IRON OXIDE

IRON OXIDE

~ also known as Iron(II) oxide; ferrous oxide; Iron monooxide; Oxoiron; 1345-25-1; Iron monoxide; etc. is an inorganic compound and one of the several iron oxides. The global iron oxide market is projected to increase at a CAGR of 4.3% between 2015 2025, owing to its wide application as pigments, catalysts, etc. Construction and paints & coatings are the major end-use industries for iron oxides.
Chemical structure: FeO. Typical iron deficient (non-stoichiometric) form also exists, with compositions ranging from Fe0.84O to Fe0.95O.
Properties: Iron oxide mainly exists as black cubic crystals. It is practically insoluble in water and alkalies, but readily sol in acids.
Production: 
  1. FeO can be prepared by the thermal decomposition of iron (II) oxalate.
FeC2O4 → FeO + CO2 ...

BUTYL ACRYLATE 

Image result for BUTYL ACRYLATE
~ also known as N-Butyl acrylate; 141-32-2; Butyl prop-2-enoate; N-Butyl propenoate; Acrylic acid butyl ester; etc. is a chemical used in manufacturing. Global Butyl Acrylate market will be worth $9.4 Billion by 2018. Butyl acrylate market size will witness a strong growth by 2024 due to increasing potential applications in various end-use industries.
Chemical structure: CH2=CHCOOC4H9 or C7H12O2. It is highly reactive and polymerizes easily when exposed to heat or peroxides.
Properties: Butyl acrylate is a clear colorless liquid with a sharp characteristic odor. It is slightly soluble in water and somewhat less dense than water.
Production: 
Butyl acrylate can be produced in several reactions.
  1. Acetylene, 1-butyl alcohol, carbon monoxide, nickel carbonyl, and hydrochlo...

Propylene Gylcol

PROPYLENE GLYCOL

~ also known as 1,2-propanediol; 1,2-dihydroxypropane, Propane-1,2-diol; 57-55-6; 1,2-Propylene glycol; etc. is a is a synthetic organic compound. The global propylene glycol market is projected to reach USD 4.60 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2016 to 2021
Chemical structure: C3H8O2 (CH3CHOHCH2OH).  It is sometimes called α-propylene glycol to distinguish it from the isomer propane-1,3-diol (β-propylene glycol).
Properties: Propylene glycol is a clear, colorless and hygroscopic liquid. Propylene glycol contains an asymmetrical carbon atom, so it has two enantiomers. The commercial product is a racemic mixture. Pure optical isomers can be obtained by hydration of optically pure propylene oxide.
It is non-corrosive and has very low volatility and toxicity...

ADIPIC ACID

ADIPIC ACID

~ also known as Hexanedioic acid; 1,4-Butanedicarboxylic acid; 124-04-9; Adipinic acid; Adilactetten; etc. is the most important dicarboxylic acid. About 2.5 billion kilograms of this white crystalline powder are produced annually, mainly as a precursor for nylon production.
Chemical structure: C6H10O4 or HOOC(CH2)4COOH. Adipic acid is a dicarboxylic acid.
Properties: Adipic acid is a white crystalline solid. It is insoluble in water.
Production: 
  1. Adipic acid is produced from a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone called KA oil”, i.e. ketone-alcohol oil. The KA oil is oxidized with nitric acid to give adipic acid, via a multistep pathway. Early in the reaction, the cyclohexanol is converted to the ketone, releasing nitrous acid. Among its many reactions, the cyclohex...
