Chemical supply in Kolkata, West Bengal
Eastern India's oldest paint companies still buy pigments, resins and solvents in and around Kolkata, and the city's demand has spread from there. Formulation plants, food processors and the Bantala leather complex all run QC labs. Jute mills along the Hooghly use processing chemicals, while Haldia, further downriver, hosts a refinery and petrochemical units. Academic research is strong too, with Jadavpur University, the Indian Institute of Chemical Biology and the Bose Institute ordering reagents and biochemicals. Zemixal dispatches to Kolkata by road from Ahmedabad, normally in five to eight days, and sends urgent laboratory packs by air courier. A COA and GHS SDS accompany each lot.
