Adipic Acid

KSh0.01
Adipic acid, chemically known as hexanedioic acid (C₆H₁₀O₄), is a key industrial organic compound recognized for its role in polymer production. Primarily, it serves as a crucial precursor in the manufacture of nylon 6,6, where it reacts with hexamethylenediamine to form this durable synthetic polymer, widely used in textiles, automotive components, and industrial plastics. Beyond nylon, adipic acid is integral to producing polyurethane foams, found in mattresses, insulation, and car seats, due to its ability to enhance material flexibility and strength. It also finds applications as a food additive (E355), where it acts as an acidity regulator in gelatin desserts, beverages, and baked goods. Additionally, adipic acid derivatives are used in plasticizers for PVC products, synthetic lubricants, adhesives, and even cosmetics. While traditionally derived from petroleum-based processes, growing interest in sustainable alternatives has spurred research into bio-based production methods using renewable resources. Overall, adipic acid’s versatility makes it indispensable across multiple industries, from manufacturing to food technology

Borax Decahydrate

Original price was: KSh8,500.00.Current price is: KSh7,950.00.
Borax decahydrate, also known as sodium borate, is a naturally occurring mineral composed of sodium, boron, oxygen, and water. It is a white, odorless powder that dissolves easily in water, and has a wide range of uses, including as a laundry detergent booster, a multipurpose cleaner, and as a component in the production of glass, ceramics, and enamel. Borax has antifungal and insecticidal properties and is also used in certain industrial applications such as in the production of fiberglass, as a flux in metallurgy, and as a fire retardant. It is considered safe when used as directed, but can be toxic if ingested in large quantities.
