Chemicals Used In The Agriculture Industry

Agriculture has always relied on innovation to keep up with the demands of a growing population. While traditional farming methods focused on soil health, crop rotation, and manual pest control, modern techniques incorporate a range of chemical solutions to improve growth and protect yields.These chemicals help farmers tackle challenges that could otherwise devastate crops and livestock, from nutrient deficiencies...

What is XRF and How is it Used?

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a practical technique used to determine the elements present in a material.It works by directing high-energy X-rays at a sample, which then emits its own unique X-rays in response. These emissions act as a fingerprint, revealing the elements in the material. The best part? It does so without damaging the sample, making it a...

Chemicals Used In The Aviation Industry

The aviation industry relies on a wide range of chemicals to keep aircraft running efficiently and safely. From keeping engines in top condition to ensuring cabins are clean and free from bacteria, each chemical plays a vital role. Some are used for maintenance, while others improve performance or protect against environmental damage.Understanding the different types of chemicals involved helps...

Manual VS Auto Titration: Which To Use

Titration is a cornerstone method in chemical analysis, used to figure out the concentration of a substance in a solution. It’s been done manually for years, but automated systems have changed the game, offering more precision and efficiency. Manual titration, meanwhile, is tried and true, and while there are some variations from human error it is still a staple in...

When And Why Can Chemicals Be Harmful?

Many everyday products that we use are chemicals, from the baking soda in our kitchen cabinets and the detergents under our sinks, to drain cleaners, air fresheners and yes, your food additives as well. This can cause alarm for many people because the word ‘chemical’ has come to sound dangerous and toxic - but not all chemicals are harmful.  While...

What is Metallurgy?

At its core, metallurgy is the study of metals, their properties, and how they can be changed and used. It combines elements of chemistry, physics, and engineering to not only improve existing materials, to help develop entirely new metal alloys that can improve everyday life. With its history tied intrinsically to humanity’s development, metallurgy is an area of science that never...

What Is The Latest Version Of The ISO 9001 Standard?

The ISO 9001 standard is the globally-recognised benchmark for quality management systems, guiding organisations in delivering consistent quality and customer satisfaction alike. While updates aren’t too frequent, they do happen when necessary, with the latest version of the ISO 9001 standard being ISO 9001:2015, which was published in September 2015. Although it keeps some features of the earlier version, others have...

What Are Different Types of Chemical Coatings?

When looking to protect different items, chemical coatings are key. Applied to various materials to enhance their properties, protect surfaces, and improve performance, they are commonly used across industries like automotive, construction, electronics, and textiles.Chemical coatings are a versatile solution for improving both the durability of products and changing their inherent properties to make them more resistant and better...
