Since the late 1940s we have been one of the world's leading producers of high-purity aluminum-based specialty chemicals. We produce high-purity vaccine adjuvants and potassium chloride used in sports drinks, low or no sodium foods, electrolyte replacement pharmaceuticals and intravenous solutions.

Potassium Chloride
Chances are we have a potassium chloride (KCl) product just right for you. As a major global supplier to the pharmaceutical industry, we go beyond standard grades to offer unique particle sizes, crystal shapes, purity, and packaging.  This versatility allows us to met customer needs without sacrificing quality.  Potassium Chloride (Pharma-K KCl ) is used as an API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) in ethical drugs.  It serves as a potassium source in medications and in hemodialysis and intravenous solutions.  It is also a potassium source for patients using hypertensives and other drugs that can cause potassium loss.

Beyond our USP, FCC, and ACS products, we market many unique grades.  Our KCl resists hardening for up to 12 weeks without anticaking agents.  We assure the quality of our KCl products in many ways, certifying them under compendia worldwide (USP, BP, EP, JP, FCC, and ACS). 

Vaccine Adjuvants
For the pharmaceutical industry, General Chemical produces aluminum hydroxide and aluminum phosphate gels for vaccine adjuvants.  We are a global supplier in animal health markets with a growing presence in human applications. In addition to our current commercial grades, General Chemical offers customized adjuvants to meet the needs of specific vaccines.

Potassium Hydroxide Pellets / Sodium Hydroxide Pellets
In the pharmaceutical industry, potassium hydroxide pellets and sodium hydroxide pellets are used for pH and alkalinity adjustment, as a reactant, catalyst and processing aid, and as a softener for the epidermis. The high quality of our caustic pellets makes us a valuable supplier to customers concerned with impurity levels.  Also, the pelletized form provides a simple means of handling for improved concentration control.
