Acetone
Acetone
Acetone is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet, fruity odor. It is a common organic solvent that is widely used in the production of plastics, fibers, drugs, and other chemical compounds. Acetone is also commonly used as a cleaning agent and a nail polish remover. Chemically, it is the simplest ketone and is represented by the formula CH3COCH3.
Activated Carbon
Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a highly porous material that is produced by treating carbon-rich organic materials, such as wood, coconut shells, or peat, with heat and chemicals to create a network of pores and a large surface area. This high surface area and porosity make activated carbon an excellent adsorbent for a wide range of substances, including organic molecules, gases, and liquids. It is widely used in various applications, such as water treatment, air purification, food and beverage processing, and medical treatments.
Adipic Acid
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
Alpha Arbutin
Alpha arbutin is a synthetic compound derived from the natural substance called hydroquinone. It is a skin-brightening agent and a type of skin lightening ingredient commonly used in cosmetic and skincare products. Alpha arbutin works by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. By reducing melanin production, alpha arbutin helps to fade and prevent the formation of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. It is considered a safer alternative to hydroquinone, as it exhibits similar skin-lightening effects with lower risks of potential side effects.
Amphoteric
Amphoteric refers to a substance or compound that has the ability to react as both an acid and a base. In other words, it can either accept a proton (H+) to act as a base or donate a proton to act as an acid, depending on the conditions of the reaction. The term "amphoteric" is often used in the context of chemistry to describe species that exhibit this dual nature of reactivity.
Bentonite Powder
Bentonite powder is a naturally occurring, highly absorbent clay-like substance derived from volcanic ash. It is composed primarily of montmorillonite, a mineral that is known for its ability to absorb water and other liquids. Bentonite powder is commonly used in a variety of industries, including construction, drilling, and cosmetics, due to its unique properties such as its ability to swell and form a gel-like substance when it comes into contact with water, making it useful as a binding, thickening, and clarifying agent.
Boric Acid
Boric acid is a weak, water-soluble acid that occurs naturally in some minerals, volcanic waters, and hot springs. It is a white, odorless, and crystalline powder that is often used as an antiseptic, insecticide, flame retardant, and in various industrial applications. Boric acid is also commonly used in households as an eyewash, as a preservative for food and cosmetics, and as an ingredient in some laundry and cleaning products. It is considered a safe and effective substance when used properly, but can be toxic in high doses.
Calcium carbonate (Coated)
Calcium Carbonate (coated) refers to a form of calcium carbonate in which the individual particles of the mineral are coated or encapsulated with a layer of a different material. This layer can be composed of various substances, such as stearic acid, fatty acids, or other polymers. The purpose of the coating is to modify the surface properties of the calcium carbonate particles, such as their hydrophobicity or compatibility with other materials, making them more suitable for specific applications. Coated calcium carbonate is widely used in industries such as plastics, paper, paints, and coatings, where it can improve the properties of the final product, such as brightness, whiteness, and durability.
