Calcium Formate 98% is used as an animal feed preservative. It acidifies the feed and by doing so, it prevents the growth of microbes and increases the shelf life of the feed. It prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi. It is used as a masking agent in chrome tanning of leather because it enhances the efficiency of leather penetration of the chrome. Calcium Formate is also used as a replacement of formic acid for the pickling process. It is also used as a grout and cement additive. It adds desirable properties to the final products. It helps increase hardness and decrease the setting time. It prevents the corrosion of metal substrates within cement or grout. It very effectively prevents efflorescence. Calcium Formate functions as a fire retardant in drywall. Its mixtures with urea are very effective deicers. These cause less corrosion of steel and cement surfaces.

Anhydrous citric acid has similar properties to citric acid monohydrate. The difference is the crystallization procedure. While the monohydrate citric acid is crystalized in cold water, the anhydrous forms are crystallized in water at a temperature of 78 degrees Celsius. In the process, it loses all the water within the crystals.

Despite being a monohydrate salt (crystallized from clod water) the salt can also crystalize in hot water to become anhydrous (water-free). This property becomes possible as it has a high melting point of 156 degrees Celsius. This property along with the ability to bond with other metal ions to form complex molecules makes it a good chelating agent for several industrial applications. Some of these applications include the removal of limescale from evaporators and boilers.

Copper sulfate is used in swimming pools as an algaecide. It is also used for the control of invasive plants in the pools and controls roots that may have punctured the piping system. Fish farmers use it to kill off the invasive types of snails in aquariums. However, its use in the aquarium is highly controlled, as it is toxic to fish in high quantities.

Liquid Caustic Soda Lye is basic a solution of sodium hydroxide. Depending on the intended application, it can be diluted to 32% or 50 %. The solution is colourless and does not have any smells. It is a salt formed by the reaction of sodium and water.

Diethanol Isopropanolamine 85% (DEIPA 85%) is a colorless to pale yellow transparent and viscous liquid. It is completely soluble in water, also soluble in ethanol, acetone, glycerine, and ethylene glycol. It has a very light ammonia like smell.

The 85% phosphoric acid is an aqueous solution that is colourless, odourless and not volatile. It presents in the form of a syrup, thick but still pourable. The basic conjugate base of this acid is a dihydrogen phosphate anion which is a mix of hydrogen and phosphate ions.

Primarily, Triethanolamine is used in making surfactants. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor. It is used as a neutraliser for fatty acids. It is used to adjust and buffer the pH. It solubilises oils and other insoluble ingredients. In some specific cases Triethanolamine salts are more soluble than the alkali metal salts. It is used as an additive in cement production because it facilitates the grinding process. It is found in many ear-drops that are used for treating ear diseases and infections. It is also used as a complexing agent for aluminium ions in aqueous solutions. In photographic processing too Triethanolamine is very useful.

Zinc Chloride 98% has the appearance of a white or colorless crystalline solid. It is hygroscopic and very deliquescent. It is odourless. It is highly soluble in water.
