Aluminum sulphate
HS Code: 28332200
Aluminum Sulfate, represented by the molecular formula Al₂(SO₄)₃, is an inorganic compound commonly found as white crystals or powder. It is a non-flammable and non-volatile substance. Known also as alum, this aluminum-based salt alters the pH of water, creating an acidic solution when dissolved.
Ammonium sulphate
HS Code: 31022100
Ammonium sulfate is an inorganic sulfate salt obtained by reacting sulfuric acid with two equivalents of ammonia. It is used as a fertilizer for alkaline soils and as an agricultural spray adjuvant for water-soluble insecticides and fungicides. Growers primarily apply ammonium sulfate where supplemental nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) are needed to meet the nutritional requirements of growing plants.
While ammonium sulfate provides an excellent source of sulfur, its relatively low nitrogen content (21%) often makes it less economical to handle and transport than other, more concentrated nitrogen fertilizers. However, it remains a valuable option for fields deficient in sulfur, as sulfur plays a crucial role in various essential plant functions, including protein synthesis.

Benzoic Acid
HS Code: 291631
Benzoic acid is produced commercially by the partial oxidation of toluene with oxygen.
Benzoic acid and its salts are used as food preservatives, represented by the E numbers E210, E211, E212, and E213. Benzoic acid inhibits the growth of mold, yeast, and some bacteria.
Benzoates are high-solvating plasticizers for PVC, available as either monobenzoates (benzoates) or dibenzoates. They are primarily used in PVC plastisol applications, including flooring and film, as well as in adhesives and sealants.
In medical applications, benzoic acid is a constituent of Whitfield's ointment, which is used to treat fungal skin diseases.
