Water Solutions (WS)

Chemtrade’s Water Solutions team operates an extensive North American manufacturing network, producing both industrial chemicals and customized solutions for municipal and industrial customers. Our water treatment products consist primarily of inorganic salts used as coagulants in the treatment of drinking water and wastewater* — helping provide clean, safe, and reliable water supplies across North America. In addition to water treatment chemicals, the team produces a line of poultry litter amendments that help growers control ammonia volatilization, supporting improved bird health and productivity. For information regarding product selection, purchasing, safety, or technical support for our Water Solutions products, please contact your Chemtrade representative.

The acquisition of Polytec in November 2025 enhanced Chemtrade’s Water Solutions segment by adding differentiated, value-added capabilities to its water treatment portfolio. With this addition, Chemtrade now offers integrated water solutions, including specialized chemicals, equipment, and services, to better serve food processing, industrial, and municipal customers.

*Chemtrade’s NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60-certified drinking water treatment chemicals are listed on the NSF International website. NSF International is a leading independent organization that develops standards and certifies products for public health and safety.

Al+Clear®

Al+Clear® products are applied to poultry litter and/or pads, offering benefits of acidification and ammonia control. Research shows that using Al+Clear®, when integrator programs are followed, can improve weight gains, enhance feed conversions, improve paw health and reduce mortality rates in poultry.

The Al+Clear® product line is an industry leader in litter management. Our team brings two decades of experience in developing products for poultry management.

  • Al+Clear® Dry – The original Al+Clear® product, developed in 1997, works best in damp environments by using hydrolysis to dry pads or litter while lowering the pH, controlling ammonia and binding phosphorus. The product is safe to apply with birds in the house.
  • Al+Clear® A7 – A second-generation liquid product offering extended ammonia control, it reduces litter moisture and pH, and binds phosphorus. The product activates in dry conditions and is custom applied.
  • Al+Clear® Xtra – A second-generation, dry, crystallized product, it has been designed to offer immediate activation to reduce ammonia levels and lower pH in dry litter conditions. The product offers a flexible application window of up to 2 days prior to bird placement and is also safe to apply with birds in the house.
