EDC is a colourless liquid with a mild odour. It is toxic and extremely flammable. EDC is a good organic solvent but slightly soluble in water.

Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula KOH, and is commonly called Caustic Potash.

Along with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), this colorless solid is a prototypical strong base. It has many industrial and niche applications, most of which exploit its corrosive nature and its reactivity toward acids. An estimated 700,000 to 800,000 tonnes were produced in 2005. Approximately 100 times more NaOH than KOH is produced annually. KOH is noteworthy as the precursor to most soft and liquid soaps as well as numerous potassium-containing chemicals.

Other applications include uses in photography. It may also be used as an electrolyte in electrochemical grinding manufacturing processes, typically diluted to about 10% concentration in water. It is used in a variety of metallurgical applications, for phosphatizing and detinning.

Sodium nitrite is an effective corrosion inhibitor and is used as an additive in industrial greases,as an aqueous solution in closed loop cooling systems, and in a molten state as a heat transfer medium.

Other applications:

• Antimony(III) oxide is an opacifying agent for glasses, ceramics and enamels.
• Some specialty pigments contain antimony.
• Antimony(III) oxide is a useful catalyst in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET plastic) and the vulcanization of rubber.

Diethyl carbonate(sometimes abbreviatedDEC) is acarbonate esterofcarbonic acidandethanolwith the formula OC(OCH₂CH₃)₂. At room temperature (25 DegreeC) diethyl carbonate is a clear liquid with a low flash point.

Diethyl carbonate is used as asolventsuch as inerythromycinintramuscular injections. It can be used as a component ofelectrolytesinlithium batteries. It has been proposed as a fuel additive to support cleaner diesel fuel combustion because its high boiling point might reduce blended fuels'' volatility, minimize vapor buildup in warm weather that can block fuel lines.It can be made by reactingphosgenewith ethanol, producinghydrogen chlorideas a byproduct. Becausechloroformcan react with oxygen to form phosgene, chloroform is stabilized for storage by adding 1 part (by mass) of ethanol to 100 parts (by mass) of chloroform, so that any phosgene that forms is converted into diethyl carbonate.

Additional Information:

2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is a chlorinated derivative of phenol with the molecular formula C₆H₄Cl₂O. 2,4-DCP is used primarily as an intermediate in the preparation of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Annual worldwide production is estimated at 88 million pounds.^[1] It is also a photo-degradation product ofcommon antibacterial and antifungal agent triclosan along with the dioxin 2,8-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.Liquid (molten) 2,4-DCP is readily absorbed through the skin and contact with large amounts may be fatal.Solid 2,4-DCP does not readily absorb through skin and has a lower NFPA H=3 rating (versus H=4 for molten 2,4-DCP). This is primarily caused by instantaneous renal failure, liver damage and various other organ failure.

Terylene (a trademark formed by inversion of (polyeth)ylene ter(ephthalate)) is also spliced into bell rope tops to help prevent wear on the ropes as they pass through the ceiling.
