Industrial chemical sourcing across Africa

Matta connects industrial chemical buyers and suppliers across Africa, coordinating specification-led sourcing, verified supply, logistics, trade finance and settlement.

From base chemicals and solvents to process inputs, manufacturers source what production requires with confidence in grade and specification — and suppliers reach credible, repeat industrial demand.

What industrial chemicals does Matta trade?

Matta sources and supplies industrial chemicals used across manufacturing and processing — including caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), soda ash (sodium carbonate), sulphuric acid, methanol, IPA and MEG — across acids, alkalis, solvents, glycols, resins, industrial salts and process chemicals.

Verified supply

Chemical supply, built around your specification

Industrial chemicals are only useful at the right grade and specification. Matta verifies supply physically and confirms specification, quantity and quality before value changes hands, helping ensure delivered chemicals match the specification, quantity and quality agreed for the transaction.
