The key ingredients used in the manufacture of resol resins are phenol and formaldehyde. Resols are a type of phenolic formaldehyde resins. Resol resins are thermosetting polymers which cure adequately without addition of any catalyst other than heat. They are mainly used for gluing and bonding building materials. They are widely used in applications such as molding compounds, wood working adhesives and insulation among others. Approximately, 700 kilotons of the total phenolic formaldehyde resins solids are used for these purposes and half of this volume is consumed in the U.S.Resol accounted about 50% of the global phenolic resins market in 2012. Furthermore, 5% of the phenolic resins are modified with other reactants such as cresols...
Trimellitates are additives that increase the plasticity or fluidity of a material. Trimellitates have applications in automobile industry and are used in automobile interiors where resistance to high temperature is required. Trimellitates are colorless to slightly yellow liquids with high boiling points and low vapor pressures; these properties contribute to their high physical stability. In addition, trimellitates have extremely low volatility. Trimellitates are soluble in numerous organic solvents and miscible with ether, alcohol and oils, but essentially insoluble in water. Because of the similarity in structure as well as physicochemical properties, the trimellitates are grouped into a single category containing four substances...
Caprylic alcohol also known as octanol is a colorless liquid with penetrating odor. Caprylic alcohol is insoluble in water and its vapors are heavier than air. Caprylic acid is a fatty acid alcohol mainly used as intermediate in chemicals and pharmaceutical industry. Caprylic alcohol is used as raw materials in manufacturing of surfactants, conditioners and disinfectants among others. It is also used as an intermediate in manufacturing of plasticizers. Caprylic alcohol also finds application in synthetic resins lubricants as an oil base and as emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization. Caprylic alcohol also finds applications in personal care and cosmetic products such as personal creams and ointments. Caprylic alcohol is used...
Fibers are the materials which have discretely elongated pieces and can be spun into threads and filaments. Fibers are classified into natural, synthetic and man-made. Natural fibers consist of animal and plant fibers market. Animal fibers consist of protein chains such as wool, silk, fur, hair and feathers among others. Plant fibers consist of field crops such as cotton, jute and linen among others. Animal and plant fibers are used in various end-user industries such as textiles, paper processing and composite materials. Wool is the most commonly used animal fiber. The fiber is springy and curly. The cloth manufactured is used in textile industry for manufacturing of shawls, woolen clothes, carpets and many other textiles products...
Ammonium carbamate is a salt of carbamic acid and ammonia. The compound is white, crystalline and soluble in water. Ammonium carbamate is manufactured by reaction of ammonia with dry ice (liquid carbon dioxide). It is used as a substitute for ammonia in certain applications. Ammonium carbamate is used as an elementary material for manufacturing ammonium carbonate. Ammonium carbamate is used as decomposition controller along with metal phosphides. In addition, it is also used for detoxification of off-gases.

Posterior Cervical Spine Systems are the fixation systems which are used to stabilize the cervical spine. Spine systems can either be implanted from the front (anterior) or from the back (posterior). Spine diseases such as spinal stenosis, fracture or dislocation of the spinal disc and other spinal deformities are increasing, driving the Posterior Cervical Spine Systems market as it increases the demand of cervical spine systems.
Vertebral body replacement (VBR) devices are used for insertion between vertebrae to aid surgical spinal stabilization and correction. A vertebral body replacement device is designed to replace and restore the height of part or overall vertebral body specifically that portion of the vertebra which bears weight or has been removed in order to treat tumors. These vertebral body replacement devices and implants allow anatomical matching along with restoration of standard spinal balance. These devices are intended to treat indications including vertebral tumor, anterior column fracture, and vertebral reconstruction after corpectomy. The introduction of new generation vertebral body replacement devices developed on expandable implant...
Breast Brachytherapy is a type of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI), in which radiation doses are delivered into the tumor cavity in breast cancer with the help of a small radioactive pellet of iridium-192. Breast brachytherapy is beneficial as it is a targeted therapy and provides limited radiation exposure to healthy cells or tissue. Breast brachytherapy has less side effect and better cosmetic results. Breast brachytherapy also allows more treatment options in case of new cancer or recurrence. The main reasoning behind the breast brachytherapy is to exaggerate the treatment to the area having the highest risk of recurrence. Thus handling the affected area of the breast to control cancer also reduce the side effects...
Peripheral drug eluting balloon or peripheral drug coated balloon is the angioplasty balloon, used for the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases. Peripheral drug eluting balloon is covered with lipophilic anti-proliferative drugs. When the drug eluting balloon reaches the vessel, during inflation of the balloon the drugs are released into the vessel wall. These drugs are released at a minimum inflation time and nominal pressure. Because of the lipophilic nature of the active substance on the peripheral drug eluting balloon, the drugs are absorbed at a minimal time to the vessel wall. The drug eluting balloon is used in re-stenotic lesions to treat luminal loss and neointimal hyperplasia. Peripheral drug eluting balloon procedure...
