid complex in the year 2010 was a strategic move to help us lay the foundations of a deep rooted backward integration setup. These acids are not only sold in the market but also are used for in-house consumption.
Sulphuric acid is one of our main raw materials for manufacturing of Dye intermediates and SSP along with most of our other products.
