Acid value

In chemistry, acid value (AV, acid number, neutralization number or acidity) is a number used to quantify the acidity of a given chemical substance.

See Castor wax and Acid value

Capacitor

In electrical engineering, a capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy by accumulating electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other.

See Castor wax and Capacitor

Castor oil

Castor oil is a vegetable oil pressed from castor beans. Castor wax and castor oil are castor oil plant.

See Castor wax and Castor oil

Catalysis

Catalysis is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst.

See Castor wax and Catalysis

Cosmetics

Cosmetics are composed of mixtures of chemical compounds derived from either natural sources or synthetically created ones.

See Castor wax and Cosmetics

Encaustic painting

Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, is a form of painting that involves a heated wax medium to which colored pigments have been added.

See Castor wax and Encaustic painting

Hydrogenation

Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen (H2) and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel, palladium or platinum.

See Castor wax and Hydrogenation

Iodine value

In chemistry, the iodine value (IV; also iodine absorption value, iodine number or iodine index) is the mass of iodine in grams that is consumed by 100 grams of a chemical substance.

See Castor wax and Iodine value

Lubrication

Lubrication is the process or technique of using a lubricant to reduce friction and wear and tear in a contact between two surfaces.

See Castor wax and Lubrication

Melting point

The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid.

See Castor wax and Melting point

Nickel

Nickel is a chemical element; it has symbol Ni and atomic number 28.

See Castor wax and Nickel

Oil

An oil is any nonpolar chemical substance that is composed primarily of hydrocarbons and is hydrophobic (does not mix with water) and lipophilic (mixes with other oils).

See Castor wax and Oil

Petrochemical

Petrochemicals (sometimes abbreviated as petchems) are the chemical products obtained from petroleum by refining.

See Castor wax and Petrochemical

ResearchGate

ResearchGate is a European commercial social networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers, ask and answer questions, and find collaborators.

See Castor wax and ResearchGate

Saponification value

Saponification value or saponification number (SV or SN) represents the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) required to saponify one gram of fat under the conditions specified.

See Castor wax and Saponification value

Saturated and unsaturated compounds

A saturated compound is a chemical compound (or ion) that resists addition reactions, such as hydrogenation, oxidative addition, and binding of a Lewis base.

See Castor wax and Saturated and unsaturated compounds

Wax

Waxes are a diverse class of organic compounds that are lipophilic, malleable solids near ambient temperatures. Castor wax and Wax are Waxes.
