Platinum catalysts are used to convert methyl alcohol vapors (CH4O) into formaldehyde (CH2O) on contact, glowing red hot in the process. This effect is used to make small hand warmers. Platinum is also used in a device called a catalytic converter, a device found in the exhaust systems of most cars. Catalytic converters combine carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned fuel from a car's exhaust with oxygen from the air, forming carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). Platinum is also used as a catalyst in the production of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and in the cracking of petroleum products. Fuel cells, devices that combine hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity and water, also use platinum as a catalyst.

Polyester film and nomex laminate is a three-layer flexible laminate in which nomex paper is bonded to the two sides of polyester film. It is an insulating material. It has high mechanical strength, excellent electrical property, and good heat-proof functions. It is suitable for electrical motors as slot liner and turn-to-turn insulation.

Polymer Modified Asphalt is a cold-applied liquid waterproofing system. Polymer modified asphalt is superior to coal tar modified polyurethane in elasticity, crack-spanning ability, rescalability but inferior in resistance to chemicals. Polymer-modified asphalt roofing materials are used in single-ply roofing or in built-up roofing systems. Polymer-modified asphalt is bonded to fiberglass or polyester reinforcing to form sheets of roofing membrane.

Polymerization catalyst is fundamental to the production of polyolefins, including polyethylene and polypropylene. In fact, final polymer product properties are determined via the catalyst system and further optimized by the specific polypropylene process. It is a catalyst for bulk polymerization or vapor phase polymerization, which has a high catalytic activity in bulk polymerization or vapor phase polymerization. When it is used in the presence of a small amount of hydrogen, gives an olefin polymer having excellent melt flowability and stereo regularity.

Polyvinyl alcohol is a water-soluble synthetic polymer. It is the major protective colloid used in PVA adhesives. The properties of the adhesive are strongly influenced by the properties and concentration of the polyvinyl alcohol used in the preparation, or added during compounding. It can be manufactured by acid or alkaline hydrolysis or methanolysis of polyvinyl acetate. It is marked according to its degree of hydrolysis from the parent polyvinyl acetate, and also its solution viscosity.

Powdered Tumbling Compound has burnishing capabilities. It is used in vibratory, conventional barrel or new high speed mass finishing operations especially effective on zinc. It is a medium foaming compound and environmentally friendly.

Pretzel salt is a large-grained salt that does not melt quickly. It is a bright white, big-grained, non-melting salt. It is ideal for soft pretzels, salt bagels, or focaccia.

Proppants are spherical ceramic beads, about the size of a grain of sand, that are fired at a high temperature and are able to maintain their integrity under immense pressure. It is inserted into hydraulically created underground fractures surrounding oil and gas wells to prop open fractures and increase the productivity of the wells.

Propylparaben is a propyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. It is a preservative typically found in many water-based cosmetics, such as creams and lotions and some bath products. A preservative derived from PABA that is widely used in cosmetics. Its fungicidal and antibacterial abilities help prevent yeast and mold. Nontoxic and nonirritating at .05 of 1 percent.
