Union Carbide's Value

The images of this article are ads. They’re ads for a company called Union Carbide, which proudly promoted themselves through the 50s and 60s for the way their chemical plants and development projects were capable of transforming the world. They could bring pesticides to your community, kill the bugs and help you be self-sustaining as a culture, a promise they started in South America, and then made a big, active push to start doing in India.

These ads are now, absolutely unhinged to look at, not just in the 1960s put-your-whole-butt-into-the-project industrial futurism represented by the hands of a vast white man reshaping the world to his wants, but they become even more messed up when you understand what this company wound up doing, and who it wound up hurting, because of its choices.

Content Warning: I’m going to talk about the Union Carbide gas leak disaster in Bhopal, India. It is an incident in which a lot of people were exposed to a dangerous chemical that killed and injured a lot of them (a lot). I’m not going to go into grisly detail and I don’t intend to go in-depth on the process of the accident.

Spoiler Warning: The bad guy is capitalism, again.

In 1984, a pesticide plant built and maintained by a company called Union Carbide India Limited, which was, coincidentally, 50.9% owned by the American company Union Carbide and Carbon Corporation, suffered a catastrophic gas leak that released a chemical agent known as methyl isocyanate (MIC) over the towns around the plant.

This chemical is colourless but has a sharp, pungent odour, which is useful for detecting it as it creeps into your system. One of the things this chemical does that I didn’t know there was a term for was that it’s a lachrymatory agent, which if you recognise that word, you know it because it’s a thing cops throw at you. MIC is not the agent in tear gas, but it’s the same kind of thing that aggravates the eyes and tear ducts. This stuff is safe only up to a volume of .004 ppm, or ‘parts per million’ – a very small amount. You can’t smell it until it hits 5 ppm, at which point it’s gotten real dangerous in how it messes with your body, particularly your nerves.

Notably, MIC is heavier than air, meaning that it crept along the ground as it leaked from the plant, which just so happens to have made it really dangerous to anyone who was low down to the ground compared to standing up, such as children or people sleeping on or near the ground.

Union Carbide’s leak happened at night.

Bonus: It’s flammable.

Arranged around the Bhopal plant were a variety of towns that were made up of people who were there to work for the plant or serve the people who were working for the plant, and of course, their families, which included elders and children. The population around Bhopal was hard to precisely quantify (the central government not being one with a ton of perfect information), but the estimates put it at around 500,000 people living in these spaces who were exposed to the MIC.

Note: That’s not ‘how many people, total, were there.’ That’s how many people the estimates are confident were exposed.

This is one of the reasons why the Union Carbide gas leak in Bhopal is regarded as the worst industrial accident in history.

This is one of those stories that I feel are well-known if you know anything about it at all; you’re either a very normal person whose experience of massive national industrial disasters is about the things you’ve seen in the news or mentioned in other media, or you’re like me and you pay attention to podcasts or Youtube channels or books about how some things went catastrophically wrong somewhere or other, in a sequence of texts that seems to present the idea that maybe capitalism is just bad at taking care of people, weird, I’m sure there’s no particular reason for that.

When it comes to large-scale disasters, especially given its potential environmental impact and recent TV series bringing it back into focus, the general vibe is that Chernobyl was ‘one of the worst disasters in history.’ Which, make no mistake, Chernobyl is and remains one of the worst disasters in history, but it’s in a way we have a hard time measuring, because we tend to look at disasters in terms of their immediate deadly outcomes.

Wikipedia picks a range between 95 deaths and 4,000 deaths for Chernobyl, which is again, a simplification of its values. But in raw dead, we can point to Chernobyl killing about 4,000 people based on whatever pixies Wikipedia gets its information from. To contrast with that, the estimated dead from the Union Carbide leak in Bhopal starts at 3,787 dead, near the height of estimates for Chernobyl. When you look at the people individually impacted, Pripyat, the city by Chernobyl had a population of 49,000 people exposed to the potential harm of the reactor. The Bhopal gas leak impacted again, half a million people.

One really easy thing to point to is that Chernobyl happened in a Soviet state and the victims were white, while Bhopal is a very clear example of an American, capitalist company that messed up in a way that killed a lot of brown people. Make no mistake, the racism is part of it, and the normalcy of it too – after all, companies have accidents sometimes, oops, guess that’s just part of it.

When I wrote about Chernobyl I talked about how hard it was to properly consider the scale of the disaster because of the way actual immediate deaths were rare while an enormous number of people were heavily impacted by the disaster in ways that shortened their lives. Bhopal is kind of so much worse because also, yeah, a lot of people died, and also the land around the place was really permanently damaged, and the harm was so vast there was no way to really address it, and also because the harm was so vast, well what are you going to do about it, not like Union Carbide could fix the problem they caused with their negligence.

The system of systems in which we live is one where half a million people injured is an acceptable problem because once it’s happened, it can’t be addressed. Causing problems on such a vast scale is acceptable, because you can’t do the one thing that makes it right (which is give them money). It’s a vision of justice that is purchased, that all things in life can be measured and weighted in terms of their relationship to money. If they hurt enough people enough, then there’s no way they can reasonably make good on that, they can’t afford to pay it back, and so…

That’s just gotta be okay.

Maybe the government will help you.

This kind of externality is pretty normal under capitalism. In 1952, a weather event meant that the pollution that the city of London was generating settled down on the city for a few days, creating a severe weather event that killed somewhere between 10,000 to 12,000 people. Turns out that was just enough people dying that the government could make a good case for starting a set of laws to address that and make it so the air in London was livable, and it only took four more years to get that done.

Union Carbide is still around, you know. The company was acquired by Dow, because its stock price was hurt a lot by the disaster they caused in Bhopal (and the disaster they caused in West Virginia, and disaster they caused here in Australia over land damage). After the Union Carbide Gas Leak Disaster in Bhopal, they sold off brands they had to try and generate money, which includes Glad trash bags (which we use) and Eveready Batteries (which I’m sure I have some of in the house). They were bought out by Dow, for stock.

They were worth 11 billion dollars when they were bought, and now they exist as just a part of Dow. They made about 4 billion dollars in 2019, which is down overall. Turns out you just can’t make the same kind of profits as you could when you were able to cut enough corners that half a million people were exposed to your flammable tear gas leaks.

It’s enough to make you wonder how these systems can be captured, can be punished, can be made to address the violence they do. Is it right to murder a company? Is it right for the state to execute them? If the company isn’t responsible, what about the person in that company who made the choice? If they did so, knowingly, how many people is the threshold for your personal willingness to kill in the name of maximising profits?

About 5 million people a year die thanks to abnormal temperatures.

The Power Of Polymer: Unfolding The Magic Of Polyurethane Foam Production

INTRODUCTION:

In the dynamic and evolving world of polymer science, one name specifically stands out due to its versatility and vast applicability – Polyurethane. A byproduct of the mind-boggling chemical reaction between two liquid materials, polyurethane is a unique type of polymer that effectively transforms into a foam. This article endeavors to offer you a detailed look into the exciting world of polyurethane foam production

THE DYNAMIC DUO:

Polyurethane foam is produced when two chemically distinct liquid materials – commonly referred to as the “”A”” component and “”B”” component – are combined under specifically controlled conditions.

The “”A”” component, or Polymeric MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate), is a reactive isocyanate that boasts a relatively low viscosity level, enabling it to mix flawlessly with the “”B”” component. It has a brownish coloration and often exudes a slightly sweet smell.

Meanwhile, the “”B”” component, also known as Polyol, is a polyether compound that is generally less reactive than its “”A”” counterpart. It is characterized by a pale, almost transparent color and presents a tasteless, odorless profile.

POLYURETHANE PRODUCTION:

Let’s delve into the fascinating process through which these two distinct liquids join forces to produce the mighty polyurethane foam.

When combined, the polyether polyol and the polymeric MDI kickstart an exothermic chemical reaction that generates a considerable amount of heat. During this process, tiny gas bubbles are formed, which get trapped within the polymer structure, eventually giving rise to what we commonly recognize as foam. This intriguing process is commonly referred to as “”foaming.””

The reaction’s speed and the cell structure’s quality are heavily dependent on the specific quantities and properties of the A and B components. Manipulating these parameters allows for the production of a wide variety of foam types from rigid and semi-rigid to flexible. Additionally, various catalysts and surfactants can be added to control the cell structure’s size and distribution, as well as the reaction speed.

The transformation process from a liquid state to a solid, foamed state is surprisingly quick – often taking less than a few minutes. However, it’s noteworthy to mention that the foam continues to cure and reach its complete strength over the course of a few hours or even days.

APPLICATIONS OF POLYURETHANE FOAM:

The versatility of polyurethane foam is extraordinary. From furniture and bedding to automotive applications, thermal insulation in construction, and even in the footwear industry, polyurethane foam has spread its roots far and wide.

UNDERSTANDING THE SCIENCE:

The combination of a polyether polyol and a polymeric MDI generates not just heat but also a new product – urethane. Urethane forms strong, resilient bonds that contribute to the flexible, durable nature of the resultant foam. This is what makes polyurethane an excellent choice for various applications that require durability, flexibility, and excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties.

In conclusion, the creation of polyurethane foam from two liquid materials is a mesmerizing example of polymer formation, which encapsulates the dexterity and capability of synthetic chemistry. By manipulating the compounds’ properties and the conditions under which the reaction occurs, scientists and engineers have managed to expand the realms of possibility, thereby furthering the boundaries of modern industrial applications. Thus, polyurethane foam not only offers an excellent material for various purposes but also profoundly echoes the power and potential of polymer science.

Tek's Respirator FAQ for faceups & modding Ball Jointed Dolls

Copied from DenofAngels original posted date: Sep 21, 2010 Last edited by a moderator: Oct 10, 2016

Are you qualified to talk about this?

Yes. I [Tekenduis] am a Certified Respiratory Protection Tester/Trainer with extensive training in respiratory protection. I work at a company where my staff are exposed on a daily basis to some of the most harmful chemicals in industry. They can and will be exposed to things like silica, isocyanates and cyanide gas. Their short and long-term health is in my hands and I take that very seriously. Deadly seriously, in fact.

What is respiratory protection?

Respiratory protection is a part of your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to filter or block harmful substances from reaching your respiratory system. The hobbyists primary form of respiratory protection is the respirator. There are a great number of types of respirators, some useful only for certain applications (see more on this below). The two most common respirators for hobbyists are the disposable respirator and the half-face respirator.

The half-face respirator is a mask that covers your nose and mouth, and has cartridges that clip on, screw on, or otherwise attach to ports on the mask.

The disposable respirator looks like a dust mask or surgeon's mask. It is, as the name implies, made to be disposed of after a short period of time.

Why do I need it?

Many of the items that we work with as doll customizers are toxic and many of them are cumulatively toxic. You may feel ill for a while and then get better, but the sorts of diseases that can be caused by sanding processes and spraying processes can come back to haunt you many years down the road. These products can cause Cancer and Pneumoconiosis. Cancer may be treatable if caught early enough. Pneumoconiosis, which is respiratory diseases like asbestosis, silicosis and coalworker's "black lung" disease, is NOT TREATABLE. Your doctors will work hard to make you comfortable while you die. That is the most they will be able to do for you. If you get Pneumoconiosis you will DIE.

☠️ Are you scared? You should be. This is life and death. Do not play Russian Roulette with your health. ☠️

What do I need?

That depends on the application that you are going to be using your respiratory protection for.

Sanding

For sanding applications (including sanding of resin, apoxie and other sculpting materials, and wood), you need a respirator that provides at least N95 level protection. It should say N95 somewhere on the mask itself. If it doesn't say, it is not good enough. There is a scale to protection levels and anything above N95 is also acceptable (of course).

The levels are: N95 P95 N100 P100

What does this mean?

The prefix ahead of the number will tell you if the mask is Oil Proof or Not. The number will tell you the percentage effectiveness of the filter against particles of less than 0.3 Microns. An N100 or P100 filter may also be known as a HEPA filter. On the bright side, having a small supply of these types of respirators will mean that you are following CDC and WHO recommendations for infectious disease outbreaks, which may or may not include the Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse.

P100 filters are also effective in welding applications. N95 and above filters are most commonly found in the disposable variety and may also be referred to as "dust masks" or "surgical masks". Remember, if it doesn't say N95 (or one of the other codes listed above) it is not good enough!**

Spray

This includes all types of spray applications, whether you are spraying sealant (like MSC or Testors) or airbrushing or spraying paints. The process of spraying releases aerosols (and this is true whether or not you are using an aerosol spray can product. Airbrushing paint creates aerosols too!) for which an N95 filter is not effective.

At this point, you will need to move into a mask that protects you against Organic Vapors AND has an N95 filter. This will mean moving into a half-face respirator.

Your respirator is no longer disposable and can be used again and again without ill effect; the only thing that will need replacing is your filter and (if applicable) your prefilter. Some respirator brands have an N95 filter built right into the Organic Vapour cartridge, but I recommend looking for one that does not, for ease of replacement. Cartridges and filters have different life spans and it is more economical to replace only the part that requires replacing (more on this below!).

Okay! I've got my mask, I'm totally safe now right?

No. There are three things that can negatively impact the safety of your mask; poor fit, improper maintenance and environmental levels.

Poor Fit

A respirator (of any type) is completely and utterly useless if it is the wrong size for you and is not fitted properly. Please ensure you've read the section on fitting your mask to ensure that your mask is correctly fit.

How do I know if it fits?

According to my local Occupational Health and Safety Code, a respirator cannot legally be used in a workplace environment if it has not been correctly Fit Tested. Keep in mind that half-face respirators come in various sizes. Most women and men wear a medium but if you have a particularly slender or wide face, you may need a small or large. If you have a crooked nose, or sinus problems, look for a mask made of silicon; you will find it more comfortable than plastic or rubber.

Improper Maintenance

Your respirator is equally useless if you are not properly maintaining and caring for it. This includes care of the mask between uses and replacement. Please see the section on maintaining your mask for more information.

Environmental Levels

Environmental levels are important to take into account, as your mask can only protect you against the things it was designed to protect you against up to a certain concentration. since I'm sure none of us have the money or inclination to commit to environmental testing of our workspaces, the best way to ensure this is to make sure that the area in which you are working is properly ventilated before you start your project, and until well after you are finished. Open your windows, PREFERABLY PLEASE work outside so that there is fresh air circulating in the area you're working in. If the air is particularly still (no breeze) while you're working, it is worth investing in a simple fan. Set it up in your window, with the fan blowing out the window (ie: the front of the fan where the air blows from facing towards the window). This will help pull the toxins out of your room. Alternately, if you are working outdoors, set the fan up on your table to help promote air movement.

Fit Testing

Fit testing uses a noxious but harmless substance (usually either irritant smoke or Bitrex; an additive used to create bitterness in household cleaners to prevent children from tasting them) to ensure that the seal between the mask and the face is tight and proper. Qualitative fit testing is the most common type, and requires the user of the mask to confirm the presence of the noxious substance. In some cases (depending on chemicals in the environment or failure of the Qualitative test) Quantitative fit testing may be required; this type of fit testing uses scientific sensors to record levels inside the mask. If you have access to fit testing, especially with a half-face respirator, I encourage you to take advantage of it! Fit testing needs to be redone every two years, in the case of weight loss or gain of more than 15 lbs or in the case of surgery (including dental) involving the face.

And if I don't have access?

I have done hundreds of fit tests for staff at my place of employment and I can usually tell how well a mask is likely to fit prior to the fit test being done. This is done with a simple self test. In order to be effective this test must be done every single time you use the respirator (even if you pull it down to talk to someone and put it right back on!).

For Disposable

Step 1: Put your respirator on. Step 2: Cup your hands tightly over your mouth and nose, over top of the respirator. Step 3: Suck in a long breath. You will get air, but it should all be coming in through the small cracks between your fingers. You should not feel any air coming in from around the nose piece or under your chin. If you do, refit the mask and try again. If you cannot complete this successfully, you will need either a larger or smaller mask. Step 4: With your hands still over your mouth and nose, blow out. Again, you should feel the air moving past your fingers, and never around the bridge of your nose or under your chin.

For Half-Face

Step 1: Put on your mask and make sure the straps are tight. Step 2: Cover the cartridge, as much as possible, with the palm of your hands and suck in. The mask will likely deflate slightly. You should feel some air coming in through the cartridge but no air coming in from the sides, under your chin, or around your nose. If you do, adjust the mask and try again. If you cannot complete this step successfully, you will need either a smaller or larger mask. Step 3: Cover the exhalation valve of your respirator with the palm of your hand and blow out. You should feel the mask inflate slightly and again, you should feel no air escaping from the side of your mask, under your chin or around your nose.​

😷 How do I maintain my mask?

Respirator maintenance is exceptionally simple, takes very little time, and ensures that you are not exposing yourself to toxins. Take the extra few minutes to ensure that your respirator is working right!

Before you put it on

For Disposable

Do a quick visual check of the respirator. Is it dirty? A little discolouration from the dust is fine, but too much might mean that your respirator is clogged. I'll discuss this a bit further down. Check that your straps are still in good condition. Check that the foam piece at the nose is intact (if applicable) and that the metal part that bends across your nose is not bent out of shape. If your mask is clogged or not in good condition, replace it.

For Half-Face

Do a quick visual check of the inside and outside of your mask. Make sure that the valves (the little rubbery seals on the inhalation and exhalation points) are present and in good condition. Make sure there are no cracks or tears in your mask. Ensure that your filters are firmly attached. Correct any of these issues before proceeding with your work.

After you take it off

For disposable

Do another quick visual check of your mask. If everything is still in order, seal your mask inside a baggie and put it somewhere safe.

For Half-Face

Wipe all surfaces of the mask that touch your face with a respirator cleaning wipe. If you don't have any, use the following: For masks made of natural rubber, use a non-alcohol based antimicrobial wipe. For masks made of silicone or plastic, wipe with isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol, or rubbing alcohol). This step is less about the effectiveness of your mask and more about preventing build up of oils from the skin which can degrade the mask over time, necessitating replacement, as well as causing skin breakouts!

Seal your mask inside of a baggie or well-sealed (and clean!) coffee can and put it somewhere safe.

🧼 Once a month you should remove the cartridges and clean your mask with soap and water, and hang it up to dry. This keeps the inside of your mask smelling pleasant. Sweat and condensation from your breathing can build up in there over time and cause the mask to smell unpleasant.

🤔 How often do I need to replace my respirator, or cartridges?

Filters will only last so long! Keep in mind that whether or not you are actively breathing through your respirator (IE: wearing it) it is still filtering the air around you. The average Organic Vapour filter, which is what you should be wearing at the least for spraying, lasts approximately 24–48 hours. That's it! Not very long, right?

The good news is that you can extend the life of your filters dramatically by placing them into a sealed container, like a baggie or coffee can, as discussed in the section above. My staff generally see a lifetime of 1–2 weeks from their filters, and most staff are using their filters at least once a day.

💁 How do I know it's time to replace them?

For Disposable, N95 and above Your respirator is a simple filter made up of layer of material that filter out small particulates from the air. Eventually your respirator will become clogged and need to be replaced. This is not a matter of time, it is a matter of volume of filtering, something not easily tracked.

As a general rule of thumb, when your filter is ready to be replaced, you will know it because it will get harder to suck a good deep breath in. As soon as you start to feel this, replace your respirator. For Half-Face

Organic Vapour Cartridge – Because this is filtering vapours (or aerosols), you will know it is time to replace it the moment you smell or taste anything through the filters; even the tiniest bit. Throw them out and get new ones.

N95 Prefilter

Please see the explaination for disposables above, your prefilter works the same way. If your prefilter is built into your organic vapour cartridge, it is a matter of volume of filtering, something not easily tracked.

I've got this bandana/old respirator of my uncles/some other thing…

❌ Cloth is not an effective filter against either particulate or vapours. ❌

Your respirator needs to be yours. Quite aside from the obvious sanitation issues, if the respirator belongs to someone else, it may not fit correctly and is therefore ineffective.

You're just trying to scare us. No one actually gets sick from this. ☠️ ☠️

There are several people here on the [DenofAngels] forums that have stepped up to talk about the health problems that they have suffered as a result of exposure to chemicals in either this hobby or others.

NON ORIGINAL POST NOTE: Before you dismiss the risks involved please realize that even my friend, a professional artist has experienced the direct effects of long term exposure to harsh chemicals and resins for both film and personal BJD casting even when frequently taking proper protection.

🛍️ 🛒 Where do I get these things?

Disposable respirators are readily available in home improvement stores and pharmacies; just make sure you get one that says N95, or above, as discussed earlier. You can also refer to post #3 below for a Shopping Guide.

Half-face respirators are sometimes available in home improvement stores, but are also readily available from safety suppliers (many of which are open to the general public) and online.

🤢 I worked without my mask and now I'm not feeling well. Am I going to be okay?

This question is best discussed with your Doctor. My speciality is prevention, not treatment. I can tell you what results you may incur, but I cannot and will not attempt to diagnose your health, especially not over the internet.

New method for polyurethane synthesis using fluorine compound developed

Polyurethane is highly elastic, wear resistant and durable, and is used, for example, in cushions, fibers, thermal insulation materials, dyes, adhesives and automobile parts. Polyurethane is an industrially-important polymer material, with an estimated worldwide market value of 75 billion dollars. Most polyurethane is currently synthesized by means of reacting diisocyanate with diol. However, isocyanate compounds are highly toxic, and the tightening of regulations on the use of diisocyanate are progressing recently, particularly in the EU, because of health and environmental concerns. In recent years, active research is proceeding into the synthesis of polyurethane without using isocyanate compounds with a view to implementing a sustainable society. However, most current methods are not practicable because of the variety of problems associated with them: They have low utility as well as high environmental costs, and the quality of the derived polyurethane is low as well as being expensive.

Bhopal Gas Tragedy

No one can tell how many people died in the Bhopal Gas tragedy. All that the older generation remembers is a city strewn with corpses on that winter morning of cold December 1984. What they mistook for fog was toxic methyl isocyanate leaking from a pesticide factory in Bhopal. Over 5 lakh people were exposed to that gas. 40 tonnes of toxic gas. It was the world’s worst industrial disaster. Union Carbide India Limited owned by Warren Anderson. But the Bhopal factory, UCIL, was majority owned by Union Carbide Corporation, with Indian Government-controlled banks and the Indian public holding a 49.1 percent stake. In Bhopal probably tens of thousands died. America’s worst ever-industrial disaster was the Hawk’s Nest Tunnel disaster. That was also United Carbide Corporation’s. 1000 labourers died.

The estimated magnitude of disaster varies according to sources. More than 3,500 people died soon after. Authorities also say at least 15,000 people have died since the leak, although activists put the number at some 33,000. The official immediate death toll was 2,259.The government of Madhya Pradesh confirmed a total of 3,787 deaths related to the gas release. A government affidavit in 2006 stated that the leak caused 558,125 injuries, including 38,478 temporary partial injuries and approximately 3,900 severely and permanently disabling injuries. Others estimate that 8,000 died within two weeks, and another 8,000 or more have since died from gas-related diseases.

Five thousand deaths were quoted in the court case which the government itself revised to around 23,000. Over 5 lakh people were permanently disabled. Activists like N D Jayaprakash of the BGPSSS, have faced repression, arrests, denial of information and corruption to campaign against this fraud, where the numbers of affected were fudged and deaths arbitrarily counted. While the government claimed that only 3000 had died, the people’s organizations have proof of more than 20,000 dead and 5.7 lakh seriously injured.

Ten thousand people may have died immediately. Over the years may be 25,000 people would have died.

They never got punished. Civil and criminal cases were filed in the District Court of Bhopal, India. People of Bhopal never got justice. In June 2010, seven former employees, including the former UCIL chairman, were convicted in Bhopal of causing death by negligence and sentenced to two years imprisonment and a fine of about Rs. 1 lakh each.

Warren Anderson, the UCC CEO at the time of the disaster died, unpunished.

Union Carbide Corporation still exists bought over by Dow Chemicals now.

In 1989 Union Carbide paid around 47 crores as compensation to the victims. After that Dow says all its liabilities were resolved.They did not pay the money on their own. It was a Supreme Court ruling. They decided to settle at that money. The court decided to settle only on compensation, not punishment. Anderson had not shown up in Bhopal Court despite several summons through Interpol and is now dead, unpunished.

On This Day

The world's worst industrial disaster, the Bhopal Gas Tragedy took place in 1984. About 45 tons of an incredibly dangerous methyl isocyanate (C2H3NO) leaked out from an insecticide plant that was owned by Union Carbide Corporation - an American Firm. The toxic gas quickly spread to the densely populated areas around the plant. A total of approximately 15,000 - 20,000 people died from it and the remaining people who survived ended up suffering chronic respiratory diseases, eye irritation etc. After a thorough investigation, it was found that safety procedures in the plant was not properly adhered to - eventually leading to the aforementioned disaster. In the year 1998, the site was handed over to the State Government. Most recently in 2010, the Bhopal court convicted several former executives who worked for Union Carbide owing to the latter's negligence. In the wake of the 38th Anniversary of the Bhopal Tragedy Day, let us all remember the victims of this heinous Disaster - whose death had been caused by the negligence of a corporation.

MS polymer

MS Polymer, short for Modified Silane Polymer, represents a versatile and innovative class of hybrid sealants and adhesives that combine the best properties of traditional polyurethane (PU) and silicone products. Known for their exceptional bonding strength, flexibility, and resistance to weather and chemicals, MS Polymers have become a popular choice across various industries. This article will explore the composition, benefits, applications, and growing popularity of MS Polymer.

Composition of MS Polymer

MS Polymers are composed of silane-modified polyether or polyurethane backbones. The key innovation behind this hybrid technology is the combination of organic polymer chains with reactive silane groups, which provide outstanding adhesive and sealing properties. The unique chemistry enables MS Polymers to cure through moisture in the air, forming a highly durable elastomer that is flexible, strong, and resistant to environmental stress.

Benefits of MS Polymer

Environmentally Friendly: One of the standout features of MS Polymer is its eco-friendly nature. Unlike traditional PU or silicone products that may contain solvents or isocyanates, MS Polymer is solvent-free, making it a safer choice for users and the environment. It also has low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) content, meeting strict environmental regulations.

Excellent Adhesion: MS Polymers bond well to a wide range of substrates, including glass, metal, wood, plastics, and concrete, even without the need for a primer. This makes them highly versatile for various bonding and sealing tasks.

Flexibility and Durability: The cured material is highly flexible, allowing it to withstand movement and vibrations. This flexibility, combined with excellent durability, ensures that the adhesive can maintain its performance over time, even in challenging conditions.
