There is a large amount of graphite reserves in India. Many carbon factories have long operating history; but due to lack of technical aspects, India is still at a relatively low carbon development stage. We believe that as technology exchanges and development, India's carbon industry will have a prosperous future and will support India's foundry industry and the construction industry. With the continued strengthening of infrastructure in India, the Indian market for casting and casting accessories category will continue to increase the demand. Carburizer, slag remover and other foundry materials manufactured by Duratight Group will develop well on India market. In particular, DT-CA-09 will be an excellent replacement product for CSC with much less pollution. Duratight Carburizer has pointed to a new light pollution direction for Indian industry.
