Zinc is a bluish-white metal which has an extremely shinny surface. Zinc is abundantly found in the earth's crust. The process of extracting zinc from its ore was invented in India. Zinc does not occur as a free metal in the earth's crust. Some of the most important zinc ores are zinc spar, zinc carbonate, smithsonite, zinc blend, zinc sulfide, zincite and zinc oxide among others. Zinc is neither malleable nor ductile at room temperature. However, at temperature above 100oC zinc exhibits slight malleable properties. Zinc has a melting point at 419.5oC and has its boiling point at 908oC. The density of zinc metal is approximately 7.14 grams per cubic centimeter.

Xanthan, popularly known as xanthan gum, a polysaccharide synthesized and secreted by a bacterium, Xanthomonas campestris, is commonly used as a rheology modifier and food additive. It performs the function of a thickening agent in food such as, salad dressings, and a stabilizing agent in cosmetics and personal care products It s also used in oil and drilling operations for lubricating, fracking and viscosity modifying applications. Xanthan gum consists of repeating units of five carbon ring structures (Pentasaccharides), containing glucuronic acid, mannose, and glucose (in molar ratio 2:2:1). Xanthan gum is manufactured by fermentation of sugars such as lactose, sucrose or glucose. After fermentation, the polysaccharide formed is extracted through precipitation from a nutrition/growth medium by adding isopropyl alcohol, drying and then grounding the extract into fine powder. Xanthan gum is formed by adding the powdered polysaccharide into a liquid medium.

A data center is a facility of computer systems that houses the data and applications that are critical for the success of any business organization. The green data center is a concept whereby cost savings are realized on the operation and maintenance of data centers. It includes implementation of advanced technologies such as economizers for cooling, resulting in maximum efficiency, and minimum environmental impact. Reduced e-waste and recycling, low emissions, and use of alternative energy technologies are some of the other benefits of green data centers. IT, Telecom and BFSI are some of the key industries where green data centers are prominent. The growth in these industries is expected to affect the green data center market positively since these industries have high data storage requirements.

The global market for disposable gloves is primarily driven by the growing healthcare industry and increasing awareness of hygiene among patients as well as healthcare providers. Disposable gloves have served the medical sector effectively in terms of safety, hygiene and cost-effectiveness. However, volatile raw material prices and currency fluctuations may hamper the market growth. With rubber and nitrile latex accounting for 50 to 60% of the total cost of production, managing volatility in rubber prices is an important part of a glove maker's business strategy. In addition, the growth potential of the healthcare industry, especially in Asia Pacific, along with the demand for nitrile gloves is expected to be an opportunity for the market in the coming years.

Chelating agents are high performance chemical substances which are used to prevent the deleterious effects of metal ions for household and industrial applications. Certain chelating agents such as APCA, gluconates and organophosphonates are used for direct treatment of metal poisoning as they bind the toxic metal ions more strongly than the vulnerable components of the living organisms.

The global chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) market is expected to reach USD 1.7 billion by 2015, due to prevalent cancer related conditions and subsequent increase in the CINV pool.
