Food grade lubricants refer to lubricants that are used to maintain the food processing machinery, i.e. it protects the tools and machines from wear and tear. However, since many of them come into direct contact with food, these lubricants used in these machineries need to be different from the usual machine lubricants. In other words, they should not render the food unfit for consumption. With recent advances in the food processing industry, there is now much variety in the machinery used to process each food/beverage category. With growing concern over the food we eat, food processors need to comply with various regulatory frameworks like the Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP). The standards vary from country to country. However, these are internationally accepted standards which are followed by food grade lubricant manufacturers. For instance, the non-profit public health and safety company, NSF International, along with USDA, has set standards for various food grade lubricants.

Ethylene-propylene elastomers (EP elastomers) are one of the most widely used and fastest growing synthetic rubbers, after polybutadiene rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). Ethylene-propylene elastomers have outstanding resistance to ozone, aging, weather and high temperature; good low-temperature flexibility and excellent electrical properties. Ethylene-propylene elastomers are also resistant to polar solvents like acids, water, phosphate esters, alkalies and many ketones and alcohols. Ethylene-propylene elastomers have lower densities than all other elastomers and plastics and can accept high loadings of reinforcing agents, fillers and plasticizers, making them an economical choice for a wide range of applications. Ethylene propylene elastomers have use in wide range of industries including: building and construction, automotive, plastic modification, lubricant additive, wire and cables and tyres and tubes among others. Ethylene-propylene elastomers are sold under the brand names Norde, Keltan and Royalene among others.

Garnet is available in many colors including pink, black, blue, brown, purple, green, yellow, orange, red and colorless. Almandine, spessartine, grossular, uvarovite, andradite and pyrope are six minerals which are regarded as belonging to the garnet family.

Industrial gloves are utilized to ensure employee safety and sanitary conditions in the workplace. Industrial gloves are a necessary item, especially in the food, chemical and healthcare industry. Industrial gloves provide protection against cold, heat, damage by friction, abrasion, chemicals and diseases. Industrial gloves can be manufactured from natural materials or synthetic materials. The gloves are selected according to the occupation environment, the duration of the job, and the type of conditions or contaminants associated with the job.

A magnetic plastic is a non-metallic magnet made from an organic polymer. PANiCNQ, which is a combination of tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and emeraldine-based polyaniline (PANi) is an example of a magnetic plastic. PANiCNQ was created by researchers at the University of Durham in 2004 and was the first magnetic plastic to function at room temperature. PANiCNQ is a conductive polymer that is stable in air and is 1/100th the strength of conventional metal magnets. When combined with the free radical-forming TCNQ as an acceptor molecule, it can mimic the mechanism of metallic magnets. Magnetic plastics could lead to the development of inexpensive and flexible devices for quantum computing and superconducting electronics.

Mannosylerythritol lipids (MEL) are surface active compounds that belong to the glycolipid class of biosurfactants and have widespread industrial and commercial applications. Mannosylerythritol lipids have gained attention due to their self-assembling properties, structural diversity and mild production conditions. Mannosylerythritol lipids are produced by pseudozyma species as a major component while Ustilago species produces them as a minor component. Mannosylerythritol lipids can replace their synthetic counterparts as they are derived from renewable feedstock and have better quality and efficiency. Mannosylerythritol lipids have superior dispersing, emulsifying and foaming properties and are effective at extreme temperatures, salinity and ph. The global mannosylerythritol lipids market has grown gradually with Europe and North America being the largest markets. Even though they have greater biodergaradiiblity and reduced toxicity, cost competiveness remains a major factor for production of mannosylerythritol lipids. However, new innovative techniques and optimized cultivation conditions have allowed companies to produce mannosylerythritol lipids on a commercial scale and reap the benefits of green biosurfactant technology.

Marcasite is an attractive mineral which is used to make wide variety of jewelry. It has an orthorhombic crystal structure and is physically and crystallographically distinct from pyrite although they have the same chemical formula. Marcasite can be difficult to distinguish from pyrite due to lack of existence of crystal habit. Marcasite is lighter and more brittle than pyrite and has a pale yellow to almost white color and a bright metallic luster. It can be formed as both primary and secondary mineral and it generally forms under low temperature and highly acidic conditions. As a primary mineral it occurs in sedimentary rocks such as shales, limestones and low grade coals. As a secondary mineral it forms by chemical alteration of a primary mineral such as pyrrhotite or chalcopyrite. It is commonly associated with dolomite, fluorite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, galena, sphalerite and calcite. Marcasite is inherently unstable under atmospheric conditions. It reacts more readily than pyrite under high humid conditions and produces iron sulfate and sulfuric acid as a result of disintegration. The disintegration of pyrite is known as "pyrite decay" and is a major problem for conservators involved in geological collections. Low humidity can prevent or slow down the reaction.

Methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) is an organic chemical compound, a branched hexyl alcohol, which is used as a frother in mineral flotation. Methyl Isobutyl carbinol is a clear, colorless liquid, slightly soluble in water and miscible with most organic solvents. Methyl isobutyl carbinol can be used as a solvent, in organic synthesis, as a precursor to some plasticizers and in the manufacture of brake fluid. Methyl isobutyl carbinol is also known as methyl amyl alcohol, isobutyl methyl methanol, Isobutyl methyl carbinol, 1,3-dimethylbutanol, 4-methyl-2-amyl alcohol, 2-methyl-4-pentanol and 4-Methyl-2-pentyl alcohol among others. Methyl isobutyl carbinol has good solvent properties for oils, waxes, dyestuffs, natural resins and ethyl cellulose. Methyl isobutyl carbinol is readily biodegradable, unlikely to accumulate in the food chain, and is considered non-toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms on an acute basis.

Vibration monitoring systems are used to decrease the operating cost of a plant by reducing its maintenance cost and the instances of unplanned outages. These systems are also utilized for the optimization of various maintenance activities during planned shutdowns. The usage of vibration monitoring equipment is growing exponentially in various applications and industrial segments owing to its capability of detecting the possible failure of machinery in advance. The equipment can further detect various machine deterioration and faults before the introduction of any symptoms in the system such as heat, sound, lubricant impurities and higher electrical consumption. Currently, vibration monitoring is considered to be most preferred condition monitoring tool and hence a crucial part of condition monitoring program.

Optical amplifiers are a key technology used for optical communication. It is a device used to amplify any input optical signal without the need to first transform it into an electronic signal. Together with the technology of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) which allows the communication of various channels over the same optical fiber, now it is possible to transmit many terabits of data covering a distance of few hundred kilometers to transoceanic distances with the help of optical amplifiers. Generally an optical communication comprises of a transmitter and a receiver connected with an optical fiber. Although the signals transmitted through optical fiber suffer far less disturbances than in other mediums like copper, there is always distance of 100 kilometers a signal can travel before the signal becomes too noisy.
