Sourcing chemicals and coatings through Roptan

Textile, leather, food and water treatment plants in Bangladesh use acids, alkalis, dyes, auxiliaries and resins, most of them imported, while local plants make caustic soda, hydrogen peroxide, soap, detergents and cosmetics.

Roptan asks for the import permit where one applies, a safety data sheet for every product and a certificate of analysis for each batch, and agrees storage and handling terms before delivery.
