How to get the most out of the chemical distributors directory
In order to provide the best search experience, Chemagility.com searches its Directory, which is composed of content catalogued by our analysts from company web site information, submitted data, various offline sources and industry knowledge.
Following are a few tips to help you get the most out of a Chemagility.com search for chemical distributors from around the world:
- Using AND
By default, Chemagility.com only returns results that include all of your search terms (for up to 4 keywords plus a specified country). Therefore, it is not necessary to include "and" between terms.
- Country Specific Searches
To narrow your search to a specific country, please select a country from the drop down list next to the search box. The database currently covers chemical distributors from nearly 120 countries from around the world. Alternatively, you can use the country categories of the directory to navigate distributors in alphabetical order. See our full country list
- Plurals
There is no need to use special characters to search for plurals. Example: A search for the word "plastic" will also return plastics.
- Case Sensitivity
Chemagility.com searches are NOT case-sensitive, meaning the use of capital letters and lowercase letters in a search query has no effect on search results.
- Word Stems
Searches shorter than 3 characters in length will not return any search results. Example: A search for "ab" with no other words will not return any records. The reason for this is to prevent a large, meaningless result set being generated which may take some time to download and put unnecessary load on our servers.
- Symbols NOT to use
Various search symbols such as + or - or % will not work with our search engine.
- Order
By default search results retrieved give precedence to companies that have a Full Profile on Chemagility.com
