Ilmenite

Ilmenite, also known as Manaccanite, is the titanium-iron oxide mineral with the idealized formula FeTiO3

Uses of Ilmenite
Ilmenite is the main source of titanium dioxide, which is used in paints, fabrics, plastics, paper, sunscreen, food and cosmetics.

We source Ilmenite from Asia and North Africa.

Barite

Barite is a mineral composed of barium sulfate (BaSO4). It receives its name from the Greek word "barys" which means "heavy."

Uses of Barite
Most barite produced is used as a weighting agent in drilling muds. These high-density muds are pumped down the drill stem, exit through the cutting bit and return to the surface between the drill stem and the wall of the well. We can supply Barite in Lumps or Powder forms.

We source Barite from Asia.

Rock Phosphate

Phosphorite or rock phosphate is a non-detrital sedimentary rock which contains high amounts of phosphate bearing minerals; finding its primary use in Fertilizers for Agriculture. Additionally, they are also used in animal feed supplements, food preservatives, anti-corrosion agents, cosmetics, fungicides, ceramics, water treatment and metallurgy

Rock’s Global Market & Reserves

Global rock phosphate demand is rising due to a growing world population and associated food demand, thereby increasing demand for phosphate fertilizer. Majority of global phosphate rock reserves are located in Morocco, including Western Sahara.

ZED Trading Rock Phosphate Business

ZED Trading has been participating in the Indian Fertilizer industry and is in advanced stages of negotiations for supply contracts with Egyptian Rock producers (Single Super Phosphate Grade I). The product is supplied to reputed fertilizer companies in India. We have Marketing Tie-up with El Nasr Mining Company for marketing various grades of Rock Phosphate of 26-32% P2O5.

Other major holders of phosphate rock reserves are Iraq, China, Algeria, Syria, Jordan, South Africa, the US and Russia. Middle East and \Northern Africa account for 80% of global exports, with Morocco being the world’s largest exporter.

We source Rock Phosphate from South West Asia and Mediterranean region.

Gilsonite

Gilsonite is used in drilling mud fluids and oil well cementing. Gilsonite, in a range of softening points and particle sizes, is a standard ingredient in oil-based drilling muds used in shales and other difficult geological formations.

Gilsonite use in Mud drilling according to FLC " Filtrate Loss Control " or " Fluid Loss Control " in oil base mud.

We source Gilsonite from Persian Gulf.

Sulphur

Sulphur is a valuable commodity and integral component of the world economy. It is used to manufacture numerous products including fertilizers, chemicals, paints, rubber products, medicines, fibers, sugar, detergents, plastics, paper and many other products. Sulphur also is a vital nutrient for crops, animals, and people.

China is the world's largest importer, followed by Morocco and the United States. Canada is the largest exporter, followed by Russia and Saudi Arabia. Sulphuric acid is used by the fertilizer industry to manufacture primarily phosphates, nitrogen, potassium, and sulphate fertilizers.
We have marketing tie-up arrangement with a refinery in Central Asia region.
We can offer Sulphur in Granular, Flakes, Lumps and Powder form.

Sulphur - Lumps Sulphur - Flakes Sulphur - Powder

We source Sulphur from Central Asia and Middle East region.

Bentonite

Bentonite is a kind of absorbent clay formed by breakdown of volcanic ash, used especially as a filler.

Uses of Bentonite
The most common use of bentonite is in drilling fluids. The bentonite in the flush fluid lubricates and cools the cutting tools while protecting against corrosion. The fine bentonite particles enter into the bore wall, swell and harden. Depending on the constitution of the ground structure, fine and coarse particles are needed. API 13A “Specification for Drilling Materials” precisely regulates the technical data for the bentonite in the drilling fluid.

We source Bentonite from South Asia region.

Granite

Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye.

Uses of Granite
In the modern era, Granite is used for making Sculpture, Memorials and for Building & Engineering purposes. Granite has been extensively used as a dimension stone and as flooring tiles in public and commercial buildings and monuments. Granite block is usually processed into slabs and after can be cut and shaped. We can offer variety of Granite Slabs and Tiles which include Black Galaxy, Absolute Black, Moon White, Black Pearl, and Tan Brown.

We source Granite from South Asia.

Coal

Coal is one of the major international commodities traded all over the world, shipped across huge distances by sea to reach markets. Over the last twenty years seaborne trade in steam coal has increased on average by about 7% each year and seaborne coking coal trade has increased by 1.6% a year.

Indian Coal Scenario

Indian power companies typically depend on imports for about 15- 20 percent of their annual needs India's coal imports jumped to 19 percent to a record of over 200 million tonnes during the fiscal year 2014-15 and expected to peak 260 Mn tons during 2015-16. Power companies add capacity to meet rising demand where millions in the country still go without electricity.
India buys most of its coal from Indonesia, Australia and South Africa.

We source Coal from Indonesia, Australia and South Africa.

Agricultural Products

Basmati Rice

Basmati is a variety of long, slender grain aromatic rice which is traditionally from Indian Subcontinent. India supplies 65 percent of the overseas basmati rice market. Basmati rice has a typical pandan-like (Pandanus amaryllifolius leaf) flavour caused by the aroma compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline. Basmati grains contain about 0.09 ppm of this aromatic chemical compound naturally, a level that is about 12 times more than non-basmati rice varieties, giving basmati its distinctive spicy fragrance and flavour. Packing as per the buyer's requirement.

Sourced from South Asia and South East Asia.

Non-Basmati Rice

Any rice other than basmati rice is named as non- basmati rice. In the world it has been reported that there are 10000 varieties of rice and out of which the maximum number are in India.

Non- basmati rice comes in all kinds of different shapes and sizes. Some are long and slender, some are short and thick, some are like beads, and some may be round. They do not have both the aroma and post cooking elongation as of basmati rice. Packing as per the buyer's requirement.

Sourced from South Asia and South East Asia.

Sugar

Sugar an important food also commonly known as sucrose is white crystalline substance, tastes sweet, a carbohydrate and 100% soluble in water. Sugar (Sucrose) is a natural combination of fructose and glucose. It is very stable product. Raw Sugar is made in large refineries by crushing cane sugar (Sachrum officenarum) or beet root (Beta vulgaris) to obtain juice and boiling this juice to remove water and processing the juice so obtained to make unrefined raw sugar.
