  2. Trap (plumbing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(plumbing)

    In the United States, traps are commonly referred to as P-traps. It is the addition of a 90 degree fitting on the outlet side of a U-bend, thereby creating a P-like shape (oriented horizontally). It is also referred to as a sink trap because it is installed under most sinks. Because of its shape, the trap retains some water after the fixture's use.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tovex

    Tovex is a 50/50 aqueous solution of ammonium nitrate and methylammonium nitrate (sometimes also called monomethylamine nitrate, or PR-M), sensitized fuels, and other ingredients including sodium nitrate prills, finely divided (paint-grade) aluminum, finely divided coal, proprietary materials to make some grades cap sensitive, and thickening agents to enhance water resistance and to act as ...

  4. 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane

    1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane was used in large amounts to produce other chemicals like trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and 1,2-dichloroethylene. [6] Because of its possible carcinogen effects on humans, the production of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane has decreased significantly and is no longer widely used as an end-product. [7]

  5. Dapsone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dapsone

    As an anti-inflammatory, dapsone inhibits the myeloperoxidase-H 2 O 2-halide-mediated cytotoxic system in polymorphonucleocytes. [50] As part of the respiratory burst that neutrophils use to kill bacteria, myeloperoxidase converts hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) into hypochlorous acid (HOCl). HOCl is the most potent oxidant generated by neutrophils ...

  6. 1,1,2-Trichloroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,1,2-Trichloroethane

    1,1,2-Trichloroethane, vinyl trichloride or 1,1,2-TCA, is an organochloride solvent with the molecular formula C 2 H 3 Cl 3 and the structural formula CH 2 Cl—CHCl 2. It is a colourless, sweet-smelling liquid that does not dissolve in water, but is soluble in most organic solvents. It is an isomer of 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and a byproduct of ...

  7. Gelation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelation

    At that point in the reaction, which is defined as gel point, the system loses fluidity and viscosity becomes very large. The onset of gelation, or gel point, is accompanied by a sudden increase in viscosity. [3] This "infinite" sized polymer is called the gel or network, which does not dissolve in the solvent, but can swell in it. [4]

  8. 1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane

    1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane (dibromochloropropane), better known as DBCP, is the organic compound with the formula BrCH(CH 2 Br)(CH 2 Cl). It is a dense colorless liquid although commercial samples often appear amber or even brown. It is the active ingredient in the nematicide Nemagon, also known as Fumazone.

  9. 1,2-Cyclopentanedione - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2-Cyclopentanedione

    1,2-Cyclopentanedione is the organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 3 (CO) 2. It is one of two isomeric cyclopentanediones, the other being 1,3-cyclopentanedione . It was first prepared by base-induced condensation of di ethylglutarate with diethyloxalate , followed by hydrolysis of the resulting diketodiester followed by decarboxylation. [ 1 ]
