Why refiners buy from us
Our own mines
Our fuller’s earth comes from our own leases at Marepally and Indol in Vikarabad. No trader sits between the pit and your order.
Stock through the monsoon
The mines work six months a year. We hold stock under cover and despatch for twelve, so the rains do not become your shortage.
Three grades from one mine
Mined (untreated), acid activated and carbon activated. Tell us the oil and the problem, and we will send the grade that suits it.
Tested before it ships
An in-house laboratory on site, and SGS for third-party testing when your approval needs an outside name on the report.

Traceable from the bag back
Batch number and production date go on the bag before it leaves the shed, and the certificate of analysis is written against that batch. The number in your yard and the number in your file are the same number.
Trial it against what you use now
Samples are drawn from a production lot and ship with that lot’s analysis, so what you test on the bench is what arrives on the truck.
