Technicians – Running the Masterbatch Mechanism Overview All manufacturing industries, including the masterbatch industry, are nearly full-automated. I say ‘nearly’, because the machines don’t operate themselves, and can’t think for themselves about what material has to be put where, and what to do with the material once it has been processed. This is what technicians are for. What Do Technicians Do? According to REPIN Masterbatches, one of the leading masterbatch manufacturers in India , known for their additive masterbatches and colour masterbatches , technicians in the masterbatch industry are skilled professionals who help the plastic engineers, scientists, research groups and manufacturers in designing, manufacturing, and marketing plastic products. Technicians can work in the research and development (R&D) section of the company, or in the manufacturing process. They function at a level between the levels of a plastic engineer or scientist and a product...

What Is That White Powder In My Basement? Overview Well, let me guess. Your basement also has a musty smell hanging around it all the time, feels a bit damp and maybe the walls are discolored too? If you answered yes to any or all of the above questions, let me first tell you that your basement has a water problem. Secondly, that white powder on your basement walls and floor is called ‘lime’. We’ll get to what that means in a second. What Is This ‘Lime’? Lime is the bonding agent in concrete. When concrete gets wet, and then dries out, lime leaches out of it. This process is called efflorescence. As you might have guessed already, long-term efflorescence weakens concrete and makes it more prone to crumbling. If left unchecked, this can lead to structural integrity issues, such as concrete block shifting out of place, or mortar joint rotting to the point of the wall ‘moving’. Why Is This Happening? This is happening because most probably your basement is le...

What Are Some Of The Possible Causes Of A Flooded Basement And What Steps Can Be Taken? Overview A flooded basement is a devastating prospect.

Pharmaceutical Preparations That Contain Hydrogen Hydrogen is one of the most abundant chemicals in the universe, and one of the most used industrial gases, with applications in various industries. The pharmaceutical industry is one such industry which has been utilizing hydrogen in its miscellaneous processes of synthesis for centuries. Pharmaceutical manufacturers often have hydrogen generators and hydrogen plants on their manufacturing premises, as they require it on a daily basis for production. Here, have a look at the different hydrogen containing pharmaceutical preparations and their uses: ·        Hydrogen Peroxide (H ₂ O ₂) Preparation: Hydrogen Peroxide is prepared by a catalytic reaction of hydrogen (H ₂ ) with oxygen (O ₂). Uses: Hydrogen peroxide is mainly used as a disinfectant used to clean wounds. It stops small vessel wound bleeding, and is also used in oral hygiene. ·        Sodium Bi...

Application of Oxygen in the Manufacture of Epoxyethane (Engine Coolant/Antifreeze)                       Introduction Epoxyethane or ethylene oxide (C ₂ H ₄ O), is a colorless gas at room temperature. It is very reactive and is used as an important intermediary in the manufacture of many useful chemicals. But the main usage or application of Epoxyethane is as the main constituent of engine coolants or antifreeze in cars. It is also used to produce other engine coolants/antifreeze like ethylene glycol. What Does An Engine Coolant/Antifreeze Do? Car engines create a great deal of energy by burning petrol or diesel. Some of this energy is used to move the vehicle forward (around one third), the other two-thirds of the energy produced is converted to heat. Around half of this heat goes out of the exhaust, whilst the remaining heat remains inside the engine block. Car engines need a way of cooling down else t...

Nitrogen Use in Aerosols                     Introduction An aerosol is any such substance enclosed under pressure and released as a fine spray by the means of a propellant gas. Common examples of aerosol products include deodorant sprays, pesticide sprays, hair sprays, shaving foams and the like. Components of an Aerosol An aerosol formulation mainly consists of two components, namely: (1 the product concentrate, and 2) the propellant. The product concentrate is the actual product, the active ingredient in the aerosol, combined with other additional ingredients and co-solvents which are there to make a stable and efficacious product. The product concentrate can be a solution, suspension, emulsion, semisolid or powder. The propellant is the gas which provides the force to expel the product concentrate from the container and is also responsible for the delivery of the formulation in the proper form (i.e. spray...

Nitrogen Application in Nylon Manufacture Introduction Nylon is actually a family of synthetic polymers, which can be processed into fibers, films or shapes. It is because of this thermoplastic’s silky property that made it the world’s first commercially successful synthetic thermoplastic polymer. Major uses of nylon include, but are not limited to fabrics, cookware and plastic fasteners and machine parts. Out of these, their application in manufacturing fabrics is the largest. Nylon fibers are woven together to form a silky, lightweight fabric. The reason for the popularity of this fabric is that it is resistant to abrasion, is a quite strong synthetic fiber, resists mildew, available readily and is relatively cheap. Application of Nitrogen in Nylon Manufacture Large-scale nylon manufacturers usually have nitrogen generators or nitrogen plants available on their premises, as nitrogen is an integral part of the production of various types of nylon. Nylon is form...

Why Experience Counts In Waterproofing Introduction Waterproofing contractors in Delhi are ten a penny. But waterproofing companies with limited experience and expertise in waterproofing will often just line the area to be waterproofed with polyethylene plastic sheet. While this temporarily solves the problem, the underlying issues are not addressed, as the contractors do not understand the specifics of the job. The problem is hidden for time being, but significant damage is occurring unbeknownst to you and them. As part of waterproofing or dampness solutions, leakage and water pooling need to be addressed before encapsulating the area. This may mean adding drainage to prevent the water from simply pooling from the encapsulation material. CICO Tells You Why Experience Counts CICO Group is one of the leading construction chemical manufacturers in India which also provides waterproofing solutions in Delhi . Being in this business for decades, and knowing the...

How to Waterproof Polished Concrete? Overview Polished concrete is preferred by house owners these days because it has all the strength of traditional concrete, without its boring, shabby look. Polished concrete looks beautiful and well-designed, but has one problem. It is concrete after all, and like all concrete, it is porous by nature. As it cures, the chemical reaction generates air bubbles that slowly force their way to the surface. Many of these air bubbles remain trapped in the concrete when it fully sets, which can allow moisture to enter the slab, be it via humidity, precipitation, a leak or spill. This moisture can have an adverse on the concrete – cracking it, weakening it, and generating fungal growth. The Problem Polished concrete cannot be waterproofed like normal concrete, as praying it with a waterproof membrane ruins its look, and pose a serious slipping risk. So how to waterproof polished concrete? The Solution CICO Technologies is one ...
