Description

General description

EMPLURA^®

EMPLURA^® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.

Application

• Insights into the mechanism of the solvolysis of propylene oxide over titanium silicalite-1: a theoretical study.: This research offers a theoretical exploration of the solvolysis mechanisms of propylene oxide facilitated by titanium silicalite-1, contributing valuable insights into the catalytic processes involving similar volatile organic compounds (Qin et al., 2023).



• Measuring the quantity of harmful volatile organic compounds inhaled through masks.: This study evaluates the levels of harmful volatile organic compounds, including 1-methoxy-2-propanol, that are inhaled through various types of masks, highlighting the potential health risks and the effectiveness of masks in blocking organic vapors (Ryu and Kim, 2023).
