For almost every industry, chemical solutions are important for manufacturing their products. To make a great product, you need to start with the right chemicals and process them in the right way to end up with the intended results. No matter what you do, chances are your processes involve some chemical solution, and we are happy to provide you with all the information you need to get exactly what you want from them! Let’s look at some ways our chemical solutions can help improve your business’s efficiency today!
When To Use Chemical Solutions
Chemical formulations, also known as chemical solutions, can be used in different situations. For example, during pharmaceutical production or in analytical laboratories. The same solution can be used repeatedly; however, they might change depending on how they’re made or used. If you’re unsure what you should use or when it’s best to use a certain chemical formulation, don’t hesitate to call us! We provide Chemical Processing Services at applied chemistries and would love to assist with your next project!
Solutions at Hand
For an analytical laboratory, a chemical formulation is more than just a physical mixture; it’s an engineered solution. Solving chemical problems is at the core of what analytical laboratories do every day. For example, when an issue with contamination in a product or a batch has to be recalled, labs rely on their ability to formulate a chemical solution that solves their client’s problem—and allows them to keep making money from their equipment. Solutions range from small corrections to big-budget crises and can be as simple as adding extra washing steps into production or running additional tests on products before shipping out.
The Type of Solution You Need Depends on the Issue
Whether you’re considering adding a chemical process to your existing production line or planning to expand an existing facility, there’s more to a successful installation than simply ordering chemicals. Many factors can influence chemical processing, and if any of them aren’t carefully considered, you could end up causing even more problems rather than solving them. For example, what type of equipment do you need, how much space will it take up on your floor, and what chemicals will be used? These questions should all be answered before beginning installation.

The Value of Soap
Humans have been using soap to clean themselves and their clothes for millennia. The makeup soap chemicals also clean your car, eliminate odors, and keep your dishes clean. Chemical processing services can use chemicals to produce soaps and other surfactants in all shapes and sizes; they even help purify water, so it’s safe to drink! As you can see, chemical processing services don’t just make soap; they’re an important part of everyday life.
Alkaline Disinfectants
Chemical disinfectants aren’t only used to kill germs and bacteria and can also change a solution’s pH or acidity. These chemicals will make your water more alkaline (pH 9-12), making it ideal for cleaning and preserving. An alkaline solution will also make biological and chemical agents less effective, making it great for preventing rust and corrosion. There are countless ways to use these chemicals in your home, but they all have one thing in common: creating an environment that is safe from germs. What better way to keep your family healthy than with a preventative measure?
Acidic Disinfectants
When disinfecting, you need an acidic product with a pH of less than 7. A standard neutral liquid disinfectant typically has a pH between 7 and 8. That might not sound like much of a difference, but those few points can make the difference in killing bacteria or virus cells on contact. For example, bleach has a pH as low as 12, while Clorox is slightly higher at 11. You’ll want to look for acidic disinfectants in either spray or wipe forms – such as Lysol Spray’ n Wash or Clorox Wipes; then apply them to hard surfaces often throughout your day.
Bactericidal and Fungicidal Disinfectants
Disinfectants kill or inhibit (slow down) microorganisms. Some disinfectants work well against bacteria, and some work well against fungi. You might want to make sure your disinfectant kills bacteria and fungi if you don’t want your cleaning solution to become a breeding ground for potentially harmful molds, mildews, and yeasts. If you want to know more about disinfectants and how they work, read up on their specific mechanisms of action; you might find one more effective than another at combating a certain type of microorganism in its respective environmental niche. For example, bleach works best in an alkaline environment (pH greater than 7), which makes it better suited for use on hard surfaces like bathroom tiles.
Microbicidal (Virucidal, Fungistatic) Disinfectants/Sanitizers
Microbicidal disinfectants or sanitizers eliminate microbes from hard, nonporous surfaces. Microbes include bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. Microbicidal means that these products are effective against certain microorganisms under certain conditions; in many cases, they will not be as effective as an antibacterial or antiseptic handwash. Some state and local regulations require that all health care personnel wash their hands with microbicidal soap after contacting patients and before providing direct patient care. Because different microorganisms need different concentrations of a disinfectant to be killed, selecting a product with a high enough concentration of active ingredient (commonly referred to as percent active) for specific organisms of concern is essential.
Conclusion
It is important to remember that not all chemicals in your home or commercial building have been tested and proven safe for human use. While some household products have a clear purpose, we cannot know exactly what they’re made of; many chemicals aren’t even listed on their packaging labels. Many people also take multiple medications daily, exposing themselves to myriad harmful substances daily. Choosing cleaner options can help reduce exposure levels and alleviate symptoms of various health conditions caused by pollution. For more information about chemical safety, call us today! We’re happy to give you more details about these chemicals and how they affect our everyday lives.
