Products
Our technology uses a well proven Carbonation Tower Technology which produces low bulk density Soda Ash, fine and free flowing and most preferred by all the detergent manufacturers. It is chemically converted to Dense Soda Ash by a hydration technology, which is the ideal raw material for Glass Industries and also certain type of compact detergents.

Sodium Bicarbonate
As part of diversification 5,000 Tonnes of Refined Sodium Bicarbonate plant had been set up in the Company's manufacturing facilities at Tuticorin. The process, which is being used, has been developed by the Company's own R&D. The production has been commenced in the year 1995. Sodium Bicarbonate is used in the manufacture of Biscuits, Pharmaceuticals, Fire Extinguishers etc.
