DFPCL will be leveraging on its 40 years of solid experience in Nitric Acids, with proven expertise in lean manufacturing and handling complex supply chains. Nitric Acid remains an excellent Building Block Chemical for various sectors including Fertilizers, Specialty Chemicals and Mining Chemicals.
