Polypropylene is a form of synthetic fibres commonly used in concrete as a way to reduce potential cracking and generally improve the durability of this construction material. In order to use these fibres, you do not need to make any special modifications to the...

Polypropylene (PP) fibres are a set of synthetic fibres with certain features that make them a great addition to construction materials, especially when concrete is needed. Polypropylene fibres are usually made up of either continuous or discontinuous PP fibre...

Calcium carbonate is quite a common mineral that can be found throughout the world. In fact, it's estimated that about 4% of the world's crust is covered by calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate can take many forms such as limestone, chalk, marble, and others. It forms...

Zinc borate is naturally occurring but can also be synthesized and used in a wide variety of industries. It's an inorganic compound with a low toxicity used primarily as a flame retardant and smoke suppressing in plastic, fibres, paper rubbers, and textiles. It's also...

Lignosulfonates are water-soluble anionic polyelectrolyte polymers. In the oil industry, lignosulfonates are used as a reagent to control the basic parameters of drilling fluids and as deflocculants to prevent the coagulation of solids. Lignosulfonate is ideal for oil...

Copper sulphate is an inorganic compound of Copper and Sulfur with the chemical formula CuSO4. Its striking bright blue colour is visually captivating. It is also known as Cupric Sulfate, Copper Sulfite, blue vitriol or Bluestone. It’s effective at killing fungus and...

Calcium Sulfate, CaSO4, is a naturally occurring calcium salt available in three forms. This calcium compound is most recognized in its dihydrate form gypsum or calcium sulphate dihydrate (CaSO4∙2H2O). In its anhydrous form (CaSO4), it's used as a desiccant (dries...

Aluminium is one of the most abundant elements found on Earth. It has been found to encourage plant growth and reduce crop yield in acid soil. However, in certain forms, such as active Al ion it can be toxic to plants. Aluminium toxicity is especially present in root...

Over the past few years, the construction industry has experienced tremendous growth and development. This has necessitated the development of modern admixtures and additives. Additives and admixtures for concrete are chemical substances added to concrete to improve...

Kidney stones are a condition where one develops hard deposits in the kidney. They are formed when minerals and acid salts crumble together in concentrated urine. Aluminium hydroxide has often been used as a dosing schedule in mitigating the condition. However, you...
