Hard-Surface Cleaning. Products used Tor hard-surface cleaning around the home include the hand- and automatic dishwashing products, the liquid and powder floor and wall cleaners, and the abrasive scouring cleansers. 

Even more sophisticated formulas with hypochlorite, surfactant, and abrasive materials have now been defined for specialized applications like toilet bowl cleaners. In this area, the patent literature discloses a hard-surface abrasive scouring cleanser comprising sodium hypochlorite up to 15%, abrasive like silica sand or calcite up to 70%, smfactants like anionic (soap, sulfate, sulfonate) or nonionic (amine oxide) or their mixtures up to...

Accelerated silicosis is a clinical term applied to a condition with intermediate progression between that of alveolar proteinosis and chronic silicosis. It develops over a period of 5-10 years after heavy exposures to fine silica particles. The condition is progressive, even in the absence of further exposure, and is frecpiently fatal within 10 years of the first symptoms. This condition has been reported in shipyard sandblasters (14), jade workers (15), slate pencil workers (16), and following inhalation of abrasive scouring powder (17).

Nonwoven wipe categories include products for babies and adults, the food service and electronics industries, medical and clean room appHcations, industrial cleaning, computer diskettes, and household products such as dusters, tea towels, shoe cleaning cloths, towelettes, and hand towels. Nonwoven fabrics are used to filter air, water, petroleum (qv), food, and beverages. Nonwovens loaded with abrasives, cleansers, or finishes can be found in a variety of products used by many industries and in many homes to scour or poHsh. Also, a majority of garments designed to protect industrial workers and consumers from hazardous environments are made from nonwoven fabrics.

Silica, or silicon dioxide, occurs in various forms including chalcedony, which is a decorative material chert, which is used in abrasives flint, which is used in abrasives and ceramics jasper, which is used for decorative purposes quartz, which is a constituent of sand tripoli, which is found in scouring powders, polishers, and fillers cristobalite, which is used in high temperature casting and specialty ceramics diatomaceous earth, which is used in filtration processes and as a filler and finally, silica gel, which is used in dehydrating and drying. Note, however, that the material of concern is silica, and not silicates, which are relatively harmless derivatives of silica, nor silicones, synthetic materials used especially as lubricants. Neither silicates nor silicones cause proliferative conditions. 

Soap chips are made by running a thin sheet of melted soap onto a cool cylinder and scraping off the soaps in small broken pieces. Soap granules are dried miniature soap bubbles. Soap powders and scouring soaps contain some soap, a scouring agent (abrasive) such as powdered pumice or finely divided sand, and builders like sodium carbonate and trlsodlum phosphate. Builders make the soaps act more rapidly. The cleansing action of soap has been discussed in Unit 5. 

These are fine dental preparations used to help the scouring action to toothbrush mechanically. And, abrasion is defined as the wearing away of a substance or structure through a mechanical process, such as grinding, rubbing or scrapping. The abrasives is made into a paste and supplied in a tube. 

Abrasive cleaners arc used lo remove soils and stains from hard surfaces that are durable lo the scouring action. Such surfaces include stainless steel and porcelain plumbing fixtures, metal and ceramic cooking utensils, and various stone, metal, and ceramic building surfaces. Typically, these products consist of a very high level of abrasive (commonly silica flour) with moderate to low levels of a dry chlorine bleach (KDCC or chlorinaled trisodium phosphate) and low levels of surfactant (LAS) and builder (STP) for wetting action and improved stain removal...

Never use abrasive or scouring materials on plastic ware. Even though the bristles of a bottle brush are not likely to scratch plastic, the metal wire that they are wrapped on can Scratches can alter volumetric quality, are more difficult to clean, increase the surface area open to attack by chemicals (that would otherwise be safe for short exposures), and can prevent complete draining from a to deliver container. 

Some people use a green scouring square, found in the kitchen on their glassware. These are wonderful in scratching off dirt, contamination, glass, and porcelain. These should not be used in the kitchen or the laboratory. Any scrubber that is identified as Teflon safe should be used in either the kitchen or the laboratory. There is a yellow scouring pad from the Arden Corporation that is Teflon safe and that is particularly abrasive to dirt and leaves glass and porcelain untouched. 

There is a nonabrasive scouring cleaner on the market called Bon Ami . Most other cleansers contain silica as the abrasive agent. Bon Ami contains feldspar and calcium carbonate, which are softer than glass and therefore cannot scratch glass surfaces. 

Abrasion. Grit or vapor blast or 100-grit emery cloth followed by solvent degrease or scour with a nonchlorinated cleaner, rinse, and dry. 

A simple equation for ascertaining the relative cost of common sizes of screw conveyors is given as Formula 17, but the one for calculating the relative depreciation per year is complicated by the introduction of the depreciation factor necessarily entailed when the moving parts of the conveyor are in direct contact with the load in a manner which produces a destructive abrasive, or scouring, action.
