Inventions. WD-40 Company and Product History. In 1953, a fledgling company called Rocket Chemical Company and its staff of three set out to create a line of rust-prevention solvents and degreasers for use in the aerospace industry, in a small lab in San Diego, California. It took them 40 attempts to get the water displacing formula worked out. But they must have been really good, because the original secret formula for ®—which stands for Water Displacement perfected on the 40th try—is still in use today. Convair, an aerospace contractor, first used to protect the outer skin of the Atlas Missile from rust and corrosion. The product actually worked so well that several employees snuck some cans out of the plant to use at home. A few years following 's first industrial use, Rocket Chemical Company founder Norm Larsen experimented with putting into aerosol cans, reasoning that consumers might find a use for the product at home as some of the employees had.
The product made its first appearance on store shelves in San Diego in 1958. PaperMill | Liberty_Carton. New York Underground. How is Dry Ice Made by Continental Carbonic.

Make Glow Sticks - The Science. We show how to make glow sticks and go through all the chemicals needed as well as how to make different colors.
We also talk about the chemistry and scientifically research a proposed mechanism. To make the glow stick mix together the following: 10mL Diethyl Phthalate (solvent) 3mg of fluorescent dye (see below) 50mg TCPO (see below) 100mg sodium acetate 3mL 30% hydrogen peroxide (add last to start reaction) The fluorescent dye can be 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene for green, Rubrene for yellow, 9,10-diphenylanthracene for blue, and rhodamine B for red. TCPO is expensive to buy but can be made for much cheaper by following the directions in our previous video: The chemicals, including the ones to make TCPO were purchased from alfa aesar: The Rhodamine B and Rubrene dyes were instead purchased from sigma Aldrich: The dyes and TCPO are carcinogenic and gloves should be worn when handling them.
