Both are precursors of certain eicosanoids that are known to reduce inflammation throughout the human body, and are thought to have many health benefits. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are thought to be beneficial in treating hypertriglyceridemia, and possibly beneficial in preventing heart disease. Fish oil has numerous practical applications for the primary care physician. Understanding the diverse clinical research of Ω-3 fatty acids and fish oil is important in determining its role in primary care practices. Fish oil is used as a component in aquaculture feed. More than 50 percent of the world’s fish oil used in aquaculture feed is fed to farmed salmon.

Applications

TCC’s Fish Oil is used for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. One gram of fish oil has shown to reduce overall and cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. Higher doses may be used for its potent triglyceride-lowering effects and for patients with rheumatoid arthritis to reduce inflammation. Ω-3 fatty acid supplementation of infant formula has shown benefit in infant neural growth and development. With the potential health benefits of fish, women of childbearing age should be encouraged to eat 1 to 2 low-mercury fish meals per week. Fish oil has numerous practical applications for the primary care physician. Understanding the diverse clinical research of Ω-3 fatty acids and fish oil is important in determining its role in primary care practices. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are thought to be beneficial in treating hypertriglyceridemia, and possibly beneficial in preventing heart disease. Fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids are being studied in a wide variety of other conditions, such as clinical depression, anxiety, cancer, and macular degeneration. Results of these studies are not yet conclusive. Fish oil is also used as a component in aquaculture feed. More than 50 percent of the world’s fish oil used in aquaculture feed is fed to farmed salmon.

The chemical is also used as a pigment dispersing agent and acid/mercaptan scavenging agent as well as an epoxy reactive diluent. Soybean oil is one of the most readily available and lower-cost vegetable oils in the world. ESO is industrially available in large volume at a relatively low price. Due to its low cost non-toxic and environmentally friendly properties, as well as its biodegradability over traditional phthalate plasticizers, ESO is replacing dioctyl phthalate (DOP) in some applications. TCC’s epoxidized soybean oil is also used as a pigment dispersing agent and acid/mercaptan scavenging agent as well as an epoxy reactive diluent. epoxidized soybean oil and other epoxide substances are used as raw materials for various applications that include functional fluids, fuel additives, polyol replacements, agricultural and pharmaceutical molecules, flavor and fragrances, reactive diluents and UV cure applications, surfactants, adhesives, sealants, coatings, and special inks.

Dibutyl phthalate does not polymerize when added to PVC and allows for PVC molecules to slide along one another without tangling. The ability to avoid the polymers from becoming entangled will increase the flexibility of the PVC, making it more suitable for a number of applications. Vinyl fabrics and raincoats are examples of how Dibutyl phthalate will increase the flexibility of PVC. Dibutyl phthalate is entirely composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen making it ideal for combustion reactions. Dibutyl phthalate is used as a stabilizer within solid rocket propellant as Dibutyl phthalate readily contributes molecules to sustain the combustion reaction at elevated temperatures.

It is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that has been used for centuries for its therapeutic and medicinal benefits. Most of the benefits of castor oil are believed to derive from its high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids. Although castor oil has a strong and rather unpleasant taste, it is used in cosmetics, soaps, textiles, medicines, massage oils and many other everyday products.

Applications

TCC’s Castor Oil is the raw material for the production of a number of chemicals, notably sebacic acid, undecylenic acid, and nylon-11. The production of lithium grease consumes a significant amount of castor oil. Castor oil is also widely used as a bio-based polyol in the polyurethane industry. In the food industry, food grade castor oil is used in food additives, flavorings, candy, chocolate, as a mold inhibitor, and in packaging. Polyoxyethylated castor oil is widely used in the food industry. Castor oil has numerous applications in transportation, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries. It is used in the manufacture of adhesives, brake fluids, caulks, dyes, electrical liquid dielectrics, humectants, hydraulic fluids, inks, lacquers, leather treatments, lubricating greases, machining oils, paints, pigments, polyurethane adhesives, refrigeration lubricants, sealants, textiles, washing powders, and waxes. Castor oil, like currently less expensive vegetable oils, can be used as feedstock in the production of biodiesel. The resulting fuel is superior for cold winters.

Calcium nitrate is obtained by treating limestone with weak nitric acid. It is also formed during the absorption of nitrogen oxide by milk of lime. Calcium Nitrate is also used in wastewater treatment, as a component in the manufacture of concrete, for medicinal purposes in cooling baths, and to store energy in solar power plants.  

Applications

TCC’s Calcium Nitrate is mainly used as a nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture and is produced in granulated form. It is also used in wastewater pre-conditioning for odor emission prevention, and in set accelerating concrete admixtures. The dissolution of anhydrous calcium nitrate is highly endothermic. For this reason, calcium nitrate is sometimes used for regeneratable cold packs. Calcium Nitrate together with potassium and sodium nitrate is used to absorb and store energy in concentrated solar power plants. It can be used as a heat transfer fluid instead of thermal oil.
