Quality
When a company offers ingredients that interact with humans — whether those products are in the form of detergents to clean granaries or processing equipment or ingredients for facial cream — they have to be extremely safe. Bell Chem inspects all products from the manufacturer as they enter stock to maintain integrity, as well as offering quality documentation for all products whether they are food grade, reagent grade, or designated for nutritional, personal care, or pharmaceutical use.
Quality products extend beyond those that directly interact with humans, though. Bell Chem’s extensive line of sanitation, technical grade chemicals, and water treatment chemicals are pure, hardworking chemicals that fit a vast array of needs and industries.
How can all these varied ingredients and chemicals be safely transported, handled, and packaged? The answer is in the form of quality control. Every chemical and ingredient passes quality inspections and document control that ensure your product is the same from one shipment to the next.
Bell Chem is registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its food ingredient storage; the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for its pharmaceutical ingredients, which must also meet United States Pharmacopeia standards; the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure its chemicals are properly stored as well as distributed and disposed of properly; and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to verify workers have adequate personal protective equipment, chemicals are handled properly, and the workplace is safe.
Bell Chem is based in Longwood, FL (just north of Orlando) with hundreds of products stocked in their 50,000+ square-foot warehouse. You can expect the highest quality products, expedited shipping options for maximum efficiency, and unrivaled personalized customer service.

The Importance of the Chemical Supply Industry
Did you know that chemical industry shipments in the United States total about $450 billion a year?! The chemical industry is one of the principal manufacturing industries in the US, serving both a substantial domestic market and an expanding global market. Making up 19% of total world-wide production, the United States is the world’s leading chemicals producer and the world’s second largest exporter of chemicals. The chemical supply industry is the chief provider of raw materials for a plethora of essential US industries including manufacturing, exports, and defense. In fact, many industries use chemicals as their main raw materials to make end products including consumer products, electronics, food, home furnishings, textiles, paper, and more. For example, aspartame is used as a sugar substitute in foods and beverages and acetone is often used as the primary agent in nail polish remover.
At Bell Chem, we offer prompt delivery of hundreds of industrial chemical products. We have the ability to ship large volumes of chemicals from our own location in Orlando, as well as from our suppliers’ terminals throughout the US. We are positioned as the “go to” industrial chemical supplier both nationally and internationally.
This year, Bell Chem celebrated the 20th anniversary of our company and we are proud to say that we continue to provide our customers with the best service in the industry.
