Another significant advantage is the modification of processing characteristics. Fillers can improve the flow properties of polymers during manufacturing processes such as extrusion or injection molding, allowing for more efficient production methods and reducing energy consumption.
Boiler chemicals serve multiple purposes, primarily aimed at treating water and maintaining the integrity of the boiler system. Common chemicals include water treatment chemicals, corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, and pH adjusters. Each type of chemical plays a specific role in preventing issues such as scaling, which can decrease heat transfer efficiency, and corrosion, which can lead to leaks and system failures.
