Normal Butyl Benzene (NBB) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H14. It is a colourless almost pale yellow liquid at room temperature. There are two isomers of Butylbenzene of which n-butylbenzene consists of a phenyl group attached to the 1 position of the butyl group. It is slightly greasy in texture and has […]
Introduction As the global shipping industry moves towards decarbonization, alternative fuels are gaining traction. Switching to methanol as a marine fuel is emerging as a viable solution due to its low emissions, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with existing infrastructure. With leading shipping companies like Maersk and Stena Line investing in methanol-powered vessels, its role as a […]
ATBS (or AMPS) is a very versatile and unique alkyl acrylamide monomer that also has a sulfonic acid group attached to it. Polymers made with ATBS as a co-monomer are used in many applications like textiles, flocculants, dispersants, scale control agents and oil-field additives. ATBS can be easily polymerized with acrylic esters, acrylamide, acrylic acid […]
