Science and chemical manufacturing resources
There are strict laws and regulations in place to help prevent injuries in chemistry. School laboratories and chemical companies also have their own specific internal safety procedures to protect students and employees.Whether you’re a chemistry student or a professional chemist, it’s vital to handle chemicals safely. Of course, you should always wear protective gear like goggles and gloves when...
Designing materials for easy degradation is one of the twelve principles of green chemistry. It aims to purposely design and make products that break down into non-harmful constituents that do not persist in the environment or get magnified in the food chain.Many of the synthetic polymer chemicals we use on a daily basis, such as those found in plastic,...
Solvents are indispensable in chemistry. Not only do they facilitate the dissipation of other substances (especially solids) into a more fluid form, but they also allow us to create the different concentrations necessary for precise reactions.As well as being essential to chemistry and chemical manufacturing, solvents are used in food preparations and other daily activities. For example, when you...
Many aspects of the chemical manufacturing industry have already integrated sustainable, environment-friendly practices. In fact, using renewable feedstock in chemical manufacturing is one of the twelve principles of green chemistry.As the name implies, a renewable resource can be used several times without being significantly depleted. It can also be replenished quickly without the need for complex industrial processes. The...
Many consumer and industrial chemical products are harmful to the environment when used or disposed of. Some also produce hazardous byproducts during the manufacturing process itself. The good news is that it’s possible to minimise, if not eliminate, many of the detrimental effects by using alternative feedstocks and making the production process more efficient. This is one of the...
Sustainable chemistry is a broad term that encompasses all environmentally-friendly practices in chemistry. These include minimising the carbon footprint and designing efficient chemical processes that produce the least possible amount of waste products.Sustainable chemistry is almost synonymous and interchangeable with green chemistry, although the latter is a more specific and distinct discipline. The scope of sustainable chemistry tends to...
Preventing excessive waste byproducts in chemical processes, particularly on an industrial scale, is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.It’s also the second principle of green chemistry, otherwise known as the atom economy principle. Put simply, this principle aims to maximise the amount of atoms in a reactant that turn into the desired final product. The atom economy is therefore the...
Green chemistry is important because it aims to lower the carbon footprint and hazardous byproducts of industrial chemical processes, while still providing a cost-effective means of chemical manufacturing.Green chemistry is both a specialised scientific field within chemistry/chemical engineering and a philosophy with specific core principles and goals. Also known as sustainable chemistry, it’s primarily concerned with reducing the hazardous...

Always have excellent service from yourselves from ordering product to delivery.
Kevin Wallcroft
A particularly easy to deal with chemical company. I telephoned, got all the advice needed with excellent friendly service. My chemicals arrived the very next day. Very happy!
Joanne King
Fast efficient service, was kept updated on order throughout. Can not fault ReAgent sales and delivery processes.

Their customer services were very helpful, sending us all the lab reports we needed, before we even bought from them. Then, once we ordered the product came very quickly.
