Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
Hydrochloric acid is produced as a co-product from the Mannheim process where Potassium Chloride is reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid to produce Potassium Sulfate.
Hydrochloric acid is used in the following industries:
| Steel | Food | Printed Circuit Boards |
| Waste water treatment | Electronics | Textiles |
| Paper Mills | Manufacture of batteries | Household cleaners |
Inchem's Hydrochloric Acid plant has a rated capacity of 24,000 metric tons per year.

Calcium Chloride (CaCl2)
Inchem imports Calcium Chloride flakes at 74% concentration.
Inchem's CaCl2 is used industries such as paper mills, ice plants and traders industries. Its uses include ice control, dust control and brining.
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH; Caustic Soda)
Inchem now imports 50% liquid caustic soda and trades this chemical to various industries in the Philippines.
Caustic Soda is used in various industries such as:
| Boiler Compounds | Bottling - Bottle Washing | Foods and Food Processing | Soap | Pulp and Paper Industries |
| Electroplating | Drain Pipe Solvents | Water Treatment | Chemical Industries | Dyes |
| Paint and Varnish Removers | Metal Cleaning Compounds | Textile Bleaching, Dyeing and Finishing |
