Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a very flexible material with unique flow properties that makes it particularly suitable for shopping bags and other plastic film applications. LDPE has high ductility but low tensile strength, which is evident in the real world by its propensity to stretch when strained
Transparent Rock Crystal has many electronic uses; it is used as oscillators in radios, watches, and pressure gauges, and in the study of optics. Quartz is also used as an abrasive for sandblasting, grinding glass, and cutting soft stones.
Uses. Silica sand used for water purification and manufacture of glass, synthetic foundry moulding catalysts, disodium ultramarine etc. it is also used for acid heat resistant ceramics, refractories, pottery glaze, enamel etc
It is used to manufacture steel and also used in civil engineering like reinforced concrete, girders etc. Iron is used to make alloy steels like carbon steels with additives such as nickel, chromium, vanadium, tungsten, and manganese
What is the main use of bitumen? The primary use (70%) of asphalt is in road construction, where it is used as the glue or binder mixed with aggregate particles to create asphalt concrete. Its other main uses are for bituminous waterproofing products, including production of roofing felt and for sealing flat roofs
It is used in mortar for plastering, masonry work, pointing, etc. It is used for making joints for drains and pipes. It is used for water tightness of structure. It is used in concrete for laying floors, roofs and constructing lintels, beams, stairs, pillars etc.
Bauxite is used in a lot of industries like the chemical industry, refractory, abrasive, cement, steel, and petrol industry amongst others. In chemical, bauxite along with alumina is used in the manufacturing of aluminium chemicals. In refractory, it is used as a raw material for making several products.
The primary use of clinker is to manufacture cement. Cement is used in construction to make concrete as well as mortar and to secure the infrastructure by binding the building blocks. It is also used for water-proofing, filling or sealing gaps, and making decorative patterns.
It is used in the production of polymers and acrylate esters and as a feedstock for chemical syntheses. Glacial acrylic acid has useful properties such as flexibility, good weathering, adhesion, hardness and resistance to abrasion and oils and as such it is used as an additive in a wide range of products.
Urea serves an important role in the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds by animals. Other than its main use in Agriculture, it has other uses in the production of Explosives, Automobile Petrol and Dermatological Products.
Kaolinite is the most abundant clay mineral, and is used for pottery and ceramics. It is also very important in the production of paper, and is used in pharmaceuticals as an ingredient in some medications such as stomach soothers.
Butyl acrylate is used in paints, sealants, coatings, adhesives, fuel, textiles, plastics, and caulk
Petroleum coke refers to all types of carbonaceous solids obtained in petroleum processing, which includes green or raw, calcined and needle petroleum coke. Petroleum coke is used in many applications, including electrodes and anodes. It is also used as a fuel in the metal and brick industries.
Other common names include caustic soda and lye. Sodium hydroxide is used to manufacture soaps, rayon, paper, explosives, dyestuffs, and petroleum products. It is also used in processing cotton fabric, laundering and bleaching, metal cleaning and processing, oxide coating, electroplating, and electrolytic extracting.
Diammonium phosphate (ALPO4) DAP is used as a great fertilizer and when applied as plant food, it temporarily increases the soil Ph which enhance the growth process. It can also be used as a Fire Retardant and a yeast nutrient in winemaking and mead brewing.
Sulfur is often transported in a molten state that is an amber- colored liquid. It is used in making Sulfuric Acid, rubbers, detergents, fungicides and fertilizers, and in petroleum refining.
Rock phosphate, or phosphorite, is mined from clay deposits that contain phosphorus and is used to make organic phosphate fertilizers that many gardeners utilize
Feldspar is a common raw material used in glassmaking, ceramics, and to some extent as a filler and extender in paint, plastics, and rubber. In glassmaking, alumina from feldspar improves product hardness, durability, and resistance to chemical corrosion.
With a high strength-to-density ratio, HDPE is used in the production of plastic bottles, corrosion-resistant piping, geomembranes and plastic lumber. HDPE is commonly recycled, and has the number "2" as its resin identification code.
Slack wax is used in emulsions, construction board, matches, candles, rust protective products and moisture vapor barriers, polishes, inks, carbon paper and externally can be applied as good dust suppressants or controlled-release agents for various chemical and fertilizers.
