3. Water Softening Water softeners, which typically employ ion exchange technology, can be used to reduce hardness in the water supply. By replacing calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions, the risk of scale formation is significantly decreased.
6. Impact Modifiers To improve the toughness and impact resistance of certain plastics, impact modifiers are added. These additives help prevent the material from cracking or breaking under stress. For example, in the production of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) plastics, impact modifiers enhance performance without significantly affecting other properties.
Coenzyme Q10, commonly known as CoQ10, is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in the body, primarily in the mitochondria. It plays a critical role in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of cells. As we age, our natural levels of CoQ10 diminish, leading to a decline in energy production and increased oxidative stress, which can contribute to various age-related health issues.
