Corrosion Inhibitors Corrosion inhibitors are substances applied to an environment that significantly reduces the corrosion rate of materials, particularly metals, exposed to that environment. Corrosion inhibitors can greatly extend the lifespan of equipment and reduce repair costs due to corrosive damage. They can also reduce cleaning costs, improve performance, and optimize operational efficiencies. ... Read more »
The performance additive market has seen tremendous growth in recent years and is expected to continue to gain strength. One of the driving factors has been a move away from single-function additives and a push towards multi-functional products. Manufacturers are reformulating, looking for the replacement raw materials that will provide cost savings and improve performance... Read more »

Combustible dust safety is vital for many businesses and manufacturers. In 2021, combustible dust was responsible for 163 fires, 53 explosions, 215 injuries and sixty-nine deaths, according to Dust Safety Science’s Combustible Dust Incident Report. Combustible dust is fine particles of products that build up over time and when suspended in the air can ignite.... Read more »
Fumed silica is one of the many modern super-substances. It’s a versatile chemical designed in the twentieth century and developed for applications across many industries. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at this dynamic, useful chemical: when it was first used, how it’s manufactured, and what makes it unique. At the end of... Read more »
Morpholine is incredibly common but a surprisingly little-known substance. It has applications as diverse as cleaning, rubber production, construction, heating and cooling, personal care, agriculture, and so much more. And yet, for all its usefulness, morpholine is strangely invisible. People don’t often think or write about morpholine, and it really is practically invisible, as it... Read more »
When it comes to grease and lubrication, synthetic oil is the standard go-to for many applications, from engines to factory equipment to personal care products. And within this standard, polyalphaolefin oils (PAOs) are arguably the gold standard. However, synthetic oils, PAOs included, were not so ubiquitous until just a few decades ago. Why is synthetic...

Graphene oxide is– true to its name– oxidized graphene. ChemCeed’s article on graphene has already discussed a strange quirk in the history of graphene itself. Graphene was first discovered in 2004, even though carbon nanotubes (CNT), which are made of graphene, were discovered in 1991. Well, get ready for another surprising paradox: graphene oxide (GO)...
