Tablets as a form of food supplement is obtained by compressing
a mixture of active ingredients with excipients.
Detergents
Detergents are cleaning products ,
widely used both in households and
industry . We divide them into soaps
and synthetic detergents which do not
contain soap.
Detergent soap
The first known and used detergent soap was
invented in the Middle East more than 5,000 years
ago . At the beginning it was used mainly for
washing clothes, and washing of wounds. It was
only in the 11th century N.E. They began to use
soap to wash themselves .
Fritz Gunther
Although the production of soap has a long history , is
the first synthetic detergent appeared only in 1916 ,
created by the German chemist Fritz Gunther .
Since that time, they created a wide variety of synthetic
detergents with different properties , adapted to clean
various items.
Where are chemical sites located - and why?
The sitting of many of the world’s major
chemical companies may seem random or
puzzling. In fact there are very good reasons
for the choice of sites, reasons which also
reflect the industrial and consumer
landscape of the day.
The main centers in Poland for the
chemical industry are Szczecin,
Suwalki, Warsaw , etc.
Environmental regulations
There are serious concerns about the potential impact of certain manufactured
chemicals on living organisms, including ourselves, and on the natural
environment. These concerns include air, land and sea pollution, global warming
and climate change, ozone depletion of the upper atmosphere and acid rain.
The chemical industry has a world-wide initiative entitled Responsible Care. It
began in Canada in 1984 and is practiced now in over 60 countries.
Society of Chemical Industry
The Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) is a learned
society set up in 1881 "to further the application of
chemistry and related sciences for the public benefit".
Its purpose is "Promoting the commercial application
of science for the benefit of society" and provides an
international forum where science meets business on
independent, impartial ground. Since being founded
in 1881, the society has expanded and diversified to
cover a range of interest areas, such as food and
agriculture, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology,
environmental science and safety.
