Dimer Acids is witnessing wider applications including in lubricants, fuel oil adhesives, surfactants, and polyamide resins

 

Dimer Acids

Dimer Acid, also known as dicyclic amino acids, is diatomaceous earth compounds prepared by blending hexane and sulfur in the presence of a catalyst. The density of this compound is approximately four times that of water. Dimer acid is used in the synthesis of polyaramid polymers, low-density fiberboards, low-density insulation, and foam. Dimer acid has a wide range of commercial applications. It is widely used in the paper and thermal coatings industries to manufacture textiles and papers and increase the strength and stiffness of these products and in the manufacturing of lubricants and adhesives. It is also used to manufacture plastic materials, plastics bottles, and other similar products.

Dimer acid is used to improve the resistance of many products to petroleum-based coatings such as oilskin and paint. In the context of cosmetic applications, it is widely used to improve the feel, color, and sheen of cosmetics and hair products, especially natural and organic skincare products and bath and body products. Dimer acid is also used to prevent or reduce the cracking of acrylic products when they have cured to provide a smoother surface. This is due to the fact that acrylics contain low levels of acid. Other applications include the protection of aluminum foil from damage by heat and sun, the resistance of certain plastics to scratching and crushing, protection of paper from moisture, the blocking of oil, grease, and other contaminants, and the lining of vacuum bags and cans.

Dimer-Acid is also widely used in the food and drink industry. As a meat tenderizing substance, it prevents softening of tough meats before they are sent to market. The acidity of this product makes it less abrasive than traditional meat tenderizing salts, thus preserving the texture, flavor, and taste of meats preserved with this compound. Dimer acid is also known for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties. These properties have made it a popular ingredient in the cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic and health care products industries. Recently, in March 2021, Phillips Lubricants launched Phillips 66 e-Shield, high performing lubricant solution to optimize electric vehicle performance and protection.

Light Linear Alpha Olefins Are Produces through Oligomerization of Ethylene and by Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

Image
  Light linear alpha olefins are commonly manufactured by two main routes: oligomerization of ethylene and by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis followed by purification. They are manufactured for a variety of reasons. One such reason is to use them as fabric and other textile applications in clothing manufacture. Various companies use ethylene trimerization process that produces only 1-hexene. In the U.S., Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, LLC, uses this process. Another commercial process, offered by a technology licensor IFP, dimerizes ethylene to high purity 1-butene. There are a wide range of applications for light linear alpha olefins . They are predominantly use in production of polyethylene, linear aldehyde, fatty acids, linear alcohols. Alpha olefins are also used in production of synthetic lubricant basestock and to make surfactants in a blend with higher linear alpha olefins. Another common use of light linear alpha olefins includes printing and apparel industries, agriculture

Cervical Cancer Diagnostic Tests have become highly sophisticated with accurate diagnosis for effective treatment

Image
  There are three basic types of cervical cancer namely squamous cell carcinoma (also known as cancer of the cervix), adenocarcinoma, and carcinoma in the fallopian tubes. Adenocarcinomas are the most common type and usually begin as a non-cancerous tissue. Squamous cell carcinomas (also called vaginal cancer of the cervix) develop primarily in the outer lining of the cervix and is normally found in 90 to 95% of cervical cancer cases. One of the key cervical cancer diagnostic tests are HPV diagnostic test and they are at an all-time high. As previously stated, research reports continue to indicate that the future is not likely to see a slowing of the rate of new infections, but instead an acceleration into the future. The Information presented in this article briefly outlines two of the most important players in the cervical cancer diagnostic tests sales, price and growth rate of HPV. A recent development in DNA cervical cancer diagnostic tests makes it possible to determine if a pe

Beta Glucan-based products have been shown to be effective in lowering cholesterol and preventing heart disease

Image
  Beta glucan based products have been being used for the most recent decade. These are significant leap forwards in present day clinical history. Beta glucan is gotten from plant sources and has been utilized for quite a long time to assist wellbeing. It is nothing unexpected that this compound has as of late discovered its way into the nourishing enhancements field. It is perhaps the most nutritious enhancements available. Exploration has shown that individuals who burn-through Glucan based products have lower paces of coronary illness. It is accepted that the part of the enhancement helps support the insusceptible framework and expands the body's resilience to low degrees of cholesterol. This permits the body to all the more proficiently eliminate overabundance cholesterol from the circulatory system. Besides, the fixings in these products are high in cancer prevention agents, which help forestall cell harm. Studies have shown that Glucan products can help diminish joint irrit
