Products and propensities
Though the company has its blan-
ket products, it can service customers
more bespokely by creating special
order products. There are often busi-
nesses looking for deviations from the
blanket norm, chemical formulations
with unique edges for those exciting
USPs. In cases like these, Chemsol’s
consulting chemist develops a fresh
formulation for that marketplace. Na-

Agreement”.
Chemsol does provide quite the array
of offerings and services, but the ones

a boon considering some of the issues
stale fuel can create - algae growth,
blocked fuel filters and sulphuric acid
build-up to name but a few.
“Our product emulsifies the water in
the fuel and harmlessly burns it off,
also eliminating the prospect of having
to drain the tanks and clean them out
manually.”
“At the end of it all, this can save the
customer from some expensive expe-
riences.”

comes from an interestingly wide vari-
ety of products, industries and its own
local business consumers. Chemsol
crafts products for automotive, indus-
trial, mining, domestic and agricultur-
al use. While it holds ownership of the
