Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH₂O and structure H−CHO. The compound is a pungent, colourless gas that polymerises spontaneously into paraformaldehyde. It is stored as aqueous solutions, which consists mainly of the hydrate CH₂₂. It is the simplest of the aldehydes. As a precursor to many other materials and chemical compounds, in […]

polystyrene

Polystyrene is a synthetic polymer made from monomers of the aromatic hydrocarbon styrene. Polystyrene can be solid or foamed. General-purpose polystyrene is clear, hard, and brittle. It is an inexpensive resin per unit weight. It is a poor barrier to air and water vapor and has a relatively low melting point. Polystyrene is one of […]

Styrene

Styrene is a versatile aromatic hydrocarbon that is widely used in the production of various polymers and plastics. It is a colorless to yellowish, oily liquid with a sweet, floral odor. Styrene’s chemical formula is C8H8, and it is derived from benzene through a process called ethenylbenzene. One of the primary uses of styrene is […]

Dioctyl phthalate

Bis phthalate is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₄₂. DEHP is the most common member of the class of phthalates, which are used as plasticizers. It is the diester of phthalic acid and the branched-chain 2-ethylhexanol. This colorless viscous liquid is soluble in oil, but not in water.

polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is a versatile and durable thermoplastic polymer known for its excellent impact resistance, transparency, and heat resistance. It is produced through the reaction of bisphenol A (BPA) and phosgene, resulting in a high-performance material with a wide range of applications. Key characteristics and uses of polycarbonate include: 1. High Impact Resistance: Polycarbonate exhibits exceptional […]
