Household and industrial chemicals

Thermoplastic bottles and other containers are growing fast by replacing glass principally but also metals in the packaging of food, beverage, household and industrial chemicals, oils, drugs, cosmetics, toiletries... 

So much heat is generated in the rapid reaction of potassium and water that the hydrogen gas produced in the reaction bursts into flames. The pink color of the water is due to the presence of the indicator phenolphthalein, which turns pink when the solution is alkaline. The pink color of the flame is characteristic of potassium. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) formed in the reaction makes the solution alkaline. Hydroxides are important household and industrial chemicals.

Household and industrial chemical containers are increasingly being made of plastics. HDPE has almost completely replaced glass for packaging household liquids. However, for solvents and flammable liquids, a plastic is required with higher barrier properties than conventional HDPE.

This is the one example in which metal is not the substrate. Corrosion takes on a new meaning the coating here is required to protect the substrate from direct attack by corrosive substances, from water to more powerful household or industrial chemicals, such as grease, alcohols and bleach. We are concerned with the industrial application of thin protective layers to paper (e.g. labels), card (e.g. playing cards) and many wooden articles, including industrially finished doors, window frames and, particularly, furniture. 

Laboratory studies indicate that aquathermolysis can be used to aid in the remediation of waste oils, chromium (Cr VI) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in contaminated soils and aquifers. Aquathermolysis is particularly useful in lowering the viscosity of oil and increasing its mobility to facilitate further treatment. Potential applications range from treating household and industrial refuse to destruction of chemical warfare agents. 

Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation placed between infrared radiation and radio frequencies, with wavelengths of 1 mm to 1 m, which corresponds to the frequencies of 300 GHz to 300 MHz, respectively. The extensive application of microwaves in the field of telecommunications means that only specially assigned frequencies are allowed to be allocated for industrial, scientific or medical applications (e.g., most of wavelength of the range between 1 and 25 cm is used for mobile phones, radar and radio-line transmissions). Currently, in order not to cause interference with telecommunication devices, household and industrial microwave ovens (applicators) are operated at either 12.2 cm (2.45 GHz) or 32.7 cm (915 MHz). However, some other frequencies are also available for heating [1]. Most common domestic microwave ovens utilize the frequency of 2.45 GHz, and this may be a reason that all commercially available microwave reactors for chemical use operate at the same frequency. 

Uses Cyclohexylamine is a strong inflammable liquid with a fish-like odor. It has many applications in both household and industrial processing (e.g., a corrosion inhibitor in water boilers, the synthesis of pesticides, dry-cleaning soaps, the manufacture of plasticizers, textile chemicals, cyclamates (artificial sweeteners), dyestuffs).41,49...

The company serves the personal care, automotive, pharmaceutical, medical, lawn and garden, food, household cleaners, and industrial chemicals markets. Production capabilities include extrusion blow moulding and injection moulding products made from HDPE, PVC, LDPE, PET, PETG, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyurethane. 

Xenobiotic organic compounds (XOCs) originating from household or industrial chemicals and present in relatively low concentrations in the leachate (usually less than ImgL of individual compounds). These compounds include, among others, a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, and pesticides. 

These products include household and industrial cleaners, cosmetics, and hair treatments. Surfactants contribute to adverse dermal reactions by stripping the oils that protect the skin, leaving the skin more vulnerable to attack by other chemical species. For example, it was found in one study that the simultaneous application of known contact allergens and a surfactant, sodium lauryl sulfate, to the skin results in an enhanced response to the allergens. ... 

Oils and fats have been important throughout human history not only for food, but also as lubricants, polishes, ointments, and fuel. The reaction of oils and fats with alkali (saponification) produces soap (salts of fatty acids) and glycerin. This chemical process was known to the Romans and continues to be of significant commercial importance. Today, tens of thousands of tons of soap are produced annually from tallow and plant oils. Tallow is a by-product of the meat industry, while the principal plant oils are dependent on extensive plantations—palm and palm kernel oils from Indonesia, Malaysia, and India, and coconut oil from the Philippines and Brazil. Twentieth-century chemists designed more effective synthetic, crude-oil-based surface-active agents (surfactants, e.g., sodium linearalkylbenzene-sulfonate or LAS) for fabric, household, and industrial cleaning applications, and specialty surfactants to meet the needs of consumer products industry such as milder skin and hair cleansers. 

Toxicology Abstracts. U.S.A. Cambridge Scientific Abstracts. Monthly. ISSN 0140-5365. Each issue contains approximately 800 abstracts covering the toxic effects of pharmaceuticals, food, agrochemicals, cosmetics, toiletries, household products, industrial chemicals, metals, natural substances, poisons, polycyclic hydrocarbons, nitrosamines, and radiation.
