Supplying since 2015 across Gauteng, North West, Mpumalanga.
Which areas do you serve?
CT Chemicals delivers weekly across Gauteng, North West and Mpumalanga, including Pretoria and greater Gauteng, Nigel and the Springs and Brakpan corridor, Brits and Hartbeespoort, Rustenburg, Bronkhorstspruit, Witbank (eMalahleni) and Middelburg.
What sizes do you supply?
Products are available in 5L and 25L. The 25L comes on a reusable drum exchange.
How does the 25L drum exchange work?
When your next 25L is delivered, your empty drum is collected and reused, which reduces single-use packaging. Ask us about it on WhatsApp.
How do I order?
Message CT Chemicals on WhatsApp, tell us your business, area and what you need, and we send pricing to confirm. Your order is then invoiced and delivered on your area’s weekly delivery day.
What if I am outside the listed areas?
Send us an enquiry on WhatsApp and we will let you know what is possible for your area.
Do you supply industrial process chemicals, lab reagents or food-processing sanitation?
No. CT Chemicals supplies commercial and industrial cleaning and hygiene chemicals. We do not supply industrial process chemicals, manufacturing solvents, lab reagents, pharmaceutical cleaning, food-processing or abattoir sanitation, mine production or agricultural chemicals.
What chemicals does a car wash need to get started?
A car wash typically starts with a car shampoo, a degreaser for engines and wheels, a tyre dressing, and a silicon finishing spray. CT Chemicals supplies all four as own-formula products in 5L and 25L. Message us on WhatsApp with your area and we will put together a starter recommendation with pricing.
What cleaning chemicals do fleet and transport companies use?
Fleet and transport operators typically order degreasers for engines and chassis, heavy-duty truck wash for bodywork, tyre dressing, and general-purpose cleaners for depots and workshops. CT Chemicals supplies all of these at full strength and delivers weekly so your depot stays stocked without manual reordering.
Is there a minimum order?
CT Chemicals does not enforce a rigid minimum order. In practice most customers order several 5L or 25L containers per delivery. Message us on WhatsApp with what you need and we will confirm whether it works for your area and delivery day.
What is the difference between a degreaser and a car shampoo?
A degreaser is formulated to dissolve heavy grease, oil and carbon deposits on engines, wheel arches and workshop floors. A car shampoo is a milder surfactant designed for painted bodywork and glass, removing road film without stripping wax or polish. CT Chemicals supplies both as separate own-formula products.
How long do CT Chemicals products last once opened?
CT Chemicals products are water-based formulations with a practical shelf life of approximately 12 months once opened, when stored sealed and out of direct sunlight. Most customers on a weekly delivery cycle use their stock well within that window.
What does "full strength" mean?
Full strength means CT Chemicals products are supplied at the same concentration as they are manufactured. Nothing is diluted or cut before delivery. You dilute to the ratio you need on site, so a single 25L container goes further than a pre-diluted alternative.
Are CT Chemicals products environmentally friendly?
CT Chemicals formulates water-based cleaning and hygiene chemicals. Water-based formulations are generally less harmful to the environment than solvent-based alternatives. The 25L reusable drum exchange also reduces single-use packaging waste across the delivery network.
Can I get a safety data sheet (SDS) for CT Chemicals products?
Yes. Safety data sheets are available for all CT Chemicals products. Message us on WhatsApp with the product name and we will send you the SDS.
