Miscellaneous & Workshop: your questions answered

Can Swachem source products that are not in the catalogue?

Yes — the catalogue itself closes with the invitation: if you did not find what you were looking for, contact our sales team to source it for you. As an importer and agent with direct lines to Henkel, NCS, Pekay, ACE, Efekto, Woodoc, Sicomin and Biodyne plus decades of trade contacts, we regularly bring in specialities — a specific Loctite grade, an unusual reagent, a resin system — on customer request. Give us the technical name or data sheet and the quantity, and we will quote landed cost and lead time.

What restores faded truck headlights and scratched paintwork?

The Teroson detailing pair. Teroson 178 HP removes the UV haze from headlight lenses — a genuine safety issue on Namibian night roads — and the Teroson WX cutting compounds (WX 154, WX 159 XP, WX 157 HP) polish scratch marks out of vehicle paint in ascending fineness. Fleet operators run these through their wash bays with our Fleet Wash and Wash & Wax; the 3.78-litre WX packs are sized for exactly that trade use.

Why do you sell de-ionised water, and is it the same as distilled?

De-ionised water has had its dissolved salts removed through ion exchange — functionally interchangeable with distilled for the jobs our customers buy it for: battery topping, diluting chemicals accurately, steam irons, radiators and fish tanks, as the catalogue notes. In Namibia this matters more than most places because tap and borehole water is hard; topping a battery with it scales the plates. Stocked in 750 ml, 5 L and 25 L alongside battery acid, so the battery bay orders once.

Do you stock the rollers and brushes for fibreglass and Woodoc work?

A full wall of them: aluminium paddle and corner rollers for de-airing laminate (70–140 mm), mohair and sheepskin rollers, Re-Poxy rollers for epoxy floors, radiator brushes, Blondie and Handy paint brushes, plus pressure and trigger sprayers. The catalogue lists the roller-and-brush range explicitly for applying fibreglass products and the Woodoc range. Buying the application tools with the product means the counter can match nap and width to the job — and you are not gluing a job with the wrong roller.
