Chemtrade International Corporation (by its FTLS Group) is a producer and supplier of various industrial chemicals, specifically Liquid Chlorine, Chlorine Gas, Industrial Salt, Aluminium Chloride Anhydrous, and Liquid Chlorine Gas. Chemtrade is located at Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India and provides these chemicals to various industries like water treatment, manufacturing units and chemical processing with a thrust towards quality, safe delivery and timely delivery.
Liquid chlorine gas is chlorine that is compressed and cooled to create a liquid state under pressure. For Chemtrade, Liquid Chlorine Gas is a product and a shipment form as well, and it is less difficult to transport and to store when compared to gaseous chlorine. Industrially, liquid chlorine gas is applied wherever high concentration chlorine is needed—large scale bleach productions, pulp & paper bleaching, or disinfection at municipal water facilities. Since the liquid form contains more chlorine per volume, it is optimal for those high usage applications. Precautions are imperative: corrosion-resistant storage, pressure regulation, and qualified handling.
Aluminium chloride anhydrous is an anhydrous version of the chemical Aluminium chloride with no water of crystallization. Hygroscopic and highly reactive, it is an excellent catalyst especially in Friedel‐Crafts reactions during chemical manufacture, e.g., alkylation and acylation of arenes. The chemical is further utilized during manufacture of dyes and pharmaceuticals and some polymers and as a syn‐intermediate or catalyst during organic syntheses. During water treatment, less frequently compared to other aluminum‐based coagulants, its derivatives or its hydrated version can be applied. In Chemtrade's case, Aluminium Chloride Anhydrous is one of their specialty chemicals featured among their products to chemical producers.
Industrial salt, normally sodium chloride (NaCl) in large grades with controlled purity, is another Chemtrade offering. It appears less centrally in everyday life but indirectly is ubiquitous through its myriad downstream applications. Industrially, salt is applied in chlorine production (electrolysis of sodium brine), foodstuffs manufacture, tannery work, soap manufacture, de‐icing, water softening, and as bulk raw feed to chemical works. For water treaters, salt can be added to supply processes such as reverse osmosis pre‐treatment or ion exchange resin regeneration. Purity and form as crystals can differ by application—industrial salt requires defined grain size and impurity limits. Chemtrade supply consistency thus assists the downstream user to minimize troubles.
The chlorine gas (Cl₂ in its gaseous state) is a strong oxidizing and disinfecting agent. Small controlled quantities are applied in everyday life to kill pathogens during purification of water supplied to municipalities to make drinking water safe. Controlled additions of chlorine gas (or its analogous chemicals) are added to pools to maintain hygienic water. Industrially, chlorine gas is utilized during manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), solvents, disinfectants, and bleaching paper pulp and textile materials and other chemical syntheses. Chemtrade is a supplier of chlorine gas (as well as its various formats contained in cylinders) for similar purposes. Handling chlorine gas is done with tight security procedures owing to its toxicity and its corrosiveness.
"Liquid chlorine" is frequently used to denote solutions of chlorine in water or another vehicle, or chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite (bleach) releasing chlorine. For everyday life, liquid chlorine is known as household bleach: for disinfection, cleaning surfaces and floors, whitening clothes, sanitizing bathrooms and kitchens. For industry and municipal water supply system, liquid chlorine is valued for convenience of dosing (liquid is less difficult to measure and pump and to mix) and potent germ-killing and algae-controlling action. Other industrial applications are bleaching paper, pulp and textiles, chemical productions, treatment of process water and sewage water. The advantages are potent disinfection power, comparatively fast action and economic when properly handled.
Liquid chlorine and its companion chlorine products provide key public health services—safe drinking water, sanitation, disinfection. They are industrially founded upon bleaching, synthesis, effluent treatment, maintenance of hygiene. Salts and aluminium chloride anhydrous are used to support infrastructure: salt is raw material supply source, aluminium chloride is catalyst or coagulant.
Because Chemtrade International offers all these chemicals, customers frequently can source whatever they desire from a sole source base. Chemtrade International's expertise in quality, safety, and selection renders its list beneficial to a broad scope: small municipalities to huge scale chemical manufacturers.
