Isocyanates are highly reactive chemicals containing functional group isocyanate. On the basis of number of isocyanate group, isocyanates are classified as diisocyanate and polyisocyanate. Diisocyanate are chemical compounds with two isocyanate group such as methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate and naphthalene diisocyanate. Polyisocyanate contain multiple isocyanate groups and are derived from diisocyanates. HDI isocyanurate and HDI biuret are among major types of polyisocyanate.

In vitro diagnostics are the vital tools in health care systems as they provide crucial information for making right medical decisions. The information revealed through these technologies helps physicians in successful management of medical conditions in every stage. Prevalence of infectious diseases such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), tuberculosis, measles, dengue, Chagas, cholera, and malaria is increasing across the globe with high prevalence in developing countries. There have been advances in the in vitro diagnostics which have enabled paradigm shift from laboratory testing to point of care testing which is helping in expansion of infectious diseases IVD market.

Hand hygiene is the act of keeping one's hands clean with water, soap, or other related substance to remove soil, dirt and microorganisms. There are high importance of hand hygiene for health of individual and community. It is relevant in all establishments such as home, workplace and schools however the significance of hand hygiene is far above the ground in hospitals or other healthcare related setup. Hand washing helps to prevent many airborne diseases such as measles, influenza, tuberculosis and chickenpox. At the same time high protection against diseases transmitted through fecal-oral route and direct physical contact can be ensured by it. Hand hygiene in any setup includes different products such as soap and detergents, hand antiseptic and antiseptic rubs by various techniques similar to washing, rubbing and drying.

Image guided surgery makes use of preoperative images to precisely guide surgical instruments by correlating the operative field. The image guidance systems also help in seamless procedure planning, thus reducing chances of error and also minimizing procedure time. With image guided systems, overall productivity is increased and being minimally invasive, allows quick recovery and shorter hospital stay. The technique was initially developed for neurosurgeries, which is one of the most critical procedures. ENT surgeries still remain the main area of application of image guided surgery systems. Major indications where image guided surgery can be performed are sinus surgery, and treatment of diseases which critical areas of cerebrum where chances of error must be minimum. Oncology is a major area of application of image guided surgery, where various methods are tried and tested for efficient treatment. With the development of technology and optimization of procedures, image guided surgery is expected to be the main stay for neurological surgeries, especially in treatment of brain tumor.

Nanoclays are naturally occurring or chemically synthesized inorganic minerals. They are clay minerals optimized to be used as nanocomposites. Nanoclays are used as adhesives for polymers to improve its thermal, mechanical, flame resistance and barrier properties. End user industries of nanoclays include aerospace & aviation, flame retardant, automotive, cosmetics & toiletries, biomaterials, medical, packaging, dyes and pigments and paints & coatings among others.

Sulfur dioxide is a chemical compound having formula SO2. At standard atmosphere, sulfur dioxide is a toxic gas and has a pungent, irritating and rotten odor. Sulfur dioxide is released naturally in the atmosphere by volcanic activity. Sulfur dioxide is primarily manufactured for producing sulfuric acid. Apart from the production of sulfuric acid, sulfur dioxide is used as a preservative, in winemaking, as a reducing agent, biochemical and biomedical applications, as a reagent and as a solvent in laboratories. The growing demand from chemicals manufacturing industry is predicted to drive the global sulfur dioxide market in the next few years.

No industry is devoid of risk and the Oil and Gas industry is not an exception either. Companies invested in the business of oil and gas face their own unique set of risks, be it natural, manmade or inherent in their daily operations. Risk management solutions for the oil and gas business vary in general with the environment of business, the stakeholders and the nature of operations.

Water trading is a voluntary transfer of certain quantity of water between the buyer and the seller, so that the buyer of water can satisfy the demand at its end. It is a solution for all the verticals of end users that need water. Therefore, water trading serves as a solution for different users such as urban and agricultural that provides equal price and allocates water according to the demand. As quoted by the Forbes, there are many projects which have done hundreds of transactions of water worth USD 10 trillion across the globe. It has also identified several water projects and programs such as Water Quality Trading (WQT), Payments for Watershed Services (PWS), Dar es Salaam, Heredia, Saltillo and many others on global basis. Apart from these projects, there are other flow restoration or ground water mitigation projects as well.

Sodium dichromate is the most important chromium compound that is used industrially, Sodium dichromate is the beginning material for any chromium compounds in manufactured synthetically. The compound, either directly or indirectly acts as an intermediate step for these chromium compounds used industrially. The demand for chromium compounds had witnessed gradual erosion owing to the environmental threats of chromium. However the demand has recently improved owing to huge demand from the Asia Pacific countries. The compound’s indispensability in manufacturing of different chromium containing compounds augurs well for the sodium dichromate market.

Web conferencing or webinar is a type of RTC (real-time communications). In web conferencing several computer users with Internet connection can see similar screen in their Web browsers. It is a service that permits conferencing events to be shared with the remote locations. Web conferencing can also be referred as online workshops interactive conferences. This service uses Internet technologies, mainly on TCP/IP connections. Web conferencing allows multicast communications and real-time communications (point-to-point) from one sender to multiple receivers. It provides data streams of voice, text-based messages, and video chat to be shared across dispersed locations. This service permits users to execute seminars and business meetings, presentations, demonstrations among others. It also offer direct customer support and provide online education.
