the process is called embalming. its the process where pharaohs and his helpers get ready for their afterlife. after their embalming is done, they get mummified. (its a real word.) its kind of sad, but the Egyptians kill the Pharaoh's animals, helpers, and families to help with the pharaoh in his afterlife. they even put in all of his personal stuff, jewelry, boats, and everything else that belongs to the pharaoh, gets put in his tomb. trust me, i just learned about it in school, so its fresh information. :)
Mummification, basically by removing all the water content of the body by removal of the soft internal tissues and burying the body in salts to desiccate the tissue before it was buried.
mummification
there is not a chemical but more like a sticky sap called resin that was used to embalm or preserve bodies of the wealthy & pharaohs
They used mummification to preserve the deseased body so that the soul was capable of moving on to the afterlife. The hot sand of the desert would dry out the body and the deseased wasn't able to make their way into the afterlife.Egyptians believed that the human soul was connected to their hearts. So they wanted to protect it and preserve the dead.

Natron is a salty chemical found near Cairo, Wadi-Natron, and south of Thebes. Egyptians used natron to embalm the body which took 70 days. Embalmers used natron to preserve the dead body and their organs. The bodies were placed in natron and embalmers packed the inside of the body with natron. This was to dry out the body and preserve it for the afterlife. Embalmers may have reused the natron. Ancient Egyptians had to preserve the body because they believed that if the body decayed the person's seven spirits would be lost forever and the spirit would never pass to the afterlife. Therefore, natron played an important role in the mummification process.

The preserved body was essential to the afterlife. The Ancient Egyptians believed that Life continued after they died and it was vital to have a body-in perfect condition- to continue living. Death was only the beginning for them. The Pharaohs spent their entire lives preparing for the next, hence their elaborate burials... Clearly, the thought they could take it all with them.
