  • The Use of Fluorine within Advanced Cultures
    Many people working outside the field of chemistry do not realize that much of what we touch everyday contains a fluorine compound. Fluorine is a versatile element that has unique bonding properties and is also very stable. This makes it ideal for inclusion in a number of products. Industrialized and developing cultures use fluorides to create new products and maintain a better quality of life.
  • The Role of Fluorine within the Pharmaceutical Industry
    In general, most people associate the ninth element on the periodic table, fluorine, with dentistry. However, this is only one side of this versatile chemical. In its pure form, it is actually a poisonous gas, unfit for consumption by humans. Many derivatives of the element are harmless or even beneficial to the body. In fact, medicines containing fluorine are extremely common.
  • The History of Anesthesia
    Over the years there have been many inventions which have made our lives easier. Considering these inventions, perhaps none is as overlooked as anesthesia. Anesthesia is a catchall term for substances meant to block sensation. They are used in most cases to put patients to sleep for surgeries and other painful procedures.
  • The Process of Producing Specialty Chemicals
    Specialty chemicals have an enormous variety of uses; in fact, it's more accurate to say that in most cases, it's possible to produce a specialty chemical that suits whatever the needs of a particular process might be.
  • Applications of Inert Oils, Greases and Waxes
    Inert oils, greases, and waxes are preferred in many industrial situations because they are designed to have low reactivity in the presence of heat or another catalyst. These synthetic substances are generally inert because they are non-hydrocarbon based, and they are manufactured specifically to meet high standards of purity and inactivity.
  • An Overview of Inert Lubricants
    Inert lubricants have an enormous number of industrial and commercial uses, from oils used to keep heavy machinery running smoothly, to the wax that skiers use to decrease the friction between snow and their skis.
  • An Overview of Specialty Fluorochemicals
    Fluorine has a number of chemical properties that make it particularly desirable for a wide variety of different industrial, commercial, and even medical applications. In particular, it is the most electronegative and the most highly reactive of all the elements, and readily forms compounds with all elements except for the three lightest noble gases. One particularly useful property of fluorine is that it forms strong and stable covalent bonds with carbon.
  • An Overview of Halo Chemicals
    Halochemicals are compounds that contain halogens, one of the group of elements that includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine, and the as-yet undiscovered ununseptium (the existence of the latter element has been shown, but it has not yet been synthesized).
  • A Summary of Inhalation Anesthetics
    Inhalation anesthetics (also known as volatile anesthetics) are those that are introduced into the body via inhalation through the lungs. Following inhalation the anesthetic is distributed throughout the body’s tissues via the bloodstream. In most cases, the brain is the principle target when inhalation anesthetics are administered.
