TiO2
It gives whiteness, brightness and opacity properties. The most important application areas are paints and varnishes as well as paper and plastics, which account for about 80% of the world’s titanium dioxide consumption. Other pigment applications such as printing inks, fibers, rubber, cosmetic products, and food account for another 8%. The rest is used in other applications, for instance the production of technical pure titanium, glass and glass ceramics, electrical ceramics, metal patinas, catalysts, electric conductors, chemical intermediates, or as a substrate for phosphonic acid adsorption.
Isocyanate
It is used as liquid chemicals and hardener in the production of polyurethane. Isocyanates contain isocyanate group (-NCO) compounds. They react with compounds containing alcohol (hydroxyl) groups to produce polyurethane polymers, which are components of polyurethane foams, thermoplastic elastomers, spandex fibers, and polyurethane paints. Also, isocyanates can bond with metals. Isocyanates are used as raw materials in all polyurethane products. The degree of reactivity of isocyanates is quite high.
Polyol
A polyol is an organic compound containing multiple hydroxyl groups. The term “polyol” can have different meanings in its uses in food science and polymer chemistry. The molecule with more than two hydroxyl groups is a polyol, three of which are triol and a quartet of tetrol. Traditionally, polyols do not refer to compounds containing other functional groups.
Defoamer
A defoamer or an anti-foaming agent is a chemical additive that reduces and hinders the formation of foam in industrial process liquids. The terms anti-foam agent and defoamer are often used interchangeably.
Dispersing agent
A dispersant or a dispersing agent is a substance, typically a surfactant, that is added to a suspension of solid or liquid particles in a liquid (such as a colloid or emulsion) to improve the separation of the particles and to prevent their settling or clumping.
