    All about Quality Control and Packaging of Chemicals

    Quality control and packaging of chemicals is an essential part of any supply chain industry. Chemicals need special care because of their delicate nature that gets affected by the slightest change in temperature and pressure. Adequate packaging prevents the risk of toxicity and acts as an effective means of identification, protection, information, and presentation. Following

    Watson FDCA Pilot Plant, China

    In early 2014, Watson International Ltd (Watson for short, http://www.watson-int.com) under FCAD Group had begun construction of a pilot plant for the production of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA, CAS 3238-40-2) and its material 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF, CAS 67-47-0) in Ningbo, China. FDCA as a chemical building block is usually used to produce innovative green fuels, chemicals and

    Omega-3 fatty acids

    Overview Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids: They are necessary for human health but the body can’t make them -- you have to get them through food. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other seafood including algae and krill, some plants, and nut oils. Also

    The Effect of Additives on Solid Rocket Propellant Characteristics

    Vesna Rodić, BSc (Eng)1) Mirjana Petrić, MSc (Eng)1) Apart from the basic components, such as oxidizer, mostly ammonium perchlorate (AP) and binder, as cured polymer containing plasticizer, bonding agent, antioksidant, curing rate modifier etc. which regulate physico-chemical and mechanical characteristics, composite rocket propellants (CRP) comprise versatile additives. Some of them function as burning rate modifiers,

    Fullerenes for Photovoltaic and Bioscience Applications

    Michael D. Diener TDA Research 12345 W52nd Ave • Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 Introduction Twenty-five years ago, it was discovered that carbon vapor preferentially condenses into an exceedingly stable cluster with 60 carbon atoms (C60), and it was hypothesized that the 60 atoms were arranged as the vertices of a truncated icosahedron, aka a soccer

    FDCA & Next Generation Polyester

    From Plant Based materials to FDCA and PEF 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA) developed by FCAD, can be used as a replacement for terephthalic acid (TA), a petroleum-based monomer that is primarily used to produce PET. Because of the enormous potential of Furanics-based materials the chemical conversion of plant-based carbohydrates into FDCA has been a hot topic of

    Related Service Unique Polymer Design, saving millions of dollars for dental customers Application MDP (10-Methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate) convinces users by its special monomer structure: This phosphate monomer was extremely effective for enamel, dentin and on metal alloys. Consequently, the material including the MDP monomer, was introduced as a high-performance adhesive resin cement for the cementation
