Which chemicals should be used to effectively extinguish fires?

14-03-2018

Fire – a source of light and heat. It’s an origin on which the history of our entire civilization is based on. We have always approached the fire with great care from the oldest times, often without realizing the essence of its real threat.

Synthetic SLES as an alternative to oleochemical-based raw materials

24-10-2017

Alkyl ether sulfates constitute an important group of anionic surfactants, primarily used in cosmetic and detergent applications. These compounds exhibit very good emulsifying and foaming properties, which translates into their high washing efficiency. This makes them one of the main ingredients of shampoos and various body washes.

From shampoo to glyphosate or where monochloroacetic acid is used

8-08-2017

Among the raw materials and chemical intermediates it is possible to distinguish compounds with a very specific and narrow range of applications. However, some of them have much broader application capabilities. That is why they are used in many different industries. Chloroacetic acid, which is worth looking at a little closer, belongs to the second […]

The quality of chemical raw materials is an important factor in pharmaceutical production

2-08-2017

The pharmaceutical industry stands out among other areas of the chemical industry with high growth dynamics as well as above average profitability. It is, at the same time, one of the most innovative industries, investing significant financial resources in research and development. The development of medicine, demographic changes associated with ageing and increased health consciousness […]

Polyurethane systems — competitive thermal insulation for the cooling and heating device market

26-07-2017

The cooling device market is characterised by dynamic development and continuous innovation. Moreover, the market is wide open to improvement, especially if it increases the efficacy and thermal insulation performance of a system. At the same time, the market is relatively dependent on climatic and economic changes.

The world of soap — what do we really know about it?

12-07-2017

Regular and thorough hand washing is the simplest activity that we can do to protect ourselves against numerous diseases and infections. However, washing with water alone is not sufficient to ensure proper hygiene. It is only by adding soap that we can remove the majority of microbes and contaminants from the skin.

Block copolymers in the food industry or how to efficiently remove foam

5-07-2017

In some industrial processes the formation of high and stable foam is essential. More often, however, foaming is undesirable and can adversely affect the efficiency of subsequent steps in a production process.

Flame retardants – chemicals that open new possibilities for the industry…

26-06-2017

Plastics are contained in the majority of everyday life objects. As such, polymer materials intended for the construction, transportation, furniture and electronics industries are subject to strict fire resistance criteria. These requirements are aimed at reducing the risk of fire and extending the time for evacuation from the site of the incident.

Specialist premium polyols with improved properties

5-06-2017

Polyether polyols are a group of chemical compounds used for the production of polyurethane. Their features determine the physical and mechanical characteristics of produced materials, thus determine their applications too. Polyether polyols are the main component for production of flexible, rigid, semi-rigid, integral and spray foams, as well as adhesives, coatings and elastomers.
