Chelants take on new roles

Article Abstract:

The chelating agents industry is growing at the rate of 2.5% to 3% annually. Chelants, which includes such established products as ethylenediaminetriacetate, are responsible for capturing metals that can cause corrosion or damage to both products and equipment. The industry, which is now over 60 years old, has also developed products that offers both multifunctionality and improved biodegradeability.

Heat-transfer fluids specialize

Article Abstract:

Heat-transfer fluids can now be designed to meet the requirements of a specific system. The industry, which has been growing at about 2% to 3% annually in Europe and the US, is increasingly becoming customer-driven. The increasingly sophisticated uses for heat-transfer fluids have resulted in the availability of products that offers not only greater thermal stability but are also less toxic and are capable of performing well at extreme ranges of temperature.

Novel techniques improve drug delivery

Article Abstract:

Novel drug-delivery devices are being used more frequently than traditional needle-based syringes. Such drug-delivery devices as transdermal patches, implants and needle-free injectors that rely on electrical pulses and ultrasound to boost permeation accounted for $10 billion per year in global sales of novel drug-delivery devices in 1995. Investment bank SBC Warburg Dillon Read is predicting that global sales of novel drug-delivery devices will triple by 2000.
