  4. Diol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diol

    2,2-Disubstituted propane-1,3-diols are prepared in this way. Examples include 2-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol and neopentyl glycol. 1,3-Diols can be prepared by hydration of α,β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes. The resulting keto-alcohol is hydrogenated. Another route involves the hydroformylation of epoxides followed by hydrogenation of ...

  5. Azeotrope tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotrope_tables

    This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,3-Propanediol

    1,3-Propanediol is the organic compound with the formula CH 2 (CH 2 OH) 2. This 3-carbon diol is a colorless viscous liquid that is miscible with water. Products

  7. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

    Most antifreeze is made by mixing distilled water with additives and a base product, usually MEG (mono ethylene glycol) or MPG (mono propylene glycol). Ethylene glycol solutions first became available in 1926 and were marketed as "permanent antifreeze" since the higher boiling points provided advantages for summertime use as well as during cold ...

  8. Humectant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humectant

    When the humectant glycerol was added to soaps for the cleansing of wounds, similar effects were found. There was an increase in moisture in the areas that the soap was applied, however, "further consideration of conditioning the use of glycerol to improve the absorption of exudates from wounds for an advanced wound healing is needed."

  9. Shower gel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower_gel

    Shower gel is a derivative invention of the liquid soap, which first appeared in the 1800s. In 1865, William Shepphard patented the formula behind the liquid soap, [1] but the product gained eventual popularity with the rise of Palmolive soap in 1898, by B.J. Johnson. [2]
