Icumsa 600 1200 : Known As Brown Sugar
It is less refined and is produced after the first crystallization of sugar cane. Raw brown sugar from sugar cane, when fully refined, contains about 70% white sugar.
Often used in the production of alcohol, baking, and by industries that need a more natural, less processed sugar. Known for its strong molasses flavor and rich color, making it ideal for products that benefit from these qualities, such as rum and dark spirits.
Icumsa 150 : Known As Crystal Sugar
It has a light brown or golden hue. The lower the ICUMSA value, the whiter and purer the sugar. Commonly used in the production of baked goods, confectionery, and syrups. Also consumed directly in regions where such sugar is preferred over completely white sugar.
It is partially refined, meaning it undergoes fewer refining steps than white sugar (ICUMSA <45). This allows it to retain a slightly higher molasses content, contributing to its color and flavor. Suitable for industrial use, such as in food and beverage manufacturing.
Icumsa 45 : Known As White Sugar
The sugar has a white, sparkling appearance with a color rating of 45 ICUMSA units, which is the lowest in the white sugar category. This color grade is achieved through an extensive refining process.
The moisture content in ICUMSA 45 sugar is typically very low, around 0.04%, contributing to its longer shelf life and stability. It has a fine granular consistency [0.5 to 1.0 mm] which makes it highly soluble, a desired property for various industrial applications.
Urea
Urea is a chemical compound with the formula CO(NH₂)₂. It is a colorless, odorless, and highly soluble solid. It is also widely used in agriculture and industry. In fertilizers, it provides plants with nitrogen, an essential nutrient for their growth.
Automotive-grade urea, also known as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), is a high-purity solution of 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water. It is primarily used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems in diesel vehicles, especially those with newer, more environmentally friendly engines.
Cement
Cement is a finely ground powder, is primarily made from limestone, clay, shells, and silica. When mixed with water, it undergoes a chemical reaction called hydration, which makes it harden and gain strength.
Cement is graded based on its compressive strength (measured in megapascals or MPa) at 28 days of curing. The grades are:
32.5 Grade Cement (general, construction),
42.5 Grade Cement (residential buildings),
52.5 Grade Cement (bridges, high-rise buildings)
