Barium Sulphate is an inorganic compound that is white crystalline solid which is odorless as well as insoluble in water. Barium sulphate does not have any toxic effect on the humans as well as on the environment. Barite is the most essential commercial source of barium and other compounds comprising barium. The high density and white opaque appearance of the barium sulphate are the crucial factors that are exploited in its various major applications. Barium sulphate finds various applications as the drilling fluids, paper brightener, pigments, radio-contrast agent and as catalyst support.

Biodegradable packaging provides natural and easily degradable protection when used mainly for the presentation and packaging of the products from the moment the production process begins until the product is administered or consumed. Biodegradable packaging significantly differs from the conventional non-biodegradable packaging. Biodegradable packaging degrades easily and quickly and thus, usually does not require the help of an external catalyst for degradation. Biodegradable products are usually land filled than that compared to that of the non-biodegradable conventional products. Depending on the choice of the materials used in the manufacturing of biodegradable packaging the properties, consumer attributes and appearance of the product packaging varies. Biodegradable packaging sector is a small segment which represents a merger percentage of the packaging industry. The global biodegradable packaging has now moved on towards more advanced and efficient packaging. A decade ago, biodegradable packaging was not known to have any real significance. However, recently biodegradable packaging has become an integral part of the global packaging market. The rising consumer awareness towards biodegradable packaging has led to the tremendous growth of the overall market.

Agar is a gelatinous substance that is usually extracted from algae. Agar is derived from polysaccharideagarose, which is a crucial supporting structure in the cell walls of the specific species of algae. Polysaccharide agarose is easily released from the algal cell walls on boiling. Agar is mainly extracted from the algae which are known as agarophytes which belongs to the Rhodophyta (red algae) phylum. In chemical terms agar is a polymer that is formed from the subunits of galactose.Agar is the mixture that is resulted from two crucial biochemicals which includes the agaropectin and agarose. For the commercial purpose agar is primarily manufactured from Gelidiumamansii which is an economically important species of red algae. Gelidiumamansii which is an essential raw material for manufacturing agar is mainly found in the shallow coast of many eastern and southwestern countries of Asia.

Agricultural adjuvant are used to enhance the effectiveness of pesticides such as herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and other agents that are used to control or eliminate the unwanted pests. Adjuvant plays a crucial role in improving the efficiency of agrochemical and also for increasing the yield or productivity of the crop. Agricultural adjuvant includes ammonium fertilizers, surfactants and oils.

Glutaraldehyde is an organic compound widely used as disinfectant and as preservative. It is a colorless and slimy liquid, commonly available in aqueous solution. Glutaraldehyde solutions commonly contain about 1% to 2% glutaraldehyde in it. Glutaraldehyde is usually manufactured industrially by oxidizing cyclopentane or by reacting methyl vinyl ether and acrolein followed by hydrolysis of the compound. The chemical is used in different applications but its primary application is as a disinfectant or cold sterilant for medical dental and surgical equipments.

Chloromethane, which is also known as methyl chloride, is a group of organic compounds. It is a toxic, colorless chemical compound which has a mildly sweet odor and is highly flammable. Chloromethane is naturally produced by the effect of sunlight on biomass and chlorine present in sea foam. Commercially, chloromethane is manufactured by the chemical reaction between hydrogen chloride and methanol. Traditionally, chloromethane was widely used as a refrigerant. However, owing to its high toxicity levels, the use of this chemical has been banned in consumer products. Presently, it is used as a chemical intermediate to manufacture derivative products such as chloroform, methylene chloride and carbon tetrachloride. In addition, it is used in the manufacture of silicone.

Chloroprene is a colorless liquid which is used as a monomer to produce polymer polychloroprene. Polychloroprene is a type of synthetic rubber. The main attributes of this synthetic rubber are high elasticity, solvent resistance, heat resistance, perspiration, adhesion to different substrates and weather aging. Chloroprene rubber derives demand from a host of end use industries such as rubber industry, and adhesive industry. Chloroprene rubber is also used to manufacture dipped articles such as gloves, to improve bitumen quality and to manufacture molded foam.
