To ensure highest quality and service to its customers, Himadri has raw material tie ups with all the major Indian and Global Steel manufacturers.
Napthalene Derivatives
Himadri utilizes state-of-the-art technology in multi stage refining units using which we produce chemically treated Naphthalene Oil which is distilled in Rectification/Fractionating Column followed by further purification in refiners. The raw material used is Naphthalene Oil extracted from high temperature crude coal tar, which is fractionally distilled in a series of distillation tower. Stringent monitoring by our highly skilled and experienced team makes it possible to achieve the target quality consistently.
SNF
This division manufactures Sulphonated Naphthalene Formaldehyde (SNF) condensate products at its Mahistikry in West Bengal and Vapi in Gujarat Plants under guidance of highly experienced technical persons using state of the art production system. Himadri Speciality Chemicals Ltd is the largest SNF manufacturer in India. These speciality products are used in Concrete, Agro, Rubber and Gypsum Board manufacturing. Products are also exported to Asia Pacific, Srilanka, Bangladesh, Middle East.
PCE
This division is manufacturing Polycarboxylate Ether (PCE) products at its Mahistikry in West Bengal and Vapi in Gujarat Plants under guidance of highly experienced technical persons using state of the art production system. Himadri Speciality Chemicals Ltd has the largest PCE manufacturing facility in India and an in-house R&D Centre with sophisticated instruments run by highly qualified and experienced persons. These speciality polymers are produced as per customised specifications and the range of products include from high water reduction, high water reduction/ slump retention , very high slump retention grades and are equivalent to imported products.
Corrosion Protection
The range of Anti- corrosion products is produced by using best quality High temperature carbonisation Coal Tar that has the optimum resistivity to both Acid and alkali attack. In all climatic condition and severe salinity of sea water, the anti - corrosion products developed by Himadri is ideally suitable with very long protective duration
Speciality Oil
Himadri has developed special types of oils to cater to different industries. These are the by-products of our state-of-the-art multi-stage coal tar distillation process. The distillation process is continuous and not the conventional batch process. The process is carried out through a series of fractional distillation columns. Specific qualities/grades of oil are cut off from the distillation process. Ultimately, the customized products are formulated by blending different cut oils in specific ratios to suit downstream requirement of customers' product processing.
Power
Himadri generates clean and green power, which is marketed to the state electricity grid and consumed in-house. Himadri uses low caloric value waste gas coming out from Carbon Black Process which is utilized in the Boilers. Boilers are especially designed to generate High Pressure & High Temperature steam. This High Pressure & High temperature steam in turn drives the Turbo- Generators to generate Power. We are using as much process energy possible which would otherwise have gone waste to fulfill our commitment of energy conservation & environment protection.
