An antioxidant, (as the name suggests), is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules. Its THR chemical compounds are added to certain foods, natural and synthetic rubbers, gasolines or other substances, to inhibit its autoxidation. Oxidati
Fatty Amides are produced through synthetic procedures and are an ingredient in detergents, lubricants, inks and many other everyday/commercial purposes. In nature, fatty amides are linked to complex sphingolipids via amide bonds
The method of connecting different polymers via intra or inter- molecular linkings through a chemical bond is known as Cross Linking. Generally, this procedure is irreversible. Crosslinking enhances the thermal visibility and mechanical properties of the
Polymers which occur naturally and can be extracted from their respective source.They are often water soluble in nature. Examples of naturally occurring polymers are silk, wool, DNA, cellulose, proteins and starch.The human body contains many natural poly
Nitrocellulose is a highly inflammable compound formed by nitrating cellulose through exposure to nitric acid or any other powerful nitrating agent. Nitrocellulose is a mixture of nitric esters of cellulose, and a highly inflammable compound (originally k
Pigments are used as a coloring agent in paints, ink, plastic, fabrics, cosmetics, food and other materials. Most pigments are used in manufacturing materials. The visual arts are dry colorants ground into a fine powder. This powder is added to a binder (
Plasticisers are softening agents. When added, to a material, usually a plastic, makes it flexible, resilient and easy to handle. These are additives which help in increasing the plasticity or fluidity of a material. They are also known as chemical substa
Aqueous redispersible powders are those polymers which improve the plasticity and adhesion of tile content, gypsum plater and self- leveling compounds. The traditional market of Redispersible Polymer powders include tile adhesives, exterior and interior r
Speciality Monomers act like chemical intermediates or "building blocks" to design unique polymer structures. Their applications can be found in different industries. These monomers contain a low to high range of molecular weight and are low in volatility
