Algicides & Biocides
A biocide is a tool intended to control any harmful organism in a way that is not purely physical or mechanical. Biocidal products are used to protect people and animals, preserve goods, stop pests and control viruses, bacteria and fungi through either chemical or biological action. This includes disinfectants, wood preservatives and insect repellents. Algicides are a specific type of biocide used for killing and preventing the growth of algae in controlled bodies of water like reservoirs, ponds and swimming pools. With purity, safety and efficiency to consider, it is imperative that you trust the quality of the biocides you use in your business, as well as rely on your chemical distributor for accurate, on-time service, customer support and supply chain expertise. Contact us today to find the right biocide for your business needs.

Bioaugmentation
Bioaugmentation involves the addition of microorganisms that have the ability to biodegrade molecules in the polluted environment. This approach is both more cost-effective, more sustainable and kinder to the environment compared to physico-chemical options. Univar Solutions offers a broad range of sustainable bioaugmentation tools from industry leading manufacturers. With safety and efficiency also to consider, it is imperative that you trust the quality of any chemical you use in your business, as well as rely on your chemical distributor for accurate, on-time service, customer support and supply chain expertise. Our product and technical experts can help you formulate sustainable products, meet new regulatory requirements, resolve formulation or supply challenges, and improve the formulated product cost.

Calcium Hydroxide / Lime
Calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime, is an inorganic compound with a wide range of uses, making it a key ingredient in many products and processes. It is most often used as a neutralizing chemical and in the preparation of lime mortar. Calcium hydroxide can also be used in food preparation, as a flocculant in water and sewage treatment, in the manufacturing of pesticides, in the production of paints and waterproofing materials, in the leather industry and many more. Contact Univar Solutions to find out more about calcium hydroxide today.

Activated Carbon
Activated Carbon (also known as activated charcoal) is most commonly used to filter contaminants from water and air, but also has uses in solvent recovery, decaffeination, metal extraction, water purification, sewage treatment, teeth whitening, the production of hydrogen chloride and more. Activated carbon is an allowed substance used by organic farmers in both livestock production and wine making. The adsorbing aspects of activated charcoal have also made it a popular additive in many skin care products. Contact Univar Solutions today to discover the best activated carbon solution for your needs.

Coagulants
Coagulants are an essential part of a water treatment system. By neutralising particles in the wastewater system, they will start to coagglomerate. During that process, small flocs will form, although capped to a limited size. Coagulants can independently remove many pollutants but are often used in combination with flocculants to achieve the best results. The most common coagulants are iron or aluminum salts, which are part of Univar Solutions broad portfolio of water treatment ingredients and products, providing a one-stop-shop solution to your water purification needs.

Filtering Agents & Adsorbants
Univar Solutions offers a broad portfolio of water treatment ingredients and products, providing a one-stop-shop solution to your water purification needs. Clean process water is of the utmost importance in achieving quality in the production processes. Impurities in process water can affect the quality of the product. Water filtration removes unwanted impurities from water such as sediment, taste and odour, hardness and bacteria, resulting in better quality water. Adsorption is the aggregation of atoms or molecules on the surface of a material, forming a layer of adsorbate. Adsorbents are usually used in the form of spherical particles, rods, moulded parts or as a whole. Univar Solutions proudly represent several of the world’s leading chemical manufacturers. Our supplier-branded range is complimented by Univar Solutions’ trusted portfolio of CAFLON™ Flocculants & Coagulants, Modified Acids/Alkalis, Surfactants, and Chelates.
Flocculants
Our flocculants provide a vast array of options, allowing you to match the right product for your unique needs. Flocculation is a crucial step in any water treatment system, and flocculants are essential to that process. By introducing these substances into a solution, particles are grouped together to form easily removable 'flocs'. This allows for easy extraction of harmful impurities like suspended solids, dissolved solids, organic and inorganic elements, and metals. Water treatment has long relied on two key flocculant types: powder and emulsion, which comprise the bulk of the industry's market share. But a new player is fast emerging – water-based dispersion polymers open an exciting door for more innovative solutions.
Ion Exchange Resins
Ion-exchange resins are insoluble polymers that are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to prevent tablets from binding to the surface of the tongue and the oral cavity and for the suppression of unpleasant tastes. They are light and porous solids, usually created in the form of granules, beads, or sheets. Ion-exchange resins are also widely used in water softening and water purification within separation, purification, and decontamination processes. Univar Solutions is committed to providing the best possible products and services to our customers, and our team of experts are always available to offer advice and support.

Non-Silicone Antifoams
Our antifoams are designed to control foam formation and stabilise foam in a variety of industrial and household applications. Antifoams help to reduce costs by minimising waste and improve your product quality by preventing foam from forming. In certain applications, non-silicone foam control products are preferred due to concerns about silicones contributing to undesirable surface defects, and also due to product shortages. Our products are based on cutting-edge technology and are highly effective at preventing foam formation and stabilisation. Our products are safe for use in a variety of industries, including food processing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and more. Contact us to learn more about our antifoams portfolio.
