Forskolin is a chemical found in the roots of the plant Plectranthus barbatus (Coleus forskohlii). This plant has been used since ancient times to treat heart disorders such as high blood pressure and chest pain (angina), as well as respiratory disorders such as asthma.
Hydrocracking is a specific operation that takes a fraction of petroleum called gas oil which is heavy and cracks it into smaller molecules that are suitable for incorporation into gasoline, diesel, and jet, with an emphasis on the latter two.his occurs at high temperature with a very different set of catalysts than that used in either hydrotreating or hydrogenation processes. The hydrogen is used both as a mechanism to hydrogenate olefins and as a quench for temperature control.
This technique is particularly popular with the high-end sports car industry and is also frequently employed in the shaping of aluminium tubes for bicycle frames. Hydroforming is a specialized type of die forming that uses a high pressure hydraulic fluid to press room temperature working material into a die.To hydroform aluminum into a vehicle's frame rail, a hollow tube of aluminum is placed inside a negative mold that has the shape of the desired result.High pressure hydraulic pumps then inject fluid at very high pressure inside the aluminum tube which causes it to expand until it matches the mold.ydroformed parts can often be made with a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio and at a lower per unit cost than traditional stamped or stamped and welded parts. Virtually all metals capable of cold forming can be hydroformed, including aluminum, brass, carbon and stainless steel, copper, and high strength alloys.
