  The need for high temperature insulation material has become more important owing to the recent incidence of global warming and its devastating effects on the environment, especially in regions such as Germany, Mexico, and Japan among others. The problem is that most high temperature insulation material costs a lot more than it does to keep the heat inside homes or offices. Unfortunately, most insulation is made of poor quality materials that can easily melt, tear, and leak when the temperature rises. Instead of continuing to spend on ineffective products, there are a few things users can do to help make sure they are purchasing the best products for their needs. One option is to buy high temperature insulation material that is already radiant barriers. Radiant barriers are designed to help trap the heat in the home. Instead of focusing on trapping heat, they reflect it so it can better disperse throughout the room. In addition to helping keep the heat trapped, these barriers c...

  Diethylene Glycol is a humectant and humidifying agent that can be added to gasoline and diesel fuel to increase the volume and flow of vaporized fuel. It's a clear liquid with a fruity flavor, odor, and color. It is miscible only in ethanol, water, ether, acetone, propane, and methanol. It dissolves in fatty acids and nonflammable organics. The compound is widely used in the transportation and storage industries for many industrial, medical, cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical applications. There are many uses for this chemical including but not limited to the following: anti-bacterial, deodorant, diuretic, laundry detergent, fire retardant, food packaging, fuel additive, gas additive, home remedy, and soil improver. Diethylene Glycol (DEG), which is the generic term for humectant and humidifying agent, is also referred to as a volatile organic compound (VOC) because it yields harmful fumes when heated. What is Diethylene Glycol? It is a white or yellowish liquid that is freque...
