Re-dispersible powder are white colored dried products of copolymers of olefins and unsaturated monomers. The solid particles of the powder do not agglomerate into small particles; rather they can re-disperse in water and form stable emulsions. The polymer is prepared with 40% to 60% solid ... Read more

A composite is defined as a multiphase material that exhibits significant proportion of properties of the constituent phases. It usually consists of a continuous phase called matrix and a dispersed phase called reinforcement. Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) is ceramic-based reinforced material ... Read more

Pultrusion, a process that is used for manufacturing composite materials, impregnates reinforced materials such as fibers, woven fabrics, and branded strands with resins. This infusion is either done by pulling the reinforcement through a bath or by injecting the resin into an injection chamber ... Read more

Pressure pumping services or pressure pumping systems are used in unconventional oil fields and mature oil fields. Pressure pumping services or systems are applied by the operator company to those oilfields which are underperforming in terms of hydrocarbon production. Pressure pumping is ... Read more

Pour point is the minimum temperature at which a fluid becomes semisolid and ceases to flow. Diesel fuel is prone to waxing or gelling in cold weather. This leads to the development of solid wax particles in the fuel. At low temperature, the wax tends to separate, thereby trapping considerable ... Read more

Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) is a thermoplastic polymer of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA). It is a clear, strong and lightweight plastic generally used as a substitute to glass due to its energy efficiency and weather resistance. It is available in two grades and can be classified as optical and ... Read more

Polymer stabilizers are used as an additive to manufacture plastic products. They are used directly or in combinations in order to prevent oxidation, chain scission, uncontrolled recombination, and crosslinking reactions. Plastics such as poly vinyl chloride and poly carbonate tend to degrade ... Read more

A pad mounted transformer is used for electric power distribution. The pad mounted transformers are fixed to the ground and are locked in a steel cabinet. This steel cabinet is then fixed on a concrete pad. Pad mounted transformers are employed at service drops with underground electric power ... Read more

Oil & gas lubricants: Market Overview

Oil and gas exploration is an industry where machine dependability is crucial. If the machinery stops drilling, the turnover (profit) stops. Both onshore and offshore oil and gas exploration operate in remote locations. Even an ... Read more
