Pesticides have two main components, namely, the active ingredient(s) and the inert ingredient(s). The active ingredient is the one that gives a pesticide its pesticidal action and is called the technical
grade of a pesticide.
A pesticide is rarely
applied in its pure form. It is usually
formulated by adding inert ingredients
that improve storage, handling, application, effectiveness or safety. The inert
ingredient does not have any pesticidal
action.
Pesticides are first manufactured
as technical grade product, which has
85% or more of the active chemical
ingredients. The active ingredients are
then mixed with inert ingredients (solvents, adjuvant and fillers) to achieve
the desired formulation. The active ingredient kills the pest, whereas the inert
ingredient facilitates ease of handling,
spraying and coating on plants.( Source Chemical weekly)

What is Biotechnology( i am trying to keep it very simple)
•Biotechnology is the study and manipulation of living things or their component molecules, cells, tissues, or organs for the benefit of humans (or other animals).
Example -
1Recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology
2Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
3Cloning
4Fermentation
5The creation of
(a)Insulin to treat diabetes
(b)Proteases (enzymes used to remove stains from clothing)
(C)Antibodies (for recognizing and fighting certain diseases
(D)Selective Breeding (dog breeds, flowers, fruits)
(E)Pharmaceutical drugs
•Cellular manipulation products (growing human ears on mice

Prakash pipes
1- MCAP of around 300 Cr with net debt free
2- it’s having two segments PVC pipes and flexible packaging
3- Demerged from Prakash industries so no long term data available
4- flexible packaging division is 3 yrs old only and few q back it became EBITDA positiv
5- PVC pipes and fittings segment- total capacity is 60000 MTPA and by 2022 capacity will be enhanced to 65000 MTPA
6 - Flexible packaging division capacity is 14400 MTPA which will be enhanced to 19200 MTPA by 2022
7- Recently entered in high growth segment of CPVC pipes
8- Good ROE and ROCE

9- CPVC segment is having better margins and CPVC segment is more organised ( 80% organised players ) then PVC pipes ( 50% market share of organised players)so margins will be better with commencement of this segments ( right now OPM 12-16%)

Epichlorohydrin is a compound used to produce epoxy resins. Its main applications include corrosion protection coatings in the industrial, automotive, and packaging industries and as composites used in the aerospace and wind mill industries.
Meghmani signed agreement with TechnipFMC for its EPICEROL technology in 2019 to produce epichlorohydrin from glycerin, a renewable feedstock derived from natural sources.
EPICEROL is the most sustainable ECH process in terms of CO2 emission.Compared to a fossil route, it allows a ten-fold reduction in water consumption, a 50% reduction in the consumption of non-renewable resources and a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.

How are solar panels made ( All Copy paste )
Solar photovoltaics are made with a number of parts, the most important of which are silicon cells. Silicon, is a nonmetal with conductive properties that give it the ability to convert sunlight into electricity.
When light interacts with a silicon cell, it causes electrons to be set into motion, which initiates a flow of electricity. This is known as the “photovoltaic effect.”However, silicon cells alone can’t provide electricity for your home
They are paired with a metal casing and wiring, which allow the solar cell’s electrons to escape and supply useful power. Silicon comes in a number of different cell structures: single cell (monocrystalline), polycrystalline or amorphous forms,
