Nonidet P-40 is a nonionic, non-denaturing detergent. Its official IUPAC name is octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. Nonidet P-40 is sometimes abbreviated as NP-40, but should not be confused with a different detergent by the same name NP-40 , nonylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol of the Tergitol NP series of Dow Chemicals.
Confusingly, biochemical protocols published between the 1960s [3] and 2000s refer to Shell's Nonidet P-40 as NP-40. Shell's original Nonidet P-40 had a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value of 13.5, [4] as opposed to 12.9 for the currently available IGEPAL CA-630, [5] indicating that the currently available compound is more potent than ...
It is available in densities varying from 3 to 25 pounds per cubic foot (0.048 to 0.400 g/cm 3). [3] It has a low flammability rate. [4] A universal cross-linked closed-cell PVC that was used in a comparison with three heat-resistant cross-linked had a glass temperature of 83.2 °C.
Wall panels made from materials like gypsum board are often selected for their inherent fire-resistant properties. Other materials, such as PVC and WPC panels, can be treated with fire-retardant coatings to meet safety standards. Fire-resistant panels slow down the spread of flames and help contain fires within specific areas, thereby providing ...
XLT Agar (Xylose Lysine Tergitol-4) is a selective culture medium for the isolation and identification of salmonellae from food and environmental samples. It is similar to XLD agar; however, the agar is supplemented with the surfactant, Tergitol 4, which causes inhibition of Proteus spp. and other non-Salmonellae. [1]
The Dow Lab Safety Academy is one component of Dow's larger laboratory safety initiative launched in early 2012, following a report from the U.S. Chemical Safety Board [147] that highlighted the potential hazards associated with conducting research at chemical laboratories in academic institutions. Seeking to share industry best practices with ...
Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made of wood fiber/wood flour and thermoplastic(s) such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polylactic acid (PLA). In addition to wood fiber and plastic, WPCs can also contain other ligno-cellulosic and/or inorganic filler materials.
The military sprayed Saran on fighter planes to guard against salty sea spray, and carmakers used it for upholstery. Dow later devised a formulation of polyvinylidene chloride free of unpleasant odour and green colour. The most well known use of polyvinylidene chloride came in 1953, when Saran Wrap, a plastic food wrap, was introduced.
