Chemical substance

A chemical substance is a unique form of matter with constant chemical composition and characteristic properties.

See Chemical tanker and Chemical substance

Epoxy

Epoxy is the family of basic components or cured end products of epoxy resins.

See Chemical tanker and Epoxy

An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume of a given amount of matter associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases.

See Chemical tanker and Explosion

Inert gas

An inert gas is a gas that does not readily undergo chemical reactions with other chemical substances and therefore does not readily form chemical compounds.

See Chemical tanker and Inert gas

List of tankers

This is a list of tankers.

Maritime transport

Maritime transport (or ocean transport) or more generally waterborne transport, is the transport of people (passengers) or goods (cargo) via waterways.

See Chemical tanker and Maritime transport

MARPOL 73/78

The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 as modified by the Protocol of 1978, or "MARPOL 73/78" (short for "marine pollution") is one of the most important international marine environmental conventions.

Methanol

Methanol (also called methyl alcohol and wood spirit, amongst other names) is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated as MeOH).

See Chemical tanker and Methanol

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (Kabushiki-gaisha Shōsen Mitsui; abbreviated MOL) is a Japanese transport company headquartered in Toranomon, Minato, Tokyo, Japan.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry, also known as the oil industry or the oil patch, includes the global processes of exploration, extraction, refining, transportation (often by oil tankers and pipelines), and marketing of petroleum products.

Phosphoric acid

Phosphoric acid (orthophosphoric acid, monophosphoric acid or phosphoric(V) acid) is a colorless, odorless phosphorus-containing solid, and inorganic compound with the chemical formula.

See Chemical tanker and Phosphoric acid

Sodium hydroxide

Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the formula.

See Chemical tanker and Sodium hydroxide

Stolt-Nielsen

Stolt-Nielsen Limited (SNL) provides transportation and storage for liquids, notably specialty and bulk liquid chemicals.

See Chemical tanker and Stolt-Nielsen

Sulfuric acid

Sulfuric acid (American spelling and the preferred IUPAC name) or sulphuric acid (Commonwealth spelling), known in antiquity as oil of vitriol, is a mineral acid composed of the elements sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen, with the molecular formula.

See Chemical tanker and Sulfuric acid

Tallow

Tallow is a rendered form of beef or mutton suet, primarily made up of triglycerides.

See Chemical tanker and Tallow

Tanker (ship)

A tanker (or tank ship or tankship) is a ship designed to transport or store liquids or gases in bulk. Chemical tanker and tanker (ship) are ship types.

See Chemical tanker and Tanker (ship)

Viscosity

The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate.
