PE Wax Applications PE Wax in production of plastic and injection products. PE Wax in food and dairy packaging. PE Wax in production of water and sewage pipes and pipes under gas pressure. PE Wax (Polyethylene wax) is used as a waterproofing agent in the production of wood composite boards such as MDF, chipboard, OSB boards and other wood products. PE Wax in making different types of candles, polyethylene wax is used. There are different types of candles and today [...]
Sulfur Applications Sulfur has been known and used for more than a thousand years. Sulfur consumption in industries is very diverse, so that in the past, sulfur consumption was often measured as an indicator to determine industrial activities in the country. One of the main uses of sulfur is the production of sulfuric acid, which is used in the preparation of organic chemicals, minerals and mainly agricultural fertilizers. Sulfur is also used to make explosives, ions, reagents, paint softeners, rubber, [...]
Calcium Chloride and its application Calcium chloride is an important calcium salt that has many household and industrial applications. Calcium chloride occurs in nature in its hydrated forms as the rare minerals sinjarite (dihydrate) and antarcticite (hexahydrate). Calcium chloride is also found in large amounts in natural brine from salt lakes and salt deposits. Calcium chloride is also produced as a major by-product during manufacture of soda ash (Na2CO3) by the Solvay process, in which limestone is reacted with NaCl solution. Calcium chloride [...]
Polyethylene Wax uses and properties Polyethylene wax has many physical and chemical properties that make Polyethylene wax suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. A recent study by Transparency Market Research has shown a marked increase in demand for the product. Some of the many applications of Polyethylene wax are paper-coating, crayons, packaging, ink and leather auxiliaries. Others are food additives and paints As a completely saturated ethylene homopolymer, Polyethylene wax is linear and crystalline. That is why Polyethylene wax finds [...]
Gypsum Gypsum is a white mineral called CaSO4.2H2O (hydrated calcium sulfate) that is used in the manufacture of cement and gypsum especially (to control the setting of Portland cement) as well as in some fertilizers. Gypsum is found in several crystalline forms and is naturally white in color and may appear grayish, bluish gray, pink, or yellow due to impurities of clay organic matter and iron oxide. Gypsum has a specific gravity of 2.32 and a hardness of 1.5 to [...]
LABSA Applications LABSA is used as anionic surfactant in the formulation of many washing compounds. This LABSA is one of the cheapest surfactants in the washing industry and is the most important and most consumable substance in a powder formulation and pure liquids. Sulfonic acid is the water-soluble, non-volatile and adsorbent and sulfonic acid used as emulsifiers, additives and lubricating oils .Sulfonic acid used as corrosion prevention and rust. The position of the alkyl benzene sulfonic acid as anionic surfactant is used in the formulation of many [...]
Gilsonite Properties Gilsonite greatly resembles asphalt. of which it is considered a species by many authors. Asphalt readily becomes softened by the warmth of the hand or the rays of the sun. Gilsonite is not affected by heat below the boiling point of water. Gilsonite does not have the same melt point, varying widely from about 230° F to 500° F, depending upon the particular vein from which the sample has been taken. Some of the larger veins contain more than one type of [...]
Texapon properties Texapon N70 is a sodium laureth sulfate. Texapon usually used in clear and pearlescent, medium to high viscosity shampoos, and detergents products. Texapon a high active ether sulfate manufactured from a special mid-cut fatty alcohol containing an average of 2 moles of ethylene oxide with maximum control of unwanted by-products, including those causing color and odor. Texapon dissolves easily and in any proportion in water and has a high stability compared to hard water. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate is known by [...]
Magnesite Applications Magnesite is used in the preparation of magnesium oxide and magnesium metal. Magnesium oxide is used in the manufacture of refractory bricks for the inner lining of electric furnaces that can withstand temperatures up to 3,000 degrees Celsius, as well as in the production of chemical products, chemical fertilizers and rayon as electrical insulation, and in the paper industry. Magnesium is still extracted from seawater today. Magnesite is a mineral that plays a major role in refractory and refractory [...]
Sodium Hydroxide application and storage Sodium hydroxide, also known as Caustic Soda, is a solid, white mineral with the chemical formula NaOH, with a melting point of 318 ° C and a density of 2.13. This material can easily absorb moisture and carbon dioxide in the air and therefore, Sodium hydroxide to be under the necessary protective cover during transportation. Sodium hydroxide also generates a lot of heat when dissolved in water. This compound, in contact with the skin, has [...]
