Chemical Supply for Namibian Manufacturers

Yes — for account customers with predictable consumption we hold agreed buffer stock of your critical inputs and deliver against call-offs, which is how local plants de-risk the import pipeline. You get the same specification every batch, SDS and COA documentation where required, and one invoice covering lines that would otherwise come from three SA suppliers plus freight. Tell us your twelve-month usage and we will propose stocking levels and pricing.

The full starter-to-scale basket: SLES 25 and 70, sulphonic acid (LABSA), CDE, nonionic surfactants (NP6/NP9), SLS needles and SLSA for powders and cosmetics, caustic and soda ash as builders, sodium sulphate as filler, thickening salts, preservatives, plus eleven perfumes and colour dyes. Small blenders start at 25 kg packs over the counter; established plants move to 170 kg drums on account at import-linked pricing. Formulation pointers come free with the counter conversation.

Yes — as Henkel’s distributor we carry the industrial side: Technomelt Supra HT350 hotmelt for case and carton sealing, Aquence water-based adhesives for labelling and paper converting, cold glues, labelling adhesives, and polyurethane and synthetic-rubber adhesives for laminating, footwear and upholstery lines. Give us the substrate pair, machine and line speed and we will match a grade — with repeat supply held locally rather than on a foreign order book.

Almost every inland plant is feeding hard water to hot equipment, and the failure sequence is predictable: scale on elements and tubes, efficiency loss, then corrosion under deposits. The programme is softening or sequestration on the feed (hexametaphosphate, water softener), alkalinity control (caustic or soda ash), and periodic inhibited descaling of what has already formed. Cooling towers add biocide dosing against algae and biofilm. Send a recent water analysis and boiler pressure rating; we will spec doses and supply test reagents to monitor it.
