Quartzite

== Description ==
A metamorphic rock composed of quartz grains along with other minerals such as hematite, phengite, and chlorite. Quartzite is commonly found throughout the world. It is usually white, pink or red in color but can be found in other colors, such as yellow, green, blue or orange. Quartzite is a semitransparent stone that resembles marble, although it is harder and does not effervesce in acid. Quartzite breaks unevenly with a clean angular fracture and is very resistant to weathering. Since prehistoric times it was used to make tools. Presently, natural quartzite is used as a decorative stone in flooring, walls and countertops, and crushed quartzite is used for making brick, abrasives, and road rubble. Dyed quartzite has been used to replicate several types of gemstones. Sedimentary quartzite is generally called siliceous sandstone to distinguish it from the metamorphic stone.
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==
arenite sandstone; siliceous sandstone; cuarcita (Esp.); quartzite (Fr.); quartzito (Port.); Quarzit (Deut.); kwartsiet (Ned.)

Quaternary ammonium disinfectant

== Description ==
A series of surface-active, odorless, antiseptic compounds that are widely used as a Disinfectants in Detergents.

These surfactant agents have reduced effectiveness in solutions containing hard water, salts, or organic compounds. Some examples include: 
* alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride or benzalkonium chloride (Preventol R50, R80 R90 [Bayer], Hymaine 3500 [Rohm & Haas], Neo-desogen [Ciba Geigy]; 
* benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium chloride or cetalkonium chloride (Cetol);

However, the extract is low in salts and acids and is usually mixed with alum, salt, chestnut, hemlock, and/or sumac. Quebracho tannin is the most important vegetable tanning agent used in the American leather industry (Lewis, 1993).

Quinacridone dye

== Description ==
A series of synthetic red and violet dyes composed of linear quinacridones that are made from terephthalic acid. Quinacridone dyes can exist in four crystalline allotropes, two of which are sold as red and violet pigments. Although synthesized in 1896, quinacridone colors were first recognized as useful pigments by W. Struve at DuPont in 1955 and marketed in 1958 under the name Monastral. These lightfast colorants are used in paints, printing inks, and plastics.
