Packing and storage

Double-sealed HDPE with desiccant. The acid is strongly hygroscopic, so keep it closed in a dry place and assay on receipt if it has been stored a long time.

Quality, and how you can check it

  • We assay every batch in our own laboratory.
  • The certificate carries the lot number and production date.
  • On request, we send samples to an independent laboratory and ship its report with the order.

Want the documents?

Ask for the technical specification or a recent certificate when you enquire. We send both as PDFs.

How an order runs.

  1. You enquire

    Send the compound, grade, quantity and destination.

  2. We quote

    Paresh prices against that day's tungsten or molybdenum cost and tells you how long the quote holds.

  3. You qualify

    Most new buyers start with a paid lot of 100 g or more for their QC.

  4. We make the batch

    We run it at Jarod, assay it, and pack it in sealed HDPE marked with the lot number.

  5. It ships

    Export orders go to your merchant exporter with the certificate. Domestic orders go by road.

Why we quote each order instead of publishing prices

Tungsten makes up about three quarters of phosphotungstic acid by mass, and its price moves with the commodity market. A fixed list price would be out of date within weeks. Ask, and Paresh will show you how he built the number.

Customers who keep reordering.

Pharmaceutical buyers requalify their suppliers on a schedule. These four have kept us on their approved list for years.

Paresh Prajapati, proprietor

One proprietor, since 1998.

Paresh Prajapati started Dimple Associates in 1998 and still runs it from the same works in Jarod. He buys the feedstock, runs the batches, checks the assay and signs the certificate.

You deal with him directly. Ask a technical question and the person who made your batch answers it. If you need a large sales team and an account manager, a bigger supplier will suit you better, and he will tell you so.

Our office is in Gotri, Vadodara. You can check the business on IndiaMART.

What we hold, and what we don't.

Buyers ask about credentials before they ask about price. Here is the answer up front.

Held

  • GST registrationOur GST number is printed on every invoice.
  • An in-house assay on every batchTied to the lot number and production date.
  • Third-party test reportsArranged on request from an independent laboratory.
  • One works since 1998Prince Industrial Estate, Jarod. Same phone number throughout.

Not held

  • ISO 9001We are not certified. We plan to apply.
  • An export licenceExport orders move through the merchant exporter on the order.
  • Export clearance for perchloratesWe sell oxidiser salts inside India only.

Questions buyers ask.

Do you manufacture, or buy and relabel?

We manufacture. We make every compound on this page at our works in Jarod from bought-in tungsten and molybdenum feedstock. That is also why the list is short.

Can I get a free sample?

We charge for samples and quote each one. A 100 g qualification lot gives your QC enough material to decide.

Can you deliver to my door abroad?

We sell through merchant exporters, who handle the licence, documents and freight. If you have no exporter, tell Paresh where the material needs to go and he will say whether one of his exporters can take it.

How much can you make?

Up to about 500 kg of phosphotungstic acid a month, in standard 150 kg batches, with other compounds running alongside. Our largest single order so far was 500 kg. For more than that, the limit is feedstock, and Paresh will work out a schedule with you.
