When your chemicals expire early or stop performing like they used to, the problem might not be the product! 😮

Expired or off-spec chemicals don’t just waste stock, it can slow production, cause inconsistent results, and create surprise costs that are hard to explain.
But often, the problem isn’t the product itself, but how it’s stored, handled and rotated long before the expiry date is reached.

💡✅That’s why we’ve put together this simple carousel: to highlight practical ways to help your chemicals last longer and keep doing what they’re supposed to do in your production.

These tips come straight from our Peters Chemicals Catalogue, which is packed with guidance to support your team on the floor and in the lab. If you’d like more practical advice like this, you can request a hard copy from our team or download the digital version using the link below.

Quality on paper is important. Quality that’s audited and certified is even better 😎👌

Peters Chemicals is proud to be ISO 9001 certified and compliant with Regulation R638 for food premises - two standards that say a lot about how we work behind the scenes.

🏆ISO 9001 means we follow a formal, independently-audited quality management system across our operations (from sourcing and warehousing to order handling and delivery) focused on consistency, traceability and continual improvement for our customers.

🏆R638 compliance means our food-related activities meet South Africa’s general hygiene and food safety requirements under the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act, helping customers feel confident about how their raw materials are handled before they arrive on site.

For our customers in food, beverage, personal care, pharma and beyond, these certifications translate into more reliable quality, smoother audits and a supplier that’s as serious about standards as you are.🫡

📞 If you’d like to understand how our certifications and processes support your own quality and compliance goals, our team is always happy to talk.

When reliable supply meets real quality, great partnerships happen 🧡♥️

We’re proud to share this testimonial from Gwida, Procurement Manager at Orlichem, one of Peters Chemicals’ valued customers and an important partner in our journey.

In the video, Gwida speaks about what matters most in their world: dependable suppliers, consistent quality, and service that delivers every time. From testing incoming raw materials on their FTIR machine to packing only what meets their standards, Orlichem’s commitment to quality is clear - and we’re proud that Peters continues to meet that mark. ✅

She also shares a few of the things that make this partnership work so well: same-day delivery when needed, a strong service level agreement, and the kind of relationship built on trust, consistency and a little bit of inside-jokes about pink PPE along the way.🤩

A big thank you to Gwida and the Orlichem team for the kind words and for being such a great partner. We’re grateful for customers who trust us to support their operations, and we’re proud to keep showing up with quality chemicals, reliable service and long-term commitment. 💪🇿🇦

👋 Meet Elize - our Chemicals Key Account Manager for the food sector, based in Joburg (although she insists she is a Capetonian at heart)!

She’s been in the food industry since 2014, starting out in internal sales and working her way into the external role she’s in today, where she gets to spend her days out on the road, meeting customers and building the kind of relationships that really matter.🧱

🍫 Elize supports food customers across bakery, dairy, beverages, sauces, meat and pharma, and she’s passionate about being hands-on, reliable, and easy to work with. For her, it’s not just about getting the order in, it’s about making sure customers feel supported from start to finish, with quick turnaround times, constant supply and a team behind her that’s just as committed to service as she is!

What stands out most about Elize is her energy and honesty, along with the real pride she takes in what she does. She loves seeing Peters ingredients end up in the final product on the shelf, and that’s exactly the kind of person you want on your side. And when she’s not out making things happen for customers, you’ll probably find her with a Starbucks cappuccino, talking golf (even though her swing needs some practice), or blasting Hearts Desire by Kip Moore in the car.☕️🏌

At Peters, we know great service starts with great people - and Elize is a perfect example of that. If you’ve worked with her or she’s your rep, we’d love for you to show her some love in the comments! 🧡

📲 If you want Elize and the Peters team on your side, get in touch today!

You see citric acid on a lot of food and beverage labels…

From cordials and soft drinks to confectionery, sauces and dairy-style products. It quietly handles flavour balance, pH control and shelf-life support so your recipes stay consistent from batch to batch. 🍭🧪

Beyond food, citric acid also shows up in detergents and personal care products, where it helps control pH and support product stability so they stay effective and gentle on use.🧼

😎 At Peters Chemicals, we source food‑grade citric acid from reputable international partners and hold serious stock locally, backed by our warehousing, fleet and documentation to support your audits and quality requirements.

If citric acid is a key ingredient in your business, talk to our team about keeping your supply reliable, even when demand spikes!
