They are widely used in the production of a range of different products thanks to their unparalleled toughness, flexibility, and elasticity. EVA copolymers are being aggressively used in different industries such as footwear, sports equipment, automotive and life-saving […]

Toluene is a high-demanding colourless liquid used as a solvent in many industries. It is also acknowledged as methylbenzene or toluol. Despite being highly flammable, it adheres to a sweet and pungent odour. Toluene has extended applicability as it is used in various industries such as paints, adhesives, rubbers, plastics, drugs, and fuel. The handling […]

High alumina refractory cement refers to the type of cement produced from high-grade bauxite and alumina. It comprises high alumina content, above 50%, and is used in applications where high refractoriness and strength are vital. Some common applications of this cement include lining furnaces, kilns, incinerators, and so on. It is also utilized in the […]

Hydrophobic Portland cement (aka HPC) refers to a type of cement that is designed to resist water and repel moisture. Its boosts the durability and lifespan of concrete structures by minimizing their susceptibility to water damage. HPC also comprises water-repellent chemicals, which are added during the manufacturing process. These chemicals surround the cement particles and […]

Oil well cement refers to a type of hydraulic cement used to secure the steel casing as well as the wellbore of a gas or oil well to the surrounding rock formation. It is used in the oil and gas industry during drilling and completion operations to provide zonal isolation, which deters the mixing of […]

High Alumina Cement (aka HAC) refers to a type of cement that is made from a mixture of limestone & bauxite. It is also acknowledged as Calcium Aluminate Cement or Refractory Cement. HAC entails a high percentage of alumina (Al2O3) content, typically more than 35%, which imparts unmatched refractory properties, making it ideal for use […]

White Portland cement refers to a type of cement that is identical to ordinary gray Portland cement. However, the raw materials used for its production produce a white or light-colored product. It is widely used in architectural concrete, terrazzo, precast concrete products, stucco, and other decorative applications where a clean, vivid appearance is required. The […]

A Watt-hour meter refers toa measuring device that computes and records the electrical power propagating through a circuit at a given time. With this meter installed, the consumer can ascertain the amount of energy used by a household in a given timeframe. Electric power distribution companies install watt-hour meters at households to determine electrical usage […]

Masonry cement refers to a type of cement that is subjected to a blending process to produce a binding mortar when mixed with water and sand in apt proportions. This cement is widely used for blockwork, bricklaying, and plastering. The masonry cement boosts the bond strength, workability, and durability of the mortar. It also prevents […]

Elastomer-insulated cables, as the name suggests, refer to elastomer-based cables that have rubber-like insulation. Elastomers are essentially synthetic polymers that have elastic properties. These cables are best known for their unparalleled durability, flexibility, and ability to withstand chemicals, heat, and abrasion. Elastomer-insulated cables are widely used in an assortment of applications, including control systems, power […]

This standard outlines the requirements for flexible cables used in miners’ cap lamps comprising a battery with a protective cover, a cable, and a headpiece with a light source. The standard deals with the cables that […]

A structured wall plastic pipe is the ideal choice for different plumbing and water management requirements. Increased strength, durability, and ability to withstand chemicals make these pipes stand out. Just like other plumbing pipes and fittings, these products are required to be manufactured as per BIS norms. An Indian Standard called IS 16098 (Part 1): […]

Hubless centrifugally cast iron pipes, fittings, and accessories experiences consistent demand in various plumbing applications throughout the year. Since cast iron is a highly robust and durable metal, it serves as an ideal material for plumbing applications. IS 15909:2011, an Indian Standard, covers these pipes and fittings and specifies testing and quality requirements. The manufacturer […]

The flux-cored arc welding process is made possible by the electrode’s design. This inside-outside electrode comprises a metal sheath covering a core of fluxing as well as alloying compounds. The compounds present in the electrode basically perform the same purpose as the coating on a covered electrode, i.e., slag formers, deoxidizers, and alloying elements. There […]
