  2. Wax emulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_emulsion

    However, because the preparation takes place above the melting point of the wax, the actual process is called emulsification, hence the name wax emulsion. In praxis, wax dispersion is used for solvent based systems. A wide range of emulsions based on different waxes and blends thereof are available, depending on the final application.

  3. Emulsifying wax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsifying_wax

    Emulsifying wax is created when a wax material (either a vegetable wax of some kind or a petroleum-based wax) is treated with a detergent (typically sodium dodecyl sulfate or polysorbates) to cause it to make oil and water bind together into a smooth emulsion. It is a white waxy solid with a low fatty alcohol odor.

  4. Pyridine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyridine

    The contemporary methods of pyridine production had a low yield, and the increasing demand for the new compound urged to search for more efficient routes. A breakthrough came in 1924 when the Russian chemist Aleksei Chichibabin invented a pyridine synthesis reaction, which was based on inexpensive reagents. [43]

  5. Sizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sizing

    Preparation of canvas for the oil painting always includes sizing: the canvas will "rot" if directly exposed to the paint. Aqueous glue, frequently the hide glue was used for sizing the canvas for centuries, [ 13 ] Size in art is not a replacement for ground : it is not intended to form a level surface for painting, it is used to simply fill ...

  6. Fabric treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabric_treatment

    For lipstick and oil-based cosmetics, use mineral oil to blot the stain and last for 15 minutes, then sponge with the mixture of ammonia and water. Rinse it. [16] For nail polish, put some polish remover to the back of the stain and repeat this step until the stain lifts. Wash it in the laundry and rinse it. [16]

  7. Hantzsch pyridine synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hantzsch_pyridine_synthesis

    Upon metabolism, 1,4-DHP based antihypertensive drugs undergo oxidation by way of cytochrome P-450 in the liver and are thus converted to their pyridine derivatives. [11] As a result, particular attention has been paid to the aromatization of 1,4-DHPs as a means to understand biological systems and so as to develop new methods of accessing ...

  8. N-Hydroxyphthalimide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Hydroxyphthalimide

    Oxidation of KA oil to caprolactam. The use of N-hydroxyphthalimide as a catalyst in the oxidation of KA oil avoids the formation of the undesirable by-product ammonium sulfate which is produced by the conventional ε-caprolactam synthesis (Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime with sulfuric acid).

  9. Microcrystalline wax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcrystalline_wax

    The melted wax can be cast to make multiple copies that are further carved with details. Jewelry suppliers sell wax molded into the basic forms of rings as well as details that can be heat welded together and tubes and sheets for cutting and building the wax models. Rings may be attached to a wax "tree" so that many can be cast in one pouring.
