A partnership firm (cap.: 1080 tpa) manufacturing chlorinated paraffin (CP) was merged with LPCL in Apr.'94. This formed the present unit, 'Link Pharma Chem'. It modernized and expanded its TC capacity to 3300 tpa, expanded its product range to include CP 70 ...(450 tpa), and integrated forward to manufacture dinitro ortho-toluamide (DOT, 450 tpa). While TC is used as an intermediate in the production of pesticides, pharmaceuticals and dyestuffs, DOT is primarily used as an additive in poultry feed, and CP finds application mainly as a filler material in paints, PVC products, lube oils, etc. LPCL entered into a buy-back arrangement with Gharda Chemicals, a leading manufacturer of pesticides, for over 35% of its capacity of TC.
