Vikram Enterprise, was established in 1984 in Chhatral, near Ahmedabad first time in India with its first plant for manufacturing Diphenyl Oxide. It entered the market against stuff competition. It gained a good marketing strength against imported products and expanded its production capacity to 300 tons a year. Another new plant was set up in 1989 in the name of Vikram Aroma Private Ltd. at Indrad near Chhatral with capacity of 300 tons/year. Both the companies made considerable progress in terms of production volume, efficient good manufacturing practices, market development and sales established through dealers network in major industrial centers in India. Also, the international markets were established in Kenya, Europe & U.S.A.
Vikram Thermo India has been promoted for forward integration and diversification programme. The company has set up a new plant at Dhanot, near Chhatral for production of 'V-Therm HT' which is a mixture of Diphenyl and Diphenyl Oxide with capacity of 1200 tons a year and first time in India, commercial production started from the local materials. Another new plant was set up by `Vikram Thermo India for the production of 'Drug Coat' a polymer which is used in tablet coating for enteric coating and film coating. The company was incorporated on March 11,1994 under the Companies Act 1956 with Registrar of Companies - Gujarat and obtained certificate of commencement of business on March 21 ,1994.
The company proposed to manufacture Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) at village Dhanot Taluka Kalol Dist. Mehsana Gujarat India with an installed capacity of 1200TPA. HTF is being currently imported under the popular brand DOW THERM A.
Most of the products manufactured by these groups of companies were imported and only through constant Research and Development work in their R & D center, they produced them in India. All these products have good manufacturing practices and manufacture world class quality products.
Products manufactured by the company includes:
- Methacrylic Acid Copolymer Drugcoat - L 100 is an anionic copolymer based on methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate. The copolymer corresponds to USP/NF 'Methacrylic Acid copolymer. Type A'It is insoluble in acids and pure water. It becomes soluble in a neutral to weakly alkaline milieu by forming salts with alkalis, thus affording enteric film coatings which are soluble in intestinal juice.
- Aqueous Acrylic Resin DispersionDrugcoat-L 30D is an aqueous dispersion of an anionic copolymer based on Methacrylic acid. The polymer corresponds to USP24/NF19 'Methacrylic Acid Copolymer Dispersion'.It is soluble in a neutral to weakly alkaline milieu by forming salts with alkalis, thus affording Enteric film coating which are soluble in intestinal juice.Aqueous Acrylic Polymer Dispersion (Polyacrylate Dispersion 30%) for controlled - release permeable film coatingDrugcoat Ne 30D is the aqueous dispersion of a neutral copolymer based on ethyl acrylate.
- Methacrylic Acid CopolymerDrugcoat L 100-55 is an anionic copolymer based on methacrylic acid and ethyl acrylate. It is insoluble in acids and pure water. The polymer corresponds to USP/NF 'Methacrylic Acid Copolymer, Type C'.It becomes soluble in a neutral to weakly alkaline milieu by forming salts with alkalis, thus affording film coatings which are resistant to gastric juice but freely soluble in intestinal juice
