What Are Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons?

  Hydrocarbons of mineral oil (MOHs) are complex chemical blends. MOHs usually come from crude petroleum. They are primarily made up of hydrocarbons saturated with mineral oil (MOSH) and aromatic mineral oils (MOAH). MOSH consists of open, often rammed hydrocarbons and cyclic, saturated hydrocarbons (usually referred to as paraffin) (commonly named naphthene's). MOAH comprises aromatic monocarbons or polycyclic hydrocarbons. In general, Naphthene and MOAH are rather alkylated. The MOAH content can reach up to 35 per cent depending on crude oil source and refining. How does MOAH/MOSH enter Food Products? What are the known contaminant sources? Mineral oils have a wide range of input pathways that span all stages of food production (raw materials, storage and transportation, production, and packaging materials). Adhesives, printer inks, and packaging materials - especially those made of recycled materials - are the main sources of MOSH/MOAH contamination. Machine and hydraulic oils u

What is the testing purpose of male and female condoms?

Condoms are the second best thing to happen to humans after sex. Without a doubt, it is one of the most brilliant human inventions. It not only helps you prevent accidental pregnancies, but it also prevents you from STI. Male condoms have been on the market for far longer than female condoms, so, understandably, male condoms are more commonly used, but it is reassuring to know that there is another choice that allows women to be in charge. Women with these needs will protect themselves from disease and motherhood without depending on the guy to use a condom. Female Condom Material - The FC2 internal condom, also known as the female condom, consists of a smooth, thin (nitrile) substance-free of latex, so no allergic reaction is possible. It is inserted within the body to create a removable pocket that restricts the exchange of body fluids between sex partners and direct contact with your skin. In comparison to masculine condoms, the FC2 is pre-lubed on both ends, making both partner

Influence of Water on Concrete

  How often have you heard the contractors say “how about if we add some more water to the concrete eh?” Well, depending on the conditions that must be followed, adding water to a concrete load may or may not be suitable. If no concrete has been drained except for slump or slump flow testing, a one-time injection of water may be divided into multiple separate adds of water. However, within 15 minutes of the start of the first water addition, all water additions must be completed.  Also, one should make sure that water is pumped in a manner under certain pressure and direction of flow that optimal a mixture of the matter is attained. Hence, keeping in mind the goal, that a homogeneous mixture is achieved, the drum should be turned an additional 30 revolutions at mixing level, or more if possible. The sole The aim of this article is based on strengthening one’s understanding of water-cement proportions and how excess and undesired water additions can influence the concrete's performa
