How the use of acid inhibitors prevents flash rusting during acid cleaning?

  One of the crucial aspects of metal infrastructure maintenance is the regular cleaning process. Within this domain, Acid Cleaning emerges as a pivotal method renowned for its efficacy in eradicating rust, scale, and contaminants from metal surfaces across diverse industrial sectors. However, amidst its utility, a notable challenge looms the occurrence of flash rusting. This phenomenon entails the rapid onset of rust, swiftly spreading across metal surfaces upon exposure to oxygen and moisture. It serves as a significant indicator, suggesting potential salt contamination, heightened humidity levels, or a combination of both factors. In the perpetual endeavor to combat corrosion, the emergence of flash rusting introduces a compelling element to the narrative of metal preservation. Let us first try to understand what’s and whys of flash rusting. It is a rapid corrosion process that occurs when metal surfaces, stripped of rust and contaminants through acid cleaning, react with oxyg...

What Makes Food Grade Glycol Indispensable in F&B Operations?

  In the dynamic landscape of F&B operations, that includes Beverages and juices, Breweries & Distilleries, Dairy & Ice Cream production, Packaged Food processing, Fish Processing Units, Pharmaceutical & Bulk Drugs manufacturing, Poultry facilities, and Vegetable Oil processing, innovations and efficiency are the keys to success. Among all essential components, one essential component that plays a crucial role in maintaining these standards is food grade glycol. Generally, Propylene glycol (PG) is generally considered and used as one. Recognized as safe by regulatory bodies like the FDA, it works as a heat transfer fluid (HTFs), widely used in diverse industries. Its high thermal conductivity, low viscosity, and non-toxic nature make it ideal for applications where heat transfer efficiency and safety are paramount. Propylene Glycol ensures precise temperature control during chilling, ensuring optimum thermal stability at extreme temperatures. Its broad-spectrum c...

The Role of Pour Point Depressant for Enhancing Cold Flow Performance

  As the winter season approaches, the effectiveness and functionality of numerous liquid products, particularly within the oil and gas sector, may be markedly influenced by colder temperatures. The occurrence of wax crystallization in these substances can result in a higher pour point, presenting challenges for their handling in frigid environments. However, the introduction of Pour Point Depressants has revolutionized the industry by mitigating these challenges and improving cold flow performance. Understanding Pour Point and its Challenges: Pour Point Depressants are chemical additives that allow oil and lubricants to flow at very low temperatures without heavy wax formation at these cold temperatures and enable the oil to remain flowable. Compounds Used in Pour Point Depressants Alkylated wax naphthalene, Polymethacrylates, alkylated wax phenol How Do Pour Point Depressants Work? Pour Point Depressants are chemical additives designed to modify the crystallization of...

Importance of Eco-Friendly Vapour Degreasing Solvents In Industrial Cleaning Applications

  In the realm of industrial cleaning, the utilization of solvent vapors has become a pivotal method for ensuring the pristine condition of various components. Industrial degreasing, a critical step in manufacturing processes, relies on advanced cleaning solvents to efficiently remove contaminants like oils, greases, and residues from metal surfaces. This intricate process, often referred to as metal degreasing or parts cleaning, is essential for maintaining the quality and functionality of manufactured goods. Now the question is how vapor degreasing process adopt eco-friendly solvents in industrial process? In recent years, the emphasis on adopting eco-friendly practices in industrial settings has led to a significant transformation in the choice of cleaning solvents. This shift is particularly evident in the widespread use of environmentally conscious options in vapor degreasing applications. Companies, such as Chemtex Speciality Limited, a notable player in the field of chem...

For a lifelong service of your engine, Here’s an unstoppable journey

  What is Antifreeze? Antifreeze is a radiator fluid additive that prevents the coolant from freezing. It is made from ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, and it lowers the coolant’s freezing point to keep it from becoming ice. The purpose of an engine cooling system is to remove excess heat produced by engine operation and control metal temperatures within safe limits. High-speed driving with today’s engines can produce enough heat energy. Liquid cooled internal combustion engines require a circulating coolant to remove excess heat. While water is an effective heat transfer fluid, it has serious shortcomings as an engine coolant. It freezes at too low a temperature and causes corrosion of cooling system metals. How Does Coolant Work? Coolant Works by circulating through the engine and absorbing heat. The heat is then transferred to the radiator, where it’s dissipated. Engine coolant is used in conjunction with a liquid cooling system, made up of •    ...

Role of Polyelectrolytes in the Treatment of Waste Water

  Wastewater is any water whose quality has been adversely affected by human activity. Wastewater can begin from a variety of sources such as residential, industrial, business, or agricultural activities, etc. It is a process that is essential to adjust the pH of the water and reduce the release of contaminants into the environment. The presence of pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, dissolved gases, paint emulsions, pesticides, bio-solids, and many more undesirable substances can impair the quality of water.   Chemtex wastewater chemicals treat this sludge before release. The sewage sludge produced is subjected to sludge treatment. Many problems are associated with wastewater collection and treatment such as foaming, solid accumulation, high BOD, sludge de-watering, heavy metals, and offensive odors.
