| General |
In its beginnings in Argentina, the company
developed products for the incipient leather industry, working with tanning
agents and castor oils.
Later, it became the first producer of
Aluminum Sulfate in the country, replacing the imports that were made from
it, with the firm objective of providing Argentina with national product but
complementing its service to the market with a palette of imported products
that were not manufactured. in the country from large companies that
entrusted their distribution to us.
To accompany the sustained growth of the
company, production diversification began in the 1990s based on a vertically
integrated strategy on Sulfur chemistry, from the purchase of the Atanor
Sulfuric Acid Factory located in Dock Sud. Thanks to this, it ventured into
markets such as paper mills, water treatment, electricity production,
painting and ceramics industry. Meranol is a chemical company dedicated to the production and marketing of basic inorganic chemical products and intermediate organic chemicals for industry, organized on the basis of sulfur chemistry, with vertically integrated processes and diversified production. Meranol markets solid sulfur while industrializing it to produce intermediate states (molten and filtered sulfur) which it offers to the market and in turn uses as raw material to produce sulfuric acid. This production plant is one of the main nodes of the integrated production chain, which is demanded by most of the country's industrial network and, in turn, is used as an intermediate product in the integrated production matrix for the production of solid aluminum sulfate. and liquid with other raw materials (aluminum hydroxide and bauxite) and also to produce iron oxides (pigments). In the integration of sulfur chemistry, the company manufactures different types of sulfonic acid (detergent base) and sodium lauryl ether sulfate through the sulfation of ethoxylated fatty alcohols, mainly intended for the hygiene and personal care industry, and for agribusiness. Aimed at increasing the industrial supply of locally manufactured chemical products, the company has set up a multipurpose reactor plant with state-of-the-art technology, to expand the palette of complementary products for sodium lauryl ether sulfate, and a new plant for surfactants to sulfate alcohols. of high mole intended for the oil and gas industry. In addition, Meranol distributes other industrial chemical is from companies around the world, of which it is the commercial representative in Argentina. |
