• Ferrous Sulfate: aka Iron (11) sulfate, found in many foods
Inorganic chemicals produced or sold by NuGenTec are used by numerous industries for different products, such as plastics and glass. Inorganic chemicals come from the Earth's gases, and are primarily used in materials produced with carbon dioxide, chlorine, alkalis’, nitrogen and color pigments. Inorganic chemicals such as soda ash (sodium carbonate) and sodium chlorate offered by NuGenTec are derived from alkali and carbon matter. These materials are eventually manufactured in the form of soaps and detergents. Nitrogen, hydrogen and other specialty gases are usually found in electronics, aerospace and medical applications, as well as in ammonia production and oil refining. Carbon dioxide is another inorganic chemical that is found in carbonated beverages and refrigeration processes. Paints, coatings and metal oxides include inorganic chemicals as part of their key chemical ingredients. The inorganic chemicals at NuGenTec are an essential part of the production process for many industries.
NuGenTec’s inorganic bulk chemicals include ACS (American Chemical Society) Grade Chemicals and Reagent Chemicals. The American Chemical Society (ACS) Committee on Analytical Reagents sets the specifications for most chemicals, including bulk inorganic chemicals, used in analytical testing.
