Gulfax Group

The United Arab Emirates, positioned in the Middle East, hosts Gulfax Group which currently lists 18 active products across six main categories. Its catalogue spans petroleum by‑products such as various chafing and lamp fuels, a range of soaps and detergents, paints and coatings, construction and waterproofing chemicals, methanol, and grinding wheel items. The supplier’s product list includes Gel Chafing Fuel, Wick Chafing Fuel, Lamp Oil (Tikki Torch Fuel), Pumice Soap, Liquid Wax Cartridges, Marble Crystallizer/Polish (HS 3824.99), Brass/Metal Polish, Copper Polish Paste, Heavy Duty Hand Soap with Pumice Powder, Marble Polishing Liquid, Liquid Chafing Fuel, Bamboo Torch Fuel (Paraffin), Chaffer Fuel, Chaffing Fuel Bulk, Floor Pads, Aloe Vera Bath Soap, Herbal Bath Soap, and Natural Bath Soap. Each item is recorded under the relevant HS‑code family where available, for example the Marble Crystallizer falls under chapter 38 chemical preparations. The remaining items are classified under their respective HS chapters for fuels, soaps and cleaning agents, and metal polishing compounds.

Gulfax Group’s offerings reflect the typical product specifications found in the regional chemical trade. Chafing fuels are generally kerosene‑based liquids with flash points above 38 °C and conform to ASTM F24 standards for portable fuel. Soap products such as Pumice Soap and Heavy Duty Hand Soap commonly contain 5 - 10 % pumice powder and meet ISO 9001 quality management requirements for detergent composition. Polishing compounds like Marble Crystallizer use calcium fluoride and oxalic acid blends, which are standard in stone care formulations and are regulated under HS chapter 38. The supplier’s portfolio therefore aligns with the material grades and safety data sheets (SDS) typically demanded by industrial buyers. All listed items are suitable for bulk shipment in 20 ft or 40 ft containers, drums, or bulk tankers depending on the product form.

The catalogue’s petroleum by‑product line includes multiple chafing and torch fuels, which in global trade are usually classified under HS 2710 (petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals) or HS 2712 (diesel‑type fuels). Buyers often require a flash point of at least 38 °C, a sulphur content below 0.5 % by weight, and compliance with ASTM F24 or EN 590 for liquid fuels. Soap and detergent items such as Pumice Soap and Heavy Duty Hand Soap typically fall under HS 3401 and are produced with a pH range of 7 - 9, containing 5 - 15 % surfactant blends; REACH registration and ISO 9001 certification are common prerequisites. Paints, coatings, and construction chemicals - though not detailed in the product list - generally belong to HS 3208 (paints and varnishes) and must meet VOC limits of 150 g m⁻³ for EU markets. The Marble Crystallizer/Polish (HS 3824.99) exemplifies a chemical preparation used in stone care, where purity of calcium fluoride above 95 % and oxalic acid concentration around 10 % are standard specifications. Grinding wheel products, when present, are classified under HS 8205 and are evaluated by grit size (e.g., 80 - 200 µm) and bond type.
