What Are Basic Chemicals?
Basic chemicals, also known as foundational chemicals, include simple chemical compounds or elements produced on a large scale to meet industrial demands. They are core components for producing more complex chemicals, especially in textile dyeing, water treatment, plastic manufacturing, and fertilizer industries.

Industrial Applications of Basic Chemicals
1. Manufacturing Industries
Textiles:
Sodium hydroxide for cotton mercerization, enhancing fabric luster and durability.
Sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide for dyeing and bleaching processes.
Paper:
Sodium hydroxide dissolves wood lignin, while chlorine or aluminum sulfate improves bleaching and product strength.
Wastewater treatment:
Aluminum sulfate and PAC coagulate to remove contaminants and insoluble impurities.
Sulfuric acid and NaOH adjust pH for optimal treatment efficiency.
Feedwater treatment:
Chlorine and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) effectively disinfect, ensuring safe water supply.
Oil & gas:
HCl and NaOH produce drilling additives, protecting equipment from corrosion and optimizing drilling performance.
Plastics:
Styrene and ethylene serve as primary polymer feedstocks for polyethylene and polypropylene production.

Basic Chemicals FAQ
What are basic chemicals and how do they differ from specialty chemicals?
Basic chemicals (commodity chemicals) are industrial-scale compounds with simple formulas like H₂SO₄, NaOH, HCl, NH₃. They differ from specialty chemicals by serving as multi-industry raw materials, having large production volumes, lower costs, and requiring no application-specific refinement. Specialty chemicals are synthesized from basic chemicals with higher purity and complex formulas.
How do PAC and aluminum sulfate Al₂(SO₄)₃ differ?
PAC (Poly Aluminium Chloride) has stronger coagulation due to longer aluminum polymer chains, effective across pH 5–9, forming larger flocs that settle 15–25% faster. Aluminum sulfate suits low-turbidity water with limited budgets. For high-SS industrial wastewater or dye-colored water, PAC typically achieves 15–25% better treatment efficiency. Loc Thien supplies both — free consultation via hotline 0979 89 19 29.
What documents are required to purchase basic chemicals?
Per Decree 113/2017/ND-CP, concentrated H₂SO₄, HCl, and NH₃ are conditionally traded chemicals. Buyers must provide: Business license, chemical receipt forms, and usage purpose commitment. Loc Thien provides full documentation: CoA, MSDS, compliant VAT invoices.
How to safely store H₂SO₄ and NaOH chemicals?
H₂SO₄ requires HDPE plastic/stainless steel tanks, avoiding iron/water contact (strong exothermic reaction). NaOH is highly hygroscopic — store sealed in PE bags/drums away from moisture and aluminum materials. Never co-store. Chemical warehouses need ventilation, sub-35°C temperatures, acid/alkali-resistant flooring, and TCVN 5507:2002-compliant emergency eyewash stations.
