Waxes are used in the rubber industry for the production of rubber hoses, conveyor belts, rubber toys, fitting gloves, tires, gaskets and many other similar rubber applications. Waxes have the following applications in rubber industry: It acts as antiozonants, by migrating on to the surface a thin protective layer is formed insuring protection against ozone attack and brittleness. Paraffin Wax gives rapid protection for newly produced goods but in case of microcrystalline Wax, It guarantees slow
1. Lipids A lipid is a group of naturally occurring molecules. That group includes fats, waxes, steroids, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) phospholipids, etc. They are broadly defined as hydrophobic or amphiphilic small molecules. The amphiphilic molecules form structures such as vesicles, liposomes, and membranes in an aqueous environment.They are insoluble in water, yet soluble in alcohol. (Human Biology) Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen but they have far less oxygen than carbohydrates
1. Wax: Biological waxes are esters of long-chain (C14 to C36) saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with long-chain (C16 to C30) alcohols. Their melting points (60 to 100 _C) are generally higher than those of triacylglycerols.In plankton, the free-floating microorganism sat the bottom of the food chain for marine animals, and waxes are the chief storage form of metabolic fuel. Waxes also serve a diversity of other functions related to their water-repellent properties and their firm consistency
Humans obtain their nutrients from the food and water that they drink. They are used to build and repair tissues and regulate body processes and are converted to and used as energy. Lipids are a category of nutrients. Lipids consist of fats, oils, and waxes and are very important for are body’s health. Lipids are important for the human body because they are for storing energy, they’re good at storing energy because they can concentrate a group of calories in a smaller area. There are many functions
your skis to perform to their best, simple maintenance needs to be performed. One of the best and easiest way to do so is to apply wax. One can be confused at first by the variety of waxes available on the market. To see that, just check ski section in local Beaver Sports store. In reality, just one or couple waxes needed to get started. I'm going to explain how to wax your skis for the diagonal stride technique and what exactly waxing does to the skis. Ski structure Cross country skis are
skis to be much easier. Additionally, the skis will glide properly if waxing is maintained, not to mention, you will be even faster on the slopes! The first step to waxing your skis is choosing the right wax. There are a few different categories of waxes, for example, temperature-specific wax. Each wax in this category has a temperature range
the candles that are used today. Many other early civilisations developed wicked candles with the use of waxes extracted from various plants and insects. The Chinese made candles from moulded paper tubes, using a rolled rice paper for the wick and wax taken from seeds and indigenous insects. The Japanese also made candles from waxes derived from tree nuts, while the Indians made candle waxes by boiling the fruit of the cinnamon tree. • The Middle Ages The candle making process improved during the
molecule groups; the other three are carbohydrates, portions, and nucleic acids or DNA. Lipids are made of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. Although, lipids carry very little oxygen atoms compared to hydrogen atoms. They include phospholipids, fats, waxes, and steroids. A few important functions of a lipid include hormones, cell membranes, and energy storage. Steroids are part of the four major lipid groups. They include cholesterol, hormones, and
Lipids Lipids are fats, oils and waxes, organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The same three elements are involved in the structure of carbohydrates, but the amount of oxygen in the molecule present is much less than in carbohydrates. Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ether. They are relatively small molecules compared to the polysaccharides, but because they are insoluble they tend to join together to form globules.
functions; serving as structural components of biological membranes, act as vitamins and hormones, provide energy storage (triaculglycerols). Lipids are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Lipids can exist as fats, oils and waxes. Fat and oils are similar in structure as they are triglycerides, however, they physically differ at room temperature fats are solid and oils liquid. Their differences in property are what help contribute to its significance in life. A triglyceride
Quick waxes such as rub on, paste, and spray on are fairly easy to apply. Hot wax is a bit more difficult to apply and needs to be melted on then scrapped off with a scrapper ("How to Wax Skis and Snowboards”). Scrapping the wax off fills the small holes or scrapes that may be on a skier’s ski. This type of wax is much more effective and coats the ski more evenly than the other waxes tested. A mistake could have been made when the wax was scrapped
Animals and plants each require their own unique form of carbohydrates, fats, and protein to function. Humans have many chemical compounds found in the body, each classified as different macromolecules. Macromolecules include fats, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleotides. Each performing their own unique function in the human body. Carbohydrates, or carbs, are used to spare the use of protein in the body and use it as energy. Carbs can be found in many foods, such as grains, fruits and milk products
COSMETOLOGY It is the study and application of beauty treatment. The branches of Cosmetology includes , skin care, cosmetics, manicures and pedicures. TYPES OF COSMETOLOGY The cosmetology is itself is being divided in basically two branches. 1. Decorative cosmetology 2. Remedial cosmetology 1. Decorative cosmetology. This type of cosmetology is basically concerned with enhancing the physical appearance, or protection from the ultraviolet rays. This is also called protective cosmetology. Examples
What type of ski wax will reduce the friction between ski bases and snow the best: rub on, paste, spray on, or hot. Skis slide because when pressure is applied to the snow it creates a thin layer of water in between the ski bases and the snow. Furthermore, skis repel water causing them to slide instead of sticking to the snow. If ski wax is applied by rubbing, pasting, spraying, melting, then melt on wax will reduce the most friction because it coats the skis more evenly, fills in small imperfections
Two types of ski wax are used : glide wax to minimize kinetic friction and grip wax to minimize static friction. The appropriate amount of these two types of waxes is dictated by factors including snow crystal type and size , moisture content on snow surface (which is a function of temperature e.t.c). Synthetic lubricants : Artificially made lubricants fall in this category and are made up of modified petroleum
them. Where did gum come from. Believe it or not people have been chewing on the natural form of gum for thousands of years. The most common form of gum that people chewed on was tree resin lumps, but sweet grasses, grains, leaves, tree saps and waxes were also used. Chewing gum has been chewed in many forms and flavors from as far back as the ancient Greeks, ancient Mayans and North American Indians. According to Emma Greene “the first commercial chewing gum was invented and sold in 1848. by
What are organic compounds, you may ask? Well organic compounds are compounds that always contain carbon, or any compound that contains a carbon atom. But some describe organic compounds as any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly are hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. But there are a few exceptions to this organic rule, which are carbon monoxide, carbonates, carbon dioxide, cyanides, cyanates, carbides
a liquid, cake, or cream. They contain the basic components of pigments, oils, waxes, and preservatives. The pigment for black mascara is carbon black. Brown mascaras use iron oxides. Some of them contain the pigment ultramarine blue. Specific oils such as mineral oil, linseed oil, castor oil, eucalyptus oil, lanolin, turpentine oil, and sesame oil is used. Paraffin wax, carnauba wax, and beeswax are common waxes found in mascara. The effects of mascara depend on the ingredients. An effect
fats I will be stating the formation of lipids and what they are made of. Lipids are a group of substances which include fats and oils, steroids which include cholesterol and some of the sex hormones, and various other substances such as the waxes which cover insect bodies and plant leaves. Lipids are a mixed group of hydrophobic compounds composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Triglycerides are commonly called fats or oils. They are made of glycerol and fatty acids. They
