The global adhesives market is one of the fastest-growing segments of commercial chemistry. Valued at over $50 billion and expected to grow to over $63 billion by 2021, the market is changing rapidly. Chemists are racing to develop the next generation of safer, smarter, more sustainable adhesives for use in industries like automotive and medical.

These three chemical advancements could be the mark of what’s next in the non-toxic adhesive space.

Proper maintenance is critical for successful use of chemical laboratory equipment. Clean and properly stored equipment performs better, enhances safety, and protects against contamination. What are the best-practices involved in maintaining a clean workspace in the lab?

Unsurprisingly, diligence and contentiousness are important factors in lab maintenance. Here are three ways to maintain lab equipment used for chemical storage, testing, and mixing.

Questions are swirling around whether or not the Environmental Protection Agency is in danger. Will the EPA change drastically over the course of the next few years, or could the agency even cease to exist?

Certain pigments have, excuse the pun, long and colorful histories. From the shrugged-off toxicity of White Lead to the terrifyingly-ubiquitous School Bus Yellow, here are the fascinating stories behind some of history’s favorite – and most dangerous – pigments.

Thallium Sulfate has a long history, particularly as an ill-advised medical treatment. The compound – also known as thallous sulfate – is represented as (Tl₂SO₄). It is, simply, the sulfate salt of thallium in its most common +1 oxidation state, and while it’s colorless and odorless, it’s also highly toxic.

Proper chemical storage is critical not only for efficiency, but for safety. Whether in commercial quantities or research amounts, chemicals that are stored improperly can be unsafe and in less-than-ideal condition for the application at hand.

Industrial-level chemical manufacturing requires acute attention to detail. Safety considerations for employees and scientists should always be the primary concern when deciding whether and how to scale up production.

Regular sunscreen usage is important, and it’s hard to argue it’s unhealthy. A rise in “organic” and “natural” sunscreens has many people questioning the health effects of chemical sunscreens, but should they be?

Shipping industrial chemicals is serious business. There are numerous federal regulations for shipping potentially hazardous and/or dangerous materials and it’s critical for chemical suppliers to follow these standards to the letter. Not only can failure to do so cost your company huge fines, improperly-handled chemicals can pose a serious physical threat to handlers and the end-users at your facility.
