The Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry

Green chemistry is a concept that crops up with increasing frequency; we’ve already discussed it here previously with reference to the Periodic Table’s ‘endangered’ elements, and the recycling rates of metal elements used in mobile phones.

Advanced Polymer Materials (APM) S.r.l.

APM collaborate with several companies for the activities of quality control of the raw materials, with methods for the determination of physical-chemical properties, rheological, thermo-mechanical and morphological properties of thermoplastic polymers, elastomers and thermo- and UV-curable monomers. APM also participates to the control and optimization of processing, such as monoriented and blown molded film extrusion, injection molding and rotational and the production of polymer blends. In recent years, APM has developed, in collaboration with some italian companies, polymer blends for rotational molding, new adhesives and coatings for the protection of metal and glass surfaces and applications with monomers and polymers derived from renewable resources.

What is household hazardous waste? Unwanted leftover products accumulated in a home that are ignitable, toxic, corrosive, or reactive. Examples include oil based paints, lighter fluid, fertilizers, adhesives, and cleaning products.

Working in heat can be hazardous and can cause harm to workers

Infographic | December 18, 2019

You must do everything reasonably practicable to eliminate the risks of working in heat. Where the risk cannot be eliminated, it must be minimised as much as reasonably practicable. Different workers may react differently to heat conditions. 5 Heat is not just a hazard when working outdoors on hot days. Consider the conditions inside your workplace and what hazards may be present.

Crude oil undergoes a process called fractional distillation in the refinery plants. Crude oil is being heaten to crack down to shorter hydrocarbon chain under different temperature. The major by products are refinery gas, petrol, naphtha, kerosene, diesel, lubricating oil, fuel oil and bitumen.

Specialty Chemicals Market Overview

Infographic | December 26, 2019

The global specialty chemicals industry stood at almost $600 billion in 2018. Specialty polymers, industrial and institutional cleaners, electronic chemicals, surfactants, and flavors and fragrances were the largest sectors. Specialty chemicals are consumed in a wide variety of end use industries and growth is very much dependent on the health of the economy.
