Agar Agar Technical Grade is used for general purposes where clarity is not of the prime importance. We offer Technical Grade Agar of different specifications based on the end use application.
Agar Agar is also being used in gel form in Air Fresheners. It acts as a gelling agent and helps to retain the smell in essential oils.

Agar Agar provides crickets and other feeder insects with a safe, clean water source in a convenient gel form. This easy-to-use formula eliminates many of the problems associated with traditional watering methods, such as the formation of deadly bacteria and loss through drowning. Due to its unique characteristics, Agar has gained tremendous importance in the field of cricket farming.

In dentistry, Agar Agar is used to make dental impressions. The Agar Agar type hydrocolloids are thermoplastic, elastic materials which are softened by heating, hardened by cooling and used repeatedly. In the hardened state, they are flexible and elastic and ideal for making dental molds and impressions.
