Chemicals were important for the mankind even before the industrial revolution. While chemicals helped towards improving life in many ways, their use in war and as a war weapon is also not unknown. As of now, chemicals play a leading role towards manufacturing quality and safe products in a number of industries including pharmaceuticals, food, automobile and other industrial segments. It is important to know the basic structure and classification of chemicals. Some important facts about chemicals like acetic acid, caustic soda and sulphuric acid are shared here.

Acetic acid has a strong smell and sour taste and is also known as ethnic acid. The raw and concentrated form of the acid may be a cause of irritation of the eyes, skin, throat, and lungs. The chemical hence needs to be used with proper care and attention. Apart from being of tremendous use in the pharmaceutical industry, acetic acid is also used for producing and manufacturing soft drinks, photographic films, and the wood glue. The additive is used widely in the food industry is also helpful towards optimizing the pH of solutions and liquids.

Caustic Soda with a strong base can cause burns and can corrode surfaces. The widely used industrial alkali or Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is used for producing the soaps. It is also used for fatty acid blends and for decomposing the fats and oils.

Sulphuric acid cantered chemical trading will be around 260 million tonnes by the end of the year 2018 worldwide. The substance is used in making fertilizers including superphosphate and ammonium sulphate. It is also used for reproduction of detergents, the automobile batteries, other chemicals (including dyes, explosives, drugs, and pigments). It is used for petroleum refining, for removing water during some kind of chemical reactions, towards electroplating and in other instance of purity and cleaning as well. One of most potent acids, it should always be used with caution.

The well-known solvent also facilitates the extraction of certain soluble compounds. It is reactive and hence needs to be used with caution and care. HVAC systems use chloroform in the form of refrigerant. But as it can damage the environment, its use is slowly being replaced by other refrigerants. Chloroform is an anaesthetic and makes a person unconscious. These are some widely used chemicals for industrial processes and product manufacturing. The leading chemical importers bring to industries high quality and certified chemicals at affordable costs, though they need to reach to the best of them for attaining the benefits.
