The Use of Fluorochemical Compounds in Organic Chemistry

Generally, the major uses of fluorochemical compounds fall into three major categories at the turn of the 21st century. The first are the rather stable halocarbon compounds used in medicine such as several types of inhalation anesthetics for anaesthesia. A very major industrial use is in the form of heat tolerant and inert synthetic […]

Industrial Uses for Synthetic Oils and Fire Resistant Lubricants

There are many uses for fluorochemicals and organic halocarbon compounds in industry and commerce. Sometimes fluoro-chemicals are the safer alternative to chemicals that were designed to use chlorine instead. There are many medical applications of halocarbon chemicals, too, such as a wide range of anaesthetic compounds. However, the most directly industrial use is as […]

Reactive Gases and the Synthetic Lubricants that Love Them

Fluorine is a remarkable element. In its elemental state, it is highly reactive and toxic. However, when tightly bonded to other molecules and elements, it becomes almost totally non-reactive, taking on remarkable properties that have made the manufacture of almost totally inert lubricants possible. These lubricants not only include high temperature grease and oil […]

Halocarbon Compounds and Their Use in High Temperature and Flame Resistant Applications

Fluorinated oil and other chemicals such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) are fire resistant oils that are found wherever temperatures are high enough that a conventional hydrocarbon-based lubricant could spontaneously combust.
Such flash points can be as low as 30C for some compounds. High temperature grease and other inert lubricants are absolutely necessary for the safe function […]

B2B Directory

A B2B directory is fundamentally different from a search engine, even though it also presents a list of links to a certain topic. Search engines look for sites on the whole B2B based on the keywords one has entered, whereas a B2B directory has a set amount of links, usually entered by the owners […]
