Apexmass Chemical maintains state-of-the-art company in order to ensure consistent products with the unique properties company applications demand. Our Quality Control Department utilizes the most advanced measuring equipment to ensure that our customers receive a top-quality product the first time and every time. Statistical Process Control contributes to our abilities to offer the advantages of continuous improvement.
We use a unique manufacturing process that results in surfactants with very low volatile organic chemical content and minimal amounts of alcohol insolubles and unsulfated matter. These characteristics enable our products to achieve an exceptionally low cloudpoint temperature, making storage and handling far more manageable.
We guarantee around-the-clock technical support from experts who can answer your questions about our products' performance. We would appreciate the opportunity to explore ways we can contribute to the country success. Chemical reaction, a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products. Substances are either chemical elements or compounds. A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products. Chemical reactions are an integral part of technology, of culture, and indeed of life itself. Burning fuels, smelting iron, making glass and pottery, brewing beer, and making wine and cheese are among many examples of activities incorporating chemical reactions that have been known and used for thousands of years. Chemical reactions abound in the geology of Earth, in the atmosphere and oceans, and in a vast array of complicated processes that occur in all living systems. Chemicals are used in many places and in many different ways, including in factories, shops, laboratories, offices, farms and in the home and garden. The chemicals you use at work may include products you buy to use in your core business, or in maintaining your equipment, or in general cleaning.
Chemicals play an important part in our life and we come across umpteen of them in our day to day activities. We are quiet unaware of chemical uses and in this blog you will see examples of chemicals that keep our life going smooth. These chemicals are used either in combined form or as some reagents

It may not be obvious, but industrial chemicals are ingredients used in many end products that are all around us. They are used to make consumer goods - from smart phones to textiles and cleaning products; from foam mattresses to food packaging and clothing. They are also used to make products found in factories, construction sites, farms and hospitals – from pipes to windows and wiring; from fertiliser to machinery components and medical equipment.
