Phenohc resins are produced by the condensation of phenol or a substituted phenol, such as cresol, with formaldehyde. These low cost resins have been produced commercially for more than 100 years and in the 1990s are produced by more than 40 companies in the United States. They are employed as adhesives in the plywood industry and in numerous under-the-hood appHcations in the automotive industry. Because of the cycHc nature of the automotive and home building industry, the consumption of phenol for the production of phenohc resins is subject to cycHc swings greater than that of the economy as a whole. 

Iron Oxide Yellows. From a chemical point of view, synthetic iron oxide yellows, also known as iron gelbs, are based on the iron(III) oxide—hydroxide, a-FeO(OH), known as goethite. Color varies from light yellows to dark buffs and is primarily determined by particle size, which is usually between 0.1 and 0.8 p.m. Because of their resistance to alkahes, these are used by the building industry to color cement. Thermally, iron oxide yellows are stable up to 177°C above this temperature they dehydrate to iron(III) oxide ... 

Loose asbestos fibers, or formulations containing asbestos fibers for spray coatings, have been widely used in the building industry for fire protection and heat or sound insulation. Such applications used mainly chrysotile or amosite but, because of health concerns, this practice has been discontinued. 

In the building industry there was much emphasis in the early 1960s on the allplastics house although the raw material suppliers who sponsored their design probably thought of them primarily as publicity exercises. As the plastics industry has matured it has been realised that it is better to emphasise those applications where plastics are preferable to traditional materials and this... 

The second largest market is that of profiles, particularly for the building industry. UPVC has become well established for guttering, waste piping and conduits, where economies arise not just in basic product costs but also in transportation and installation costs. Unlike with cast iron products, corrosion and maintenance is less of a problem, although UPVC products are more liable... 

Whilst conventional polycarbonate based on bis-phenol A is essentially linear, branched polymers have recently been introduced. These materials have flow properties and a melt stability that makes them particularly suitable for large (20 litre) water and milk containers. Branched polymers have also been used in the manufacture of twin-walled sheet for the building industry. 

The RTV rubbers find use in the building industry for caulking and in the electrical industry for encapsulation. It also provides a useful casting material for craft work. Perhaps most important of all it provides a method for producing rubbery products with the simplest of equipment and can frequently solve a problem where only a small number of articles are required.

There is a tendency in the building industry, for expediency, to issue a Practical Completion Certificate subject to a list of defects. Very often, this is done in order to see the end of the main works. 

It is not possible to detail all the many different types of insulation used in production, service and building industries. The following attempts to give a summary of the composition, properties and major areas of use of a representative range of insulation types. 

Lead sheet is used in the building industry throughout continental Europe and to a lesser extent Australia, but hardly at all in the USA. Other aspects of lead consumption follow the same general trends worldwide. 

P.V.C. is used extensively in the building industry for external cladding and internal partitions. It is used because it has excellent weathering properties and will protect the substrate against corrosion for periods in excess of 10 years. When it is applied at a thicknesses of about 200 /tm it can withstand the hard handling techniques often associated with building sites. 

Breakdown in communications between the building industry and plastic manufacturer probably accounts for a large amount of lost motion and dollars. Perhaps another major cause is the pure sales approach within any industry that, in many cases, can delay technical progress. 

The applications of a-sulfo fatty acid esters are widely spread as for other surfactants. They can be used in detergents, cleansers, and cosmetic products as well as in the building industry and for the production of synthetic materials and agrochemicals. The main properties for these applications are surface activity, wetting ability, hard water stability, lime soap dispersion power, and good human and environmental safety profiles.

Rubber-like materials now superseding the traditional mastics and putties used in the building industry. Such sealants (also termed mastics) are based on butyl rubber, liquid polysulphides, silicone rubbers, polybutylene, nitrile rubbers and plasticised vinyl polymers. SEBS... 

Therefore, the use of plastics will increase and not diminish. One need only think of the importance attaching to heat insulation in the building industry for saving valuable energy, or of the automotive industry, where plastics can help to trim vehicle weight and thus save energy. There are so many... 

Japan, South Korea and China, today the countries with the most extensive new ship building industry, have not yet implemented registration schemes for AF products but legislative initiatives are on the way and the coming into force of legislation analogous with e.g. the European BPD is envisaged within near future. 

The only but important engineering application for PVB is as an interlayer film between two glass plies to manufacture safety glass for the automobile and building industries.
