Ethylene glycol dimethyl acrylate is a diester used in various industries to produce plastic, rubber, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals. It is non-toxic and can be used to create copolymer surfaces for tissue regeneration and hydrogels for artificial corneas and intraocular lens implants. Ethylene glycol dimethyl acrylate is a diester, meaning there are two alcohol/acid combinations in […]
Ethylene glycol is a colorless, viscous fluid with a sweet syrupy taste and no odor. It is commonly used as a coolant, heat transfer agent, and antifreeze agent, as well as a component in household products, polymer manufacturing, and wood rot treatment. However, it is toxic and can cause fatal poisoning if ingested. French chemist […]
Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPM) is a synthetic rubber used for insulation, seals, and belts. It has two grades with different saturation levels and is resistant to heat, weather, solvents, and ozone. EPM is a copolymer of ethylene and propylene, while EPDM is a terpolymer with unsaturated sections. It is commonly used in car seals, cable […]
Ethylene is a gas produced by the petrochemical industry for plastic production and by plants as a hormone affecting plant processes. It speeds up fruit ripening, inhibits flower production, promotes seed germination, and affects seedling development. Biosynthesis of ethylene in plants occurs in response to stress. Methionine is the starting point for biosynthesis, and ACC […]
Ethylene is a basic hydrocarbon gas used to create polymers for plastics and composite materials. It can be extracted from petroleum by-products or created in a lab. It has a sweet scent, is highly flammable, and was once used as anesthesia. Ethylene is also naturally produced by plants and can be used in agriculture to […]
Ethylene dichloride, also known as 1,2-dichloroethane, is an organochloride used to produce vinyl chloride, polystyrene, and other chlorinated solvents. It is a probable human carcinogen and can cause respiratory problems, nervous system damage, and harm to organs. It is present in rural air, surface and groundwater, and even in human breast milk. It is toxic […]
