The market for industrial greases, especially synthetic and semi-synthetic oil-based industrial grease have high demand in the market posing high competition among manufacturers and distributors.

Drywall is also known as plasterboard or wallboard. Drywall is a panel made of gypsum plaster between two thick sheets of paper. Drywall is generally used to make interior walls and ceilings. On the other hand, building plaster is used for coating walls and ceilings. Plaster is manufactured as a dry powder and is mixed with water to form a paste when used. Drywall construction became prevalent as a speedier alternative to traditional plasters.

Biopesticides are certain types of pesticides that are derived from natural materials such as plants, animals, bacteria and minerals. Biopesticides are beneficial for environmental and ecological chain for crop protection. Biopesticides are used to control pests, pathogens, insects, weeds, and other microorganisms. Various biopesticides includes insect pheromones, plant growth regulators, insect growth regulators, microbial pesticides, bacterial biopesticides, fungal biopesticides and viral biopesticides. Biopesticides are generally used to improve the yield and quality of the crops under challenging conditions. It promotes the crop health and by increasing their salability. Biopesticides are usually less toxic substance than the conventional pesticides. Oil seed crops and field crops are some of the emerging crop segments for biopesticides, which is expected to further boost the biopesticides market in future period.

Superabsorbent polymers also known as SAPs are polymers (polymers are large molecule or macromolecule which is composed of many repeated subunits such as polystyrene or natural biopolymers (DNA and proteins) these substances are fundamental to biological structure and function) that can absorb and retain extremely large amounts of a liquid compared to their own mass. Polymers (natural and synthetic) are created by the process of polymerization of many small molecules such as monomers (molecule that can chemically bind two or more molecules to form a polymer). Superabsorbent has the ability to absorb water is due to the property of ionic concentration of the aqueous solution. Water-absorbing polymers known as hydrogels, which when cross-linked absorb aqueous solutions through hydrogen bonding with water molecules.

Cancer molecular biomarker refers to a natural occurring molecule or gene in the living organism that is an indicator for the presence of cancer in the body. Biomarker is a measurable indicator of biological process, condition or a disease and can be found in blood, tissues or other body fluids. Cancer molecular biomarkers help to diagnose cancer, and check the patient's response for treatment and certain cancer therapies. On the basis of diagnostics, cancer molecular biomarkers can be segmented into immunoassays, immunohistochemical (IHC) tests, genetic and genomic markers, proteomics, flow cytometry, stem cell markers, monoclonal antibodies, pharmacogenomics, DNA microarrays and IVD multivariate index assays (IVDMIA). On the basis of discovery, cancer molecular biomarkers can be segmented into genetic methods, protein methods and imaging. Genetic methods include DNA arrays, southern blot, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Protein methods include immunohistochemistry (IHC) and mass spectrometry (MS). Imaging methods include positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), x-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and biophotonics.

Cancer is a disease of genes which are caused due to abnormal growth of cells. These abnormal cells further migrate from the original site to other site through blood and lymph system. Lung cancer is one of the types of cancer formed in tissues of the lungs. Lung cancer is a malignant lung carcinoma characterized by abnormal cell growth in lung tissue. Lung cancer decreases the lung ability to provide oxygen to bloodstream. Some of the major symptoms of lung cancer include body mucus, coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, appetite loss, weight loss and chest pain. Cigarette smoking is the prominent cause of lung cancer. Pipe and cigar smoking are some other causes of lung cancer. Lung cancer is treated through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy and vaccine therapy. The primary lung carcinomas originate from epithelial cells. Non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer and lung carcinoid tumor are three different types of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer and it grows slowly compared to other type of lung cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma are subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is also known as oat cell cancer and comprises small cell carcinoma and combined small cell carcinoma. Lung carcinoid tumors are uncommon type of tumor which begins in lungs and are made up of neuroendocrine cells. Some of the drugs used to treat non-small cell lung cancer include avastin, gemzar, taxotere and tarceva.

Medical imaging is a process of creation of high quality of image for the diagnosis of various diseases. Medical imaging technologies assist by medical specialists and practitioners in the diagnostics of diseases by providing actual and visual picture of the structure and function of organs. Various techniques available for medical imaging include x-ray, computed radiography (CR), computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, MRI, endoscopy, positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). X ray technology includes analog and digital x-ray. Oral x-ray machines refer to the x-ray machines that are used for medical imaging via buccal cavity. Oral x-ray machines have applications in various end users such as hospitals, freestanding clinics, equipment leasing companies and others. An x-ray is a form of electromagnetic ionizing radiation which is produced using x-ray machines. It is one of the best diagnostic imaging techniques with the help of which high-resolution images detailing the internal structures of a human body, particularly highlighting the bones are obtained. X-ray facilitates in early diagnosis of a disease or serious medical injury. Their extremely short wavelength properties give them the viability to penetrate materials that reflect or absorb ordinary light. Rise in imaging population and patients with chronic diseases are the two major drivers of the x-ray market growth. Oral x-ray machines involve radiographic technique for imaging. Various applications for oral x-ray machines include diagnostic applications, therapeutic applications, cosmetic applications and forensic applications.

Electricity has emerged as an essential part of human life. Electricity supports various phenomenons such as lightning, electromagnetic induction and electrical current. Electricity generation is the process of generating electricity for the use in commercial and residential buildings. Generally, electricity is generated at electric power station through the use of electromechanical generators. There are various other methods which are used to create electricity. Methods such as static electricity (uses physical separation and transport of charge), electromagnetic induction (transformation of kinetic energy into electricity through the use of generator), electrochemistry (transformation of chemical energy into electric energy), photovoltaic effect (transformation of light into electricity), thermoelectric effect (conversion of temperature difference into electricity), piezoelectric effect (generation of electricity from electrically anisotropic molecules) and nuclear transformation (acceleration of charged particles creates electricity). Electric generator is a device which is used to generate electricity by converting mechanical energy (combination of potential energy and kinetic energy) to electrical energy for use in an electric circuit.

Butadiene is a colorless, non-corrosive gas with mild aromatic or gasoline-like odor. Butadiene is a simple conjugated diene and is a flammable gas. Butadiene vapor pressure is 2100 mmHg at 25 °C and the explosive limits are 2-11.5%. Butadiene is slightly soluble in water (735 mg/liter) and is soluble in a number of organic solvents such as diethyl ether, ethanol, benzene, acetone and polar and nonpolar organic solvents. The butadiene can be extracted from C4 hydrocarbons, dehydrogenation of n-butane, ethanol and butenes. The butadiene can be extracted from crude C4, a product from the steam cracker. A hydrocarbon used as feed in the production of butadiene determines the quantity of butadiene. Light feeds, such as ethane produce ethylene when cracked. On the other hand, heavier feeds produced the heavier olefins, butadiene, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Butadiene can also be extracted by the catalytic dehydrogenation of normal butane (n-butane). Butadiene from n-butane is commercially produced using the Houdry catadiene process, which was developed during World War II. Butadiene is also produced from ethanol. Smaller-capacity plants use ethanol for the production of butadiene due to the lower capital cost associated with it in comparison to others. 1,3-Butadiene can also be produced by catalytic dehydrogenation of normal butenes. This method was also used by the United States Synthetic Rubber Program (USSRP) during World War II. The process was much more economical than the alcohol route but competed with aviation gasoline for available butene molecules. The USSRP constructed several plants in Baton Rouge and Lake Charles, Los Angeles; Houston, Baytown, and Port Neches, Texas; and Torrance, California. Butadiene is a raw material that can be used to produce synthetic rubber. The tire industry is one of the main consumers of butadiene. Other applications for butadiene include plastics production and paper chemicals.
