Alfa Chemistry's team of experienced scientists and engineers were on hand to provide attendees with information on the company's offerings, as well as to engage in discussions on the latest advancements and challenges in the field of chemistry. “We were delighted to have the opportunity to connect with so many of our customers and colleagues a...

The Characteristics of Diamond Materials Diamond is a special material with extreme properties in mechanical, thermal, optical, chemical, electrical, etc ., just to name a few here. l  Mechanical properties: Diamond is currently the hardest substance on earth, with a Mohs hardness of 10. Diamond hardness is directional, and its hardness is ordered from high to low as octahedral crystal faces, rhombohedral dodecahedral crystal faces, and hexahedral crystal faces. In addition, diamond has a small friction coefficient and has extremely high anti-wear ability. l  Electrical properties: Diamond has an ultra-wide band gap, ultra-high breakdown field strength, and high electron and hole mobility. l  Acoustic properties: Diamond has the highest surface acoustic wave velocity and extremely high Young's modulus among all materials. l  Optical properties: Diamond can transmit photons with energy smaller than the band gap from far infrared to ultraviolet. l  Thermal propert...

Alfa Chemistry , a leading pharmaceutical supplier, has recently announced the addition of three new API s to its full-ranged  product catalog , i.e., tofacitinib citrate, tamoxifen citrate, and epalrestat. The se  new products  are introduced  to meet the growing demands of the pharmaceutical market. Tofacitinib Citrate Tofacitinib Citrate is a medication used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. It works by suppressing the immune system and reducing inflammation in the body. Tofacitinib Citrate is a selective inhibitor of Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes, which play a key role in immune response and inflammatory signaling.   Alfa Chemistry  offers tofacitinib citrate   as active pharmaceutical ingredients in various purities and quantities to meet the specific requirements of different research projects. The product is manufactured using advanced technology and under strict quality control procedures to ensure its saf...

Earlier this month, Alfa Chemistry unveiled a new product line of colloidal materials for scientists engaged in relevant research providing customers across the globe with easy access to comprehensive colloidal materials, including: colloidal catalysts, colloidal nanoparticles, hydrocolloids, and colloidal silica.   "Colloids have unique electrical, optical, magnetic, and biological properties that large-scale materials do not possess, and therefore are widely used in the agriculture, biomedicine, energy, environment, and chemical industries," said the Marketing Chief of Alfa Chemistry. "Established nearly 20 years ago, our Colloidal Materials Division is capable of developing and supplying a large number of flexible and innovative colloids."   Colloidal Catalysts Colloidal catalysts  are advantageous in terms of their stability and recyclability. As an expert in catalysis, Alfa Chemistry has developed a number of catalytic synthesis technologies and can provide cus...

Flame retardants are indispensable in transportation, electrical and electronic equipment, furniture, and building material in order to prevent fires and safeguard people's lives and property. The New York-based chemical supplier, Alfa Chemistry, has recently expanded its business scope into the field of flame retardant materials, offering a wide variety of related products, including: halogen-based flame retardants , phosphorus-based flame retardants, inorganic flame retardants, and more.   "While sparing no effort to keep enriching our product catalog for flame retardants, we realize that innovating and developing flame retardant technologies are also important if we aim to extend the use of these innovative, cost-effective flame retardants and smoke suppressants to the broader industries," said the Marketing Chief of Alfa Chemistry.   Currently, flame retardant performance analysis and innovative flame retardant design are two major solutions to which Alfa Chemistry...

Since its commercial use in 2015, although liquid crystal displays equipped with quantum dot technology have significantly improved in display color gamut and rendering effects, their popularity is far below expectations. On the one hand, the maturity of quantum dot technology is not good, and the stability and cost of products are relatively high; on the other hand, the price of models using quantum dot display technology is relatively high, which hinders the popularization of technology. With the introduction and popularization of Mini-LEDs with smaller LED light-emitting crystals, quantum dot technology will quickly become the standard choice for  liquid crystal displays. In the next three years, the demand for quantum dot optical film and quantum dot diffusion plate is expected to  explode.   Improving display effect and reducing system cost is an eternal trend for  display technology. The improvement of the stability of the quantum dot itself is the biggest fact...

How Do Ion Exchange Resins Work? l  Structure Ion exchange resins  are composed of three parts: the insoluble three-dimensional space network polymer skeleton, the ion functional group connected to the skeleton, and the exchangeable ion pore with opposite charges on the functional group. Polymer skeleton: It is composed of cross-linked polymers, such as cross-linked polystyrene, polyacrylic acid, etc . Ion exchange group: It is connected to the polymer skeleton and has ionic functional groups with exchangeable ions, such as -SO 3 Na, -COOH, -N(CH 3 ) 3 Cl, etc. , or polar non-ionic functional groups, such as -N(CH 3 ) 2 , -N(CH 3 )H, etc . Pore: It is the pore in the polymer structure (gel pore) and the pore (capillary pore) between the polymer structures that exist in both dry and wet ion exchange resins. l  Working Principle The principle of ion exchange resin is the process that ion exchange resin removes the salt in the solution. Cation exchange resin  principle:...
