Fine chemicals are single, complex and pure substances that are produced in very small quantities in multipurpose plants via biotechnological processes. Once produced, fine chemicals are used for specialized applications where they take the form of pharmaceutical ingredients, biocides and specialized chemicals.
Bulk chemicals on the other hand are mass produced chemicals produced in large quantities via standardized reactions. The main difference between fine chemicals and bulk chemicals is that fine chemicals are hard to make and require a large amount of research. Due to their often changing chemistry, fine chemicals are more expensive to produce. Being produced in small batches, the variety of fine chemicals is very large due to which, the chemistries of making them have to be flexible. The chemistry of these substances often changes whenever a new drug is introduced to the market. Fine chemicals produced can be differentiated into three main forms, active pharmaceutical ingredients, biocides and specialty chemicals.
The end products of active pharmaceutical ingredients usually have a different composition because fine chemicals are never sold directly but are mixed with various inert pigments, solvents and excipients and are then produced in different doses as medical drugs. Biocides which also include herbicides and pesticides are often used in agriculture to kill weeds and pests in order to increase crop yields. Specialty chemicals on the other hand are used for technical applications like an additive in plastics, ceramics, glass or even as a disinfectant or an antioxidant while some like Sulphamic acid are used for producing dyes and pigments.
Hence having multiple uses, hard to get and available in small quantities, these fine chemicals are a base for a wide variety of products. One can get the best prices for fine chemicals in UAE at Global Trust Enterprises, a general trading company in Dubai where they supply over a 100 well known, internationally renowned brands to manufacturers and suppliers in the Middle East and South Africa.
