4 Likeliest Sources of Moisture in Your Home




Although a little moisture is necessary to feel comfortable and important for your health, too much moisture in your home can have adverse effects on your health, as well as that of your home. Various microorganisms and bugs thrive in moist environments, including mould (a type of fungi) and dust mites, which can cause harmful allergies and asthmatic conditions. Not only that, excess moisture in your home can damage your electronics by corroding sensitive parts inside them. All in all, moisture is a no-no if you want a healthy house. But, where is it coming from? One of the leading construction chemicals manufacturers in India, who specialize in waterproofing solutions in Delhi list the following as the likeliest sources of moisture in your home. Have a look:

1.   Rainwater and groundwater: In the absence of gutters and downspouts, rainwater and groundwater flow into the basement.

2.   Interior moisture sources: Moisture may be generated from within the building due to human activity (e.g. use of toilets and bathrooms). Moisture contained in new concrete after construction is another source of interior moisture. Water from leaking toilets and pipes may travel through cracks in the concrete, causing dampness and may even reach the basement.

3.   Ventilation: If the air entering the basement through ventilators is warm and humid, it will condense upon the cool basement walls and floor surface.

4.   Structural Cracks: Concrete block foundations can develop cracks if floor joists are not properly connected to the foundation wall, thus permitting the wall to move. Soil settling too can cause cracking of basement.

If upon inspection you find any or all of these sources causing moisture in your home, you need waterproofing. The construction chemicals company mentioned above can provide you with home and basement waterproofing products in Delhi, as well as professional waterproofing contractors in Delhi NCR to apply them.

Nitrogen Use in Aerosols

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

Image
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...

Application of Oxygen in the Manufacture of Epoxyethane (Engine Coolant/Antifreeze)

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...
