Butyl glycol (also known as BG, 2-butoxyethanol, glycol monobutyl ether and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether) is a clear, colourless, oily liquid with a unique yet mild odour and has the formula C₆H₁₄O₂.  Butylglycol is miscible with water and common organic solvents. It has been produced commercially for over half a century where it is most commonly used in the paint industry.

Caustic Potash, also known as potassium hydroxide and KOH are a white odorless solid.

It is used commonly in glass manufacturing, cleaners, process chemicals, petroleum industry and food processing.

Citric acid is a weak organic acid which occurs naturally in citrus fruits and serves as a natural preservative/conservative used in adding an acidic or sour taste to foods and drinks. It is a commodity chemical used mainly as an acidifier, as a flavoring, and as a chelating agent.

The dominant use of citric acid is as a flavoring and preservative in food and beverages, especially soft drinks. Citric acid can be added to ice cream as an emulsifying agent to keep fats from separating, to caramel to prevent sucrose crystallization, or in recipes in place of fresh lemon juice. Citric acid is used with sodium bicarbonate in a wide range of effervescent formulae, both for ingestion (e.g., powders and tablets) and for personal care (e.g., bath salts, bath bombs, and cleaning of grease). Citric acid is also often used in cleaning products and sodas or fizzy drinks.

It is an excellent chelating agent binding metals. It is used to remove lime scale from boilers and evaporators. It can be used to soften water, which makes it useful in soaps and laundry detergents. By chelating the metals in hard water, it lets these cleaners produce foam and work better without need for water softening. Citric acid is the active ingredient in some bathroom and kitchen cleaning solutions. It is used to dissolve rust from steel and used in shampoo to wash out wax and coloring from the hair.

Dextrose commonly called Glucose is widely used as an energy supplement for the body. The chemical D-glucose is sometimes referred to as dextrose. Glucose is produced commercially via the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch, mostly available in monohydrate form. Many crops can be used as the source of getting dextrose starch. Crops like Maize, rice, wheat, cassava, corn husk and sago are all used in various parts of the world. It is mostly available in both monohydrate and anhydrous form.

Most commercial glucose occurs as a component of invert sugar, a roughly 1:1 mixture of glucose and fructose. Glucose has approximately 75% the sweetness of sucrose (table sugar)

Glucose Liquid also called Glucose syrup is a food syrup, made from the hydrolysis of starch. Maize (corn) is commonly used, in which case the syrup is called “corn syrup”, but glucose syrup is also made from other starch crops, including potatoes, wheat, barley, rice and cassava.

Glucose syrup containing over 90% glucose is used in industrial fermentation, but syrups used in confectionery manufacture contain varying amounts of glucose, maltose and higher oligosaccharides, depending on the grade, and can typically contain 10% to 43% glucose.

Glucose syrup is used in foods to soften texture, add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor. By converting some of the glucose in corn syrup into fructose (using an enzymatic process), a sweeter product, high fructose corn syrup can be produced.

Its major uses in commercially prepared foods are as a thickener, sweetener, and humectant (an ingredient that retains moisture and thus maintains a food’s freshness). Glucose syrup is also widely used in the manufacture of a variety of candy products.

Glycerin and rosewater is a cooling, refreshing beautifier that softens and moisturises the skin. Lanolin-free and dermatologically tested. This product is formulated and produced by boots skin care specialists from traditional ingredients

Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits, is a chemical produced in a catalytic industrial process directly from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.

Methanol is the simplest alcohol. It is a light, volatile, colorless and flammable liquid with a distinctive odor very similar to that of ethanol (drinking alcohol). However, unlike ethanol, methanol is highly toxic and unfit for consumption.

At room temperature, it is a polar liquid, and is used as an antifreeze, solvent, fuel, and as a denaturant for ethanol. It is also used for producing biodiesel via transesterification reaction.

Because of its toxic properties, methanol is frequently used as a denaturant additive for ethanol manufactured for industrial uses. The largest use of methanol by far is in making other chemicals. About 40% of methanol is converted to formaldehyde, and from there into products as diverse as plastics, plywood, paints, explosives, and permanent press textiles.

Other chemical derivatives of methanol include dimethyl ether, which has replaced chlorofluorocarbons as an aerosol spray propellant, and acetic acid. Dimethyl ether (DME) also can be blended with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for home heating and cooking, and can be used as a diesel replacement for transportation fuel.

Methanol is used as a solvent, and as an antifreeze in pipelines and windshield washer fluid. It is also useful as an energy carrier. It is easier to store than hydrogen, burns cleaner than fossil fuels, and decomposes to water and carbon dioxide if spilled.
