Aluminum soaps

The greatest industrial consumption of monobasic aluminum acetate has been as a solution in the preparation of red color lakes for the dyeing of cotton. Formation of a water-resistant coating on fabrics, paper, leather, or other materials is also an important appHcation. In this process, for example, cloth is dipped into a solution of water-soluble soap, then into the aluminum salt solution, forming an insoluble, water-resistant aluminum soap coating on the fiber surfaces (10). 

Rolling oil tanks were corroded on surfaces contacting the emulsion. Small pitlike depressions were present beneath aluminum soap deposits. Each pit was surrounded by a lightly etched region exactly mirroring deposit patterns (Fig. 6.26). 

Ml Thickener A standard thickener known as Napalm. It is a mixed aluminum soap in which ca 50% of the org acids are derived from coconut oil, 25% from naphthenic acids 25% from oleic acid. When stirred into gasoline at a temp range from 16 to 29°C, Ml swells until the entire vol of gasoline becomes a more or less homogeneous gel [Ref TM3-215/AFM 355-7(Dec I963),p4ll...

The first reports on the drag reduction phenomenon are found in publications by Blatch (1906), Forrest (1931), as well as by Brautlecht (1933), who measured the flow behaviour of paper pulps. In independent studies made by Mysels (1949) and Toms (1948) this phenomenon was observed in the turbulent flow of gasoline in pipes when aluminum soaps were added and, in Toms experiments, when polymethylmethacrylate in monochlorobenzene was used. The reduction of friction is therefore often termed the Toms effect . This flow behaviour is also known in the literature as the Non-Newtonian- , visco-elastic- , Texas- or Texas-Toms-effect , due to the contributions made by Texan researchers. It is also more generally known, and this term will be used in this paper exclusively, as the drag-reduction effect of flow additives.

Commonly used repeUents for leather are sUicones, chrome complexes of long chain fatty acids, and fluorochemicals. Fluorochemical repeUents also provide repeUency to oUs and greases so that the treated leather resists staining. A water repeUent may also be a hydrophobic chemical insolubUized in the leather. A simple water-repeUent treatment consists of forming an aluminum soap in leather by the two-step process of applying a soap, and then an aluminum salt. 

Heavy-metal soaps (loosely called metallic soaps) are those formed by metals heavier than sodium (aluminum, calcium, cobalt, lead, and zinc). These soaps are not water soluble specific types are used in lubricating greases, gel thickeners, and in paints as driers and flatting agents. Napalm is an aluminum soap. See saponification detergent.
