Testosterone enanthate

Testosterone enanthate, also known as testosterone heptanoate, is a long-acting injectable ester of testosterone used in replacement therapy; first approved in the United States in 1953.

Testosterone propionate

Testosterone propionate is a short-acting injectable testosterone ester that was the first in routine clinical use, standard from the late 1930s until longer-acting esters displaced it.

Testosterone undecanoate

Testosterone undecanoate, also known as Andriol, Nebido, and Aveed, is a long-acting testosterone ester used as hormone replacement therapy in hypogonadism, given orally or as an injection every 10 to 12 weeks.

Tetraethyl orthosilicate

Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), also called tetraethoxysilane or ethyl silicate, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a faint alcohol-like odor, and the main precursor for making silica by sol-gel.

Trenbolone

Trenbolone is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid used as a growth promoter in beef cattle, typically given as trenbolone acetate ear implants, and banned in human sports by WADA.

Trenbolone acetate

Trenbolone acetate (TBA), sold under names including Finaplix and Revalor, is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid used almost entirely in veterinary medicine as a cattle ear implant.

Triacetin

Triacetin, also called glyceryl triacetate, is the simplest short-chain triglyceride, a colorless, oily, water-soluble liquid used as a plasticizer for cigarette filters, a pharmaceutical excipient, and a food additive.

Tricresyl phosphate

Tricresyl phosphate, also called tritolyl phosphate or TCP, is an organophosphate ester used as a flame retardant, plasticizer, and lubricant additive, best known for the delayed paralysis caused by its ortho isomers.

Triethyl citrate

Triethyl citrate (TEC) is the triethyl ester of citric acid, a colorless, odorless oily liquid used as a food additive (E1505), plasticizer, solvent, and fragrance fixative, and recognized as safe.

Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate

Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) is a low-viscosity dimethacrylate monomer with two methacrylate end groups, used chiefly as a reactive diluent in dental resin composites and adhesives.

Triolein

Triolein, also called glyceryl trioleate, is the triglyceride formed from glycerol and three oleic acid chains, and is the most abundant triacylglycerol in olive oil.

Tylosin

Tylosin, also known as Tylan, is a macrolide antibiotic produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces fradiae, discovered in 1959 and used almost exclusively in veterinary medicine.

Umbelliferone

Umbelliferone, also called 7-hydroxycoumarin, is a naturally occurring coumarin found widely in plants such as carrots, used in sunscreens and fluorescent sensors and studied for anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects.

Unsaturated polyester resin

Unsaturated polyester resin is a thermosetting material made of an unsaturated polyester dissolved in a reactive monomer, usually styrene, and cured by free-radical crosslinking; it dominates composites as coatings and matrices.

Vinyl acetate

Vinyl acetate, also known as vinyl acetate monomer or VAM, is a clear, flammable liquid produced in large volumes and used almost entirely as a monomer for polymers like polyvinyl acetate.

Wax

A wax is a lipid-like solid, malleable near room temperature and water-repellent; strictly an ester of a long-chain fatty acid and alcohol, industrially also hydrocarbon mixtures like paraffin.
