Construction textiles

BASF is a chemical manufacturing company that operates production facilities in 38 countries, owns 159 subsidiaries and serves customers in more than 170 countries. Around 22% of BASF sales are made to North American industries. The firm operates in five business segments chemicals plastics performance products agricultural products and nutrition and oil and gas. The chemicals segment manufactures over 1,500 inorganic, petrochemical and intermediate chemicals for the pharmaceutical, construction, textile and automotive industries. The plastics segment primarily manufactures polystyrene, styrenics and...

Chapter 5 discusses in detail the current application of recycled PET. In particular, the applications of recycled PET are discussed in the fields of food packaging, construction, textile industry, injection moulding and other manufacturing processes, wood-plastic composites and so on. On the other hand. Chapter 6 describes the optical properties of polyolefins upon recycling. Optical properties of different plastics play a key role in packaging applications, so this chapter primarily focuses on the different structural aspects and properties of isotactic polypropylene. 

Buildtech (construction textiles) These are textile materials used in construction, such as concrete reinforcement, facade foundation systems, insulation, proofing materials, air conditioning, noise prevention, visual protection, building safety, etc.

Adhesives are used today in virtually all North American industries. Construction, textiles, electronics, transportation, aerospace, health care, recreation, and manufacturing all rely heavily, and sometimes critically, on adhesive bonding. Although there are many reasons for this heavy dependence by so many industries upon adhesives, the primary factors are reduced cost and/or improved performance.

Rubbish. Rubbish consists of combustible and noncorn-bustible sohd wastes, excluding food wastes or other putrescible materials. Typically, combustible rubbish consists of materials such as paper, cardboard, plastics, textiles, rubber, leather, wood, furniture, and garden trimmings. Noncombustible rubbish consists of items such as glass, crockeiy, tin cans, aluminum cans, ferrous and other nonferrous metals, dirt, and construction wastes. 

It is also common practice to classify filter media by their materials of construction. Examples are cotton, wool, linen, glass fiber, porosmooth surface caused by carrying the warp (or the weft) on the fabric surface over many weft (or warp) yarns. Intersections between warp and weft are kept to a minimum, just sufficient to hold the fabric firmly together and still provide a smooth fabric surface. The percentage of open area in a textile filter indicates the proportion of total fabric area that is open, and can be determined by the following relationship ... 

Flame retardants cause the plastic material to be safer in use in its final form. They are only used when the marketplace requires it in a wide range of applications spanning the construction, moulded parts, sealants, coatings and textile industries. High levels (up to 25 %) of FR are required in polypropylene - one of the most difficult plastics to render flame retardant - to meet standards for certain applications, such as in the... 

Heterogeneous liquid membrane electrodes. This type, which has become of considerable practical importance, consists of a liquid ion-exchange layer or a complex-forming layer within a hydrophobic porous membrane of plastic (PTFE, PVC, etc.), sintered glass or filtering textile (glass-fibre, etc.). The construction of such an electrode is depicted in Fig. 2.12.

European machines in particular are operated with very low water levels in order to save energy and water. It is therefore important to ensure that the laundry load is soaked in water or suds as quickly as possible so that dry textiles do not rub unnecessarily against the drum or the rubber seal. This is achieved in European machines by constructional features that improve water absorption, shown in Fig. 3.3, such as lifter bars, circulation (jet) systems or direct injection. 

Pure xylan is not employed in industry. but crude xylan or pentosans are of industrial importance. Xylan has been proposed as a textile size but is not employed as yet for this purpose.130 Perhaps the largest use of pentosans is in their conversion to furfural, which has many applications and serves as the source of other furan derivatives. At the present time, large quantities of furfural are used in the extractive purification of petroleum products, and recently a large plant has been constructed to convert furfural by a series of reactions to adipic acid and hexamethylene-diamine, basic ingredients in the synthesis of nylon. In commercial furfural manufacture, rough ground corn cobs are subjected to steam distillation in the presence of hydrochloric acid. As mentioned above, direct preferential hydrolysis of the pentosan in cobs or other pentosan-bearing products could be used for the commercial manufacture of D-xylose.
