Beyond distribution
More than a trader. A formulation partner.
We don’t just ship drums. For four decades we’ve helped drinking-water utilities, industrial plants and drilling-fluid brands sharpen their chemistry — a custom high-basicity PAC for a tricky raw-water feed, a tailored CMC viscosity for a new mud system, a bespoke starch blend for an HTHP well. When a standard grade won’t cut it, our team helps you design one that will.
- Samples & trials
Lab samples and treatability support so your team can qualify a grade before committing.
- Custom blends
Bespoke basicity, viscosity or grade tuning where off-the-shelf product doesn’t fit.
- New-product support
We work alongside R&D on new formulations — from bench to first production run.
Two customer tracks
One chemistry team, two well-understood audiences.
PAC — polyaluminium chloride
Liquid 10% and 18%, powder 30%. EN 883 grades for drinking water; high-basicity grades for municipal and industrial wastewater, and pulp & paper.

About
Independent, technical, answerable.
Founded in the Netherlands in 1984, Water Ingredients is an independent specialty-chemistry house. We hold stock, ship in bulk, and stay at the bench with your R&D team when a new grade is needed. Our people speak fluently to municipal water engineers, plant chemists and drilling-fluid formulators alike.
