Soapberries can act as industrial emulsifiers, moistening agents, or foaming agents, and thus can be used as ingredients in multiple products for hygiene purposes.
22.
In particular, chlorofluorocarbons, which are widely used as refrigerants in air-conditioners, as plastic foaming agents and in many other applications, are believed to be responsible.
23.
Crude MCHM is a chemical foaming agent utilized in the processing of coal at coal preparation plants to remove impurities that contribute to pollution during combustion.
24.
Powdered titanium hydride is used as a foaming agent in the production of metal foams, as it decomposes to form hydrogen gas and titanium at elevated temperatures.
25.
In addition to fabric softening chemicals, fabric softeners may include acids or bases to maintain optimal pH for absorption, silicone-based anti-foaming agents, emulsion stabilizers, fragrances, and colors.
26.
ZrH 2 is used in powder metallurgy, as a hydrogenation catalyst, and as a reducing agent, vacuum tube getter, and a foaming agent in production of metal foams.
27.
It is polymer-based, likely 11-16 % polyisobutyl-methacrylate and 0.5 to 4 % sorbitan trioleate dissolved in a solvent that evaporates in the air and acts as a foaming agent.
28.
In Pavillion, Wyoming, the EPA discovered traces of methane and foaming agents in several water wells near a gas rig, though it suggested these chemicals might have come from cleaning products.
29.
Hydrazine is mainly used as a foaming agent in preparing polymer foams, but significant applications also include its uses as a rocket fuels and to prepare the gas precursors used in air bags.
30.
Freons have been used for many years as refrigerant gases in refrigerators and air conditioners, as foaming agents in plastic, as insulators, as solvents for cleaning computer components and in many other applications.
