Propylene glycol has many uses beyond just being an antifreeze. Discover some of them here!

Propylene glycol is used in a variety of products, including cosmetics, food additives, and pharmaceuticals. It also serves as a solvent for other chemicals. What is Propylene Glycol? Propylene Glycol is a synthetic liquid used in a wide range of applications such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and manufacturing industries. It is an alcohol that absorbs water and mixes with many solvents, made primarily made by treating propylene oxide from refining petroleum with water. It is used to absorb extra water and retain moisture in medicines, cosmetics, or foods. As a solvent, it is used in the food, paint, and plastic industries. Also, propylene glycol is used in theatrical productions and firefighting training to simulate smoke or fog. Major Application Areas Pharmaceutical Pharmaceutical-grade propylene glycol USP/EP is used as a non-active enabling agent, also known as an excipient. As an agent, it carries flavors in food and beverages, helps retain taste and moisture

Benzalkonium Chloride

  Benzalkonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium-based antiseptic and disinfectant with actions and uses similar to those of other cationic surfactants. It is also used as an antimicrobial preservative for pharmaceutical products. It is an effective bactericidal and fungicidal agent that helps to minimize the growth of microorganisms. To eradicate 99.9% of bacteria, it is used in foaming hand sanitizers, soaps, and other products. It has an important role in preventing the spread of serious infectious diseases. BKC has antimicrobial properties which protect the product from spoiling. How does Benzalkonium Chloride work? It is an organic compound based on quaternary ammonium compound, which helps in the complete removal of any harmful microorganisms, and is mainly used as an antimicrobial preservative to help minimize the growth of unwanted organisms. Benzalkonium Chloride can disrupt the cellular membrane lipid bilayers of bacteria, compromises cell permeability, and result in cell lea

Boiler Feed Water Chemicals

  The main types of industries that use boilers include the pharmaceutical, textile, steel, and chemical industries. The performance of any boiler system depends on the efficiency of heat transfer, from the fireside to the waterside. In the continuous operation, scales or deposits develop on the boiler tubes which affect the heat transfer taking place in the boiler. Chemical treatment of boiler feed water for treatment and conditioning of feed water maintains optimal heat exchange, and protection of the boilers. Boiler feed water chemistry Porous forms of salts such as Calcium, Magnesium and high carbonaceous deposits precipitate and form dense uniform pitting and scaling over the boiler surfaces. With the feedwater, the dissolved solids and impurities begin to precipitate at the base, with a continuous accumulation. Along with dissolved salts, there are also some suspended solids in that get precipitated as sludge. These are not hard as compared to scales, but if overlooked, ge

Protect your car with a coolant change - Antifreeze with Ethylene Glycol as Coolant

  Antifreeze with ethylene glycol as coolant acidifies overtime and oxidizes when exposed to air and heat. Upon oxidation, glycol breaks down into organic acids such as glycolic, glyoxalic, formic, carbonic and oxalic acid. These are corrosive and chemically attack the materials of construction corroding, cracking the process pipelines. The major problems faced by automobiles and heavy-duty diesel engines are corrosion, pitting, scaling and acidification. Corrosion Corrosion affects all metal parts with the corroded products circulating freely in the cooling system later causing erosional damage, and channel blocking. This leads to system failure and increased system downtime. The second being decrease in efficiency owing to loss in heat transferring properties. Mechanical vibrations cause pressure changes in the coolant forming gas bubbles. This consistent air pocket formation and breakdown along surfaces can be repetitive and violent enough to corrode the underlining metal resu

Wastewater Treatment chemicals – Chemtex Speciality Ltd

  Wastewater Treatment chemicals – Chemtex Speciality Ltd   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. Depending on the source, the composition of wastewater ranges from mildly polluted stormwater run-off to toxic wastewater from chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and metal industries . The presence of pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended particulate matter, dissolved gases, paint emulsions, pesticides, bio-solids, and many more undesirable substances can impair the quality of water. Why treats wastewater?   Domestic wastewater contains a large amount of solid material, food particles, toilet paper, grease, oil, soap, salts, metal detergent, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products.  Industrial wastewater is released from different commercial and manufacturing units such as textiles, printing, F&B, a

Brewery Cleaning in Place (CIP) with Chemtex

  Brewery Cleaning in Place (CIP) with Chemtex   With a high degree of inaccessibility to the desired areas, manual cleaning operations seem far-fetched. Cleaning in place or CIP allows cleaning and sanitizing on a regular basis to avoid the growth and spread of harmful bacteria which can contaminate the beer. Maintaining a consistent and thorough cleaning regimen will ensure that every pint you pour is worthy of your brand. To thoroughly clean and sanitize brewery equipment and machinery, you will need cleaning in place or a CIP system. CIP systems have been designed for cleaning and disinfecting the interior processing machinery/equipment without the need for manual cleaning. Cleaning-in-place Cleaning in place in Brewery Industry requires chemical, bacteriological, physical, and sterile cleaning before the next production process forming an essential aspect of dairy production. CIP systems are engineered for fast, efficient, and consistently high-quality cleaning of product
