Flame retardant

higher temperatures, boron does burn to form boron oxide, B2O3. 4B + 3O2(g) → 2B2O3(s) Most of the boron that is mined today is eventually refined into boric acid or borax. Boric acid is used in a number of applications including insecticides, flame retardants, antiseptics, and to create other compounds. Borax is a powdered material used in detergents, cosmetics, and enamel glazes. Boron is used in the manufacture of glass and ceramics. It produces high end cookware materials used in brands…

Some of the many chemicals that are polluting the Chesapeake Bay are polychlorinated biphenyls (PBCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, and personal care/pharmaceutical products. PBCs are a flame retardant that cannot legally be made in the USA, but are legally imported and pollute the bay about evenly throughout. When gas, oil, or coal is burned, PAHs can be formed. PAHs are found mostly around Baltimore and near the Anacostia and Elizabeth rivers. Since agriculture is…

They are anti-static and flame retardant. Rugs made from finest quality wool will color better, shed fewer and last longer. • Synthetic: These types of rugs are quite budget friendly and can match all type of home décor. • Jute: These types of rugs are eco-friendly and are perfect for…

These resins are used in various chemical instrumentation and medical devices due to their high solvent, heat, and flame resistance properties. These resins have a temperature limit of 340 °F. • Liquid Crystal Polymers: Abbreviated as LCP, these polymers exhibit high tensile strength, and have high heat and chemical resistance. These polymers form areas of ordered structures…

They are manufactured using textiles and components that contain none of the harmful chemicals and toxins that are found in traditional crib mattresses. This means that things like formaldehyde and flame retardant chemicals aren’t going to be found in the mattress. Natural components are used in the place of these traditional chemical laden textiles and can help to reduce allergens in the mattress, reduce the risk of SIDS and create a healthier sleeping…

heartbeat, cell damage, dehydration, an impaired digestive system, liver problems, metabolic syndrome, accelerated aging, and cancer. Soda has toxic chemicals-brominated vegetable oil, or BVO, is an example. BVO is an industrial chemical used as a flame retardant in plastic, it is known to cause memory loss and nerve disorders when consumed in large quantities. BVO is used in soda to prevent the flavoring from separating from the soda. There is an ingredient included exclusively in dark sodas…

enough to ignite. Lightning, burning campfires or cigarettes, hot winds, and even the sun can all provide sufficient heat to spark a wildfire. Although four out of five wildfires are started by people, nature is usually more than happy to help fan the flames. Dry weather and drought convert green vegetation…

Destin Briggs Lu Jack Chem 4235 11/4/2017 Original Synthesis of Cadmium Nitrate Tetra-Hydrate Cadmium nitrate tetra-Hydrate is an inorganic compound from the family of compounds with the general formula Cd (NO3)2.XH20, where X=4, hence the molecule has four molecules of water of crystallization in its structure. It exists as a salt but in its anhydrous state, it is known to be a volatile substance. It is a colorless substance as are all the compounds in the family of cadmium nitrates. Cadmium…

In an ethical manner, it is not morally right to endanger another person 's life in order to make a profit, as it creates more harms than benefits. Companies are dumping dangerous and hazardous products on overseas markets and it should be in the company’s best interest to consider the health and safety of the people and animals.
