Prasol Chemicals Limited, incorporated in 1992, is an Indian manufacturer of specialty chemicals built around two core chemistries — acetone-based and phosphorous-based — plus other customised specialty chemicals (surfactants, esters, ethers, polymers, acids). It makes over 150 products used as raw materials/intermediates across five end-industries: performance chemicals (lubricant additives, mining chemicals), PICA (paints, inks, construction, adhesives), pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and home & personal care. It sells to over 1,600 customers and exports to 69 countries from two plants in Maharashtra.
