Commodity Chemicals for Manufacturing & Industrial in Namibia

The working four — SLES, sulphonic acid, caustic (to neutralise), and salt for thickening — plus perfume and dye, all available in 25 kg starter quantities over the counter with formulation pointers included. From there the range deepens as your line does: CDE for foam, builders, preservatives. Most Namibian cleaning brands started with exactly this basket at our counter.

Yes — spec continuity is deliberate policy: we source the same grades from the same suppliers so your validated formulation, viscosity targets and active-matter calculations survive every reorder. Where a global supply change forces a substitution, you get the data sheet and warning before the delivery, never after the customer complaint.

Explicitly: food-grade propylene glycol, glycerine and dextrose carry their grade documentation and COAs for your supplier file, sourced and stored as such. Your invoice distinguishes grades line by line, which is what a NSI-type audit or export customer’s questionnaire actually checks.

Same day for anything on the floor — that is the practical advantage of a local stockholder for R&D: buy 25 kg, formulate this week, iterate next week. When the product launches, the same account scales to drums without changing chemistry. Compare that loop against a month per iteration through SA procurement.
