Overview 

The chemical and fuel industries in South Africa are large and several other industries rely heavily on the provision of both chemicals and fuel to operate efficiently.

When you are looking for the best bulk fuel delivery and chemical suppliers in South Africa, there are a few considerations, including the difference between bulk and fine chemicals, what to consider when selecting a supplier, and the benefits that bulk fuel and chemical deliveries to common industries bring.

Bulk versus Fine Chemicals 

Bulk chemicals

Bulk chemicals are manufactured on a large scale so that markets across South Africa can benefit, this is often why they are considered commodity chemicals. Bulk chemicals also add to South Africa's exports and help to maintain the economy.

Both inorganic and organic are manufactured in continuous process chemicals plants while fine chemicals are produced in manufacturing plants. The basic manufacturing goal attributed to bulk chemical plants is to produce bulk chemicals on a scale large enough that costs are kept to a minimum, thus allowing for the maximum amount of profit to be made.

Some examples of chemicals that are manufactured in bulk include acetone, acrylic acid, biodiesel, castor oil, glycerine, white spirits, and several others. 

Fine chemicals

As opposed to bulk chemicals, fine chemicals can only be manufactured in small and limited quantities. They are manufactured in plants by batches or biotechnological manufacturing processes.

The steps involved with manufacturing fine chemicals may not be extensive, but they have a certain level of complexity and include chemical synthesis, biotechnology, extraction, and hydrolysis.

Fine chemicals were conceived in the 1970s and they have become an integral part of the chemical industry across the globe, including in South Africa. These products, while extremely useful, must be combined with other chemicals as well as substances to reach their full potential.

Typically, these chemicals represent the building blocks for several other different products that are in use every day, without many people even realizing it. Some of these fine chemicals include pharmaceuticals, biocides, fragrances, additives, and pigments.

Despite the role that they play, both fine and bulk chemicals play a crucial role in the chemical industry in South Africa, ensuring that a wide range of chemical, fuel, and petroleum products are available on various markets across all industries.

Tips on finding the best Bulk fuel and Chemical supplier in South Africa 

Choose a supplier that has competitive pricing

When choosing fuel suppliers South Africa or chemical suppliers for bulk deliveries, there are several factors to consider, and the price is an important one.

Before you select a supplier, compare prices from other companies to ensure that you receive the best possible price. 

Research the company's background and reputation

It is easy for a company to make certain claims on their website and advertisements. For this reason, it is crucial to conduct thorough research on a company to validate that they are who they say they are and that they can deliver on their critically acclaimed products and services.

Evaluate their safety record It is crucial that a bulk fuel and chemical company maintain its equipment and that they have a good, clean, and proven safety record to lower the risk of injuries during delivery. 

Enquire about their fuel storage capacity and delivery fleet

The supplier needs to have enough storage space to house fuel and chemicals.

Make sure to check out suppliers that have a network of bulk fuel depots as well as a fleet of delivery vehicles. This will prove that the company can fulfil orders of any size in the least amount of time, ensuring that your fuel and chemical deliveries are on time and without any delays. 

Make sure that the supplier is certified and licensed

Only use suppliers that have the necessary certification and licenses to provide bulk fuel and chemical products to several industries in South Africa. Make sure to follow up on licenses that the supplier claims to have to ensure that they are valid. 

Consult reviews from existing or previous customers

One of the best ways to determine whether a supplier is right for your business is to evaluate what others have to say about it. Keep in mind that opinions may differ, but the general rule is that if there are more bad reviews than good, a company may not be as good as they claim. 

How does reliable Bulk Fuel and Chemicals benefit common industries in South Africa? 

South Africa consists of several industries that rely heavily on the provision of bulk fuel and chemicals, either as a result of the sheer size of the industry and sector, remote location, or other factors.

Major cities in Gauteng, KwaZulu Natal, Cape Town, and other regions use a large variety of vehicles for several tasks and municipalities and governments often make use of reliable suppliers of bulk fuel.

There are also many construction and mining companies in South Africa that work remotely that make use of reliable bulk chemical and fuel suppliers such as Chemi.

Fuel stations, school districts, and many logistics and transport companies based in South Africa use bulk fuel and chemical suppliers to keep their operations running smoothly.

Reputable bulk fuel and chemical suppliers such as Chemi contribute to keeping South Africa's economy going by ensuring that industries have the best, most reliable services and deliveries of a wide range of fuel and chemical products.

The joint initiative aims to drive the upliftment of learners throughout South Africa and mitigate the effects that COVID-19 has had on the school calendar.

The Pandemic has led to learners falling between 75 percent and a full school year behind where they should be, according to latest statistics by UNICEF. Rotational school attendance, sporadic school closures and days off for specific grades, have resulted in school children losing 54 percent of learning time. Furthermore, In 2017, the World Economic Forum ranked South Africa’s primary education 116th and its maths and science education as 128th out of 137 countries.

There is a clear need for South African learners to receive as much attention and quality resources in mathematics as possible. To help address these problems, Head Start Education has partnered with two leading education companies to provide educational software worth R100 million to 500 000 learners and teachers.

The GAPP, which covers the printing, packaging and signage industries in Southern, East and West Africa, is proud to announce its partnership with Securadoor, who has launched The GAPP licensed magnifying glass loupes to the South African market.

These portable and highly sophisticated magnifiers are an essential tool for printers, jewellers, coin and stamp collectors, hobbyists, rock collectors and can also detect discreet security markings on products.

There are currently two kinds of magnifiers available: 

• A foldable 15x magnification loupe with a LED light
• A double lens, high powered 30x magnification loupe with a LED and UV light

Since its inception in 2000, Securadoor has successfully been innovating effective security solutions for South African home owners and ultimately, their loved ones. Utilising a blend of superior materials and cutting-edge manufacturing processes, its goods are manufactured meticulously, and culminate in security products that are easy to install, easy to use and ultimately, keep its users safe.

‘The GAPP has always placed the utmost value on innovation and “outside the box” thinking, while focusing on high quality products that are in a league of their own. We are thrilled that our venture has broadened The GAPP’s offering, while introducing the brand to new industries and individuals alike,’ said Vikesh Roopchand, Managing Director at Sentient Publishing and Publisher of The GAPP Magazine and The GAPP Contacts Directory.

‘Print is an invaluable communications medium, where precision - right down to colour - is of paramount importance to brands; we are excited to fill this niche by making high quality magnifiers with LED lighting readily available in South Africa,’ he continued. ‘The GAPP Awards, our prestigious biannual award for the printing, packaging and signage industries, convened its panel of judges for the 2018 Awards, where high quality magnifying loupes are a necessity for the judging process. Much to our surprise, we soon discovered that loupes with superior magnification are not readily available in South Africa and concluded that something needed to be done about it.

Thanks to Securadoor coming on board, when our panel of judges come together in November this year to meticulously scrutinise entries and determine who has reached “The Pinnacle of Excellence” for the 2022 Gala Event, we won’t have any problem supplying them a magnifying loupe of exceptional quality – so the timing couldn’t be any better, he added.

Vikesh says that aside from commercial printing and packaging businesses, other industries and individuals are able to make use of The GAPP magnifying loupes. ‘We are delighted to see The GAPP being introduced to many new companies, sectors of industries and homes. We are committed to innovate, grow The GAPP brand and endeavour to constantly find new ways to add value to the industries that we serve,’ he concluded.

Both magnifiers are supplied with a protective pouch and can be purchased from Takealot, Makro Online and directly from Securadoor at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

No matter what you buy, as a consumer, it’s important to get exactly what you’re looking for. This is especially true for CBD products. Although there are many CBD oil tinctures available, it’s difficult to know whether the labels are telling the truth or not. So it’s time that we looked a little deeper. 

We took a sample of 10 of the most prominent CBD brands available in South Africa and sent them all for testing. Our goal at Cannabis Oil South Africa was to find products that not only contained CBD, but that provided accurate dosage information. And the results were quite surprising!

Results can be seen in the image attached.

CBD Oil Dosages

CBD products come in a variety of dosages, represented in milligrams (mg) on the label. Depending on what you need, it’s important that you choose the right product so that you can take the right amount of CBD. 

The most common products available today range from 100mg up to 1,000mg of CBD. But did you know that some of these products had between 50% - 200% more than the label specified? 

According to a representative from Qure testing lab, “Generally, in the pharmaceutical industry a 10% tolerance around label claim is accepted.” which means only 1 out of the 10 local CBD brands that we tested were within this range. 

One of these products (brand 8) is a CBD skin cream that is advertised at containing 156mg of CBD. However, upon testing the product it came back with NO CBD oil at all. We find this very alarming and a disappointing lie to consumers.

What’s even more surprising is that the rest were adding way more CBD than they said - with one brand (brand 3) over 1.5x the stipulated amount.

Not only is it difficult to take accurate doses, but you might be exceeding the government’s recommended dosage of 20mg per day. And even worse, the products may no longer fall under the Schedule 0 drug classification and could be illegal. 

The latest SAHRPA CBD documentation stipulates that these products must “contain a maximum daily dose of 20 mg CBD with an accepted low risk claim or health claim”.

Is it Dangerous to Consume These Products?

The products themselves are not the problem, but rather the dosage that you consume. If the products do not contain accurate CBD amounts, you will not know exactly how much to take each time. You might find the CBD isn’t working as expected or that each batch is different to the next. 

When it comes to CBD products, accuracy is key.

Finding the Right CBD Oil for Sale | What Can I Do?

If you want to take the necessary steps to avoid inferior quality products that are not providing accurate information, you need to look out for a COA (certificate of analysis). 

Every product that you purchase should have a batch number which you can match with an up-to-date CBD test result (COA). By law, the products must provide this information, so it should be there.

If you can’t find a COA for the product or if you are unsure whether the COA is linked to your current batch, it’s important that you contact the supplier directly to find out more. If they cannot (or refuse) to provide you with the test results, it is a clear indication that their products cannot be trusted. 

All of the best CBD oil providers in South Africa have this information on hand and it is usually listed on the product’s page or on the shop’s website.

Get What You Paid For

This release isn’t meant to be a name-and-shame, which is why we left out the actual companies involved. It’s intended to be a warning for any consumer looking to purchase CBD in South Africa. 

Even though getting more than your money’s worth might seem appetising, accurate information and transparency are the cornerstones of a reliable (and trustworthy) CBD product. 

There are plenty of these high-quality CBD oils available. Will you continue to let the deceptive companies pull the wool over your eyes or are you ready to find out the truth? Remember - if there isn’t a test result, something isn’t right.

Bargain hunters beware: If a deal looks too good to be true, that ad on social media or online classifieds sites could actually be showing off goods stolen during the looting frenzy that took place in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng this month.

Sumitomo Rubber South Africa (SRSA), manufacturer of the Dunlop tyre brand, said its Durban Westville warehouse was invaded unlawfully and vandalised on Sunday, 11 July 2021 – and the company is aware that much of the stolen passenger and motorcycle tyre stock is now being sold online. In videos circulating on social media, groups of unidentified individuals were seen making off with tyres in the warehouse.

Lubin Ozoux, CEO of SRSA, said, “The loss in stock and assets is estimated to be approximately R90m with 70 000 tyres stolen from our own warehouse from an estimated total of 140 000 tyres known to have been looted from across the tyre manufacturing chain. However, there will be a substantial impact not only for the Dunlop business but for the entire value chain, including employees, the community and the supply chain.”

“We strongly condemn these illegal actions. Looted commodities are being offered at prices much lower than the normal pricing on numerous social media posts. This is a clear indication that these items have been looted. We do not support, under any circumstance, the purchase of goods from anyone other than reputable manufacturers and suppliers,” he added.

Those who know or suspect the possession of looted tyres can report this anonymously to the Looted Tyres Hotline on (011) 418 3056 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Nduduzo Chala, Managing Executive of the South African Tyre Manufacturers Conference (SATMC) said the organisation stands in support of its members Sumitomo Rubber South Africa, Bridgestone SA, Continental Tyres South Africa and Goodyear South Africa.

“As the tyre sector value chain, let us stand together and fight the criminality witnessed. The tyres looted are already being sold on the streets and on social media platforms. We urge customers not to support this and for tyre fitment centres not to fit loose tyres without valid proof of purchase. Together we can stop the cycle of criminality,” he said.

The National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NatJOINTS) co-chaired by the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), South African Police Service (SAPS) and the State Security Agency (SSA) has also issued a warning to those who were not part of the looting spree but are buying stolen property from the looters that they too, will be arrested for being in possession of stolen property.

Socio-economic losses

Businesses across the board have been brought to their knees by the widespread theft, vandalism and arson – from informal traders to large retail chains. The economic impact of the anarchy and destruction will be massive, in a country which was already grappling with low economic growth and alarmingly high unemployment levels.

Many will lose their livelihoods as businesses, big and small, are unable to continue operations. Supply chains have already been affected and many are struggling to access basics such as food, household essentials and medication.

“Thieves prey on people looking for the best price. At a time that there is such a large volume of illegally obtained goods now circulating in the market, people will need to have their wits about them to ensure they do not indirectly support this thievery,” said Ozoux.

He offered the following tips:

• Report known or suspected possession of looted tyres to the Looted Tyres Hotline.
• Tyre fitment centres should not fit loose tyres without valid proof of purchase.
• Approach purchases from unknown retailers and individuals with caution. Purchase only from reputable manufacturers and suppliers.
• If someone is listing items in bulk, that should be a red flag.
• If the item is marked at a drastically reduced price, that is another red flag.
• If the seller is unable to provide proof of purchase on a brand-new item, it could mean it has been illegally obtained.

“Purchasing items known to have been stolen in large quantities during the looting only does further damage to our country’s economy. It is almost the equivalent of stealing these goods yourself,” he added.

Purchasing through informal channels can encourage more criminal acts and further looting.

“As a brand we lead by example, and now is the time to live by our values. We are appealing to the public to refrain from purchasing any suspicious items for sale on social media.  We ask that you discourage friends and family from purchasing the same,” said Ozoux.

AASYS has the technology and products to mitigate the impact of the looting and riots Tragically, South Africa is in the midst of violent protests and looting. A number of provinces are being affected, and many businesses and properties have been damaged.AASYS (Advanced Automated Systems) believe they have the products and technology to prevent and contain any further damage.

AASYS is the sole distributor of LIOS products in South Africa. Using LIOS’s world-leading technology, fibre optic cables are deployed as a sensing and condition-monitoring solution fit for a wide variety of different applications – including the monitoring of the perimeter of businesses and buildings. “The acoustics technology allows you to distinguish specific sounds – whether it’s a truck or car, a group of people or an individual, someone cutting the fence or digging under it – and provides an early warning so you can react in time to prevent an incident,” explains AASYS CEO, Yoni Margalit. “In addition, this technology enables the monitoring of temperature near the fibre optic cable – ensuring the early detection of fires.”

AASYS is also the sole distributor of Dafo. The Dafo Wet Chemical Handheld units are extremely effective at putting out tyre fires. “As reported in the news, many trucks have been set on fire during the rioting, and we believe this product will be useful in preventing further damage.” Then there’s AASYS’s FOG microcapsule technology. The microcapsules contain a fire-suppressant chemical which is added to a paint, and automatically burst on reaching a certain temperature, thereby extinguishing an approaching fire at a very early stage. “The paint can be applied to any surface to make it fire suppressant,” says Margalit. “It's especially useful in this situation to protect armoured vehicles, petroleum tanks, delivery trucks and shop walls.”

AASYS takes pride in offering the most advanced condition monitoring and fire prevention and suppression systems in the world.

“This technology enables clients to save lives and protect assets, while ensuring businesses and industries stay up and running at all times,” says Margalit. “The damage is already severe, but we’d like to put our cutting-edge solutions to work to help prevent and minimise any further disruptions to our economy, and to the businesses which drive it.”https://aasys.co.za/solutions/dafo/
