INORGANIC / BASIC CHEMICALS
While basic chemicals rarely reach the consumer in its original form, the contribution they provide to make modern day living possible is immense.
Inorganic chemicals are used in water and wastewater treatment by almost all industries including the chemical industry, power generation, food processing, electronics, steel industries and many more. Inorganic chemicals are important raw materials in the manufacture of fertilizers, pulp and paper, batteries, soaps and detergents.
Responding to the growing consumption of basic chemicals
The inorganic chemicals industry started approximately 40 years ago with the production of sulfuric acid and calcium carbide. This came in response to the growing consumption of basic chemicals in mineral processing and the manufacture of fertilizers, soap and detergents. Pioneer corporations in the basic chemical sector include Mabuhay Vinyl andd International Chemical Industries.
