Zinc is also used extensively to galvanize other metals such as iron to prevent corrosion. Zinc oxide is a unique and very useful material for modern civilization. It is widely used in the manufacture of paints, rubber products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, floor coverings, plastics, printing inks, soap, storage batteries, textiles, electrical equipment, and other products. Lithopone, a mixture of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate, is an important pigment. 

Isopropa.nola.mines. Reaction of propylene oxide with ammonia yields mono-, di-, and triisopropanolamines. These products find use as soluble oils and solvents, emulsifiers, waterless hand cleaners, cosmetics, cleaners, and detergents. In industrial apphcations isopropanolamines are used in adhesives, agricultural products, corrosion inhibitors, coatings, epoxy resins, metalworking, and others (51). 

Most talc sold to paper, ceramics, and other industrial customers is manufactured to specifications agreed to between the producer and consumer. In paper, properties such as color, abrasion, surface area, and tint ate most important, whereas in ceramics, oxide chemistry, fired color, pressing characteristics, and alkaH metal content ate mote important. There ate some military specifications for talc used in corrosive coatings (6) and for cosmetic talc products used for cleaning of personnel in chemical warfare zones (7).

Actually, the successful use of cationic surfactants (cSurf), as flotation reagents, frothers, metal corrosion inhibitors, pharmaceutical products, cosmetic materials, stimulates considerable increase in their production and as a result increases their content in natural water. As cationic surfactants are toxic pollutants in natural water and their maximum contaminant level (MCL) of natural water is 0.15-4.0 mg/dm, it is necessary to use methods for which provide rapid and reliable determination with sensitivity equal to at least 0.1 of MCL. Practically most sensitive methods of cationic surfactant determination include the preconcentration by extraction or sorption. Analytical methods without using organic solvents are more preferable due to their ecological safety. 

The lifetime of a conventional exhaust system on an average family car is only 2 years or so. This is hardly surprising - mild steel is the usual material and, as we have shown, it is not noted for its corrosion resistance. The interior of the system is not painted and begins to corrode immediately in the damp exhaust gases from the engine. The single coat of cheap cosmetic paint soon falls off the outside and rusting starts there, too, aided by the chloride ions from road salt, which help break down the iron oxide film. 

Toxic Reactions of the Skin Irritation is the most common reaction of the skin. Skin irritation is usually a local inflammatory reaction. The most common skin irritants are solvents dehydrating, oxidizing, or reducing compounds and cosmetic compounds. Acids and alkalies are common irritants. Irritation reactions can be divided into acute irritation and corrosion. Necrosis of the surface of the skin is typical for corrosion. Acids and alkalies also cause chemical burns. Phenols, organotin compounds, hydrogen fluoride, and yellow phosphorus may cause serious burns. Phenol also causes local anesthesia, in fact it has been used as a local anesthetic in minor ear operations such as puncture of the tympanous membrane in cases of otitis. ... 

The metal lost from the inside of pumps, reaction vessels, pipework, etc. usually contaminates the product. The implications of this depend upon the product. Ppb levels of iron can discolor white plastics, though at this level the effect is purely cosmetic. Ppm levels of iron and other metals affect the taste of beer. Products sold to compositional requirements (such as reagent-grade acids) can be spoiled by metal pick-up. Pharmaceutical products for human use are often white tablets or powders and are easily discolored by slight contamination by corrosion products. 

Corrosive species in the atmospheres include water, salts and gases. Clean atmospheres contain little other than oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor and a small quantity of carbon dioxide. These species are virtually non-corrosive to any of the common constructional materials for plant at normal temperatures. Steel is susceptible to corrosion in even fairly clean air where water can exist as liquid. For plant operating at temperatures up to approximately 100°C coatings are employed to protect steel if required. In clean air corrosion rates are low, and corrosion is primarily a cosmetic problem, although it may be necessary to prevent mst staining of nearby materials. 

Amines are important industrial chemicals which are involved in everyday life [3, 4]. Apart from the usual classification into primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, the distinction is often made between lighf amines (less than six-carbon substituents) and fatty amines. light amines are intermediates for the synthesis of drugs, herbicides, cosmetics, etc. [3]. They also find use as vulcanization accelerators and extraction agents. Fatty amines are involved in the synthesis of corrosion inhibitors and cationic surfactants, which are used in ore flotation processes and are good fabric softeners and antistatic agents [4—6],...

Any application of substances onto the skin, for instance, cosmetic products, must not cause damage to human health when applied under normal conditions. Therefore, any compound considered for application on human skin needs to be tested for reversible disadvantageous effects (skin irritation) and irreversible skin damage (skin corrosion).

Topical drug preparations are applied for days or even weeks, cosmetics for a lifetime and skin contact is probably the most common form of exposure to industrial chemicals. Therefore, a knowledge of the cutaneous toxicity is important for an overall hazard assessment. Cutaneous toxicity or localised skin injury can be considered as a primary event, because the compound could be irritant or corrosive, or as a secondary immunologically mediated event causing a delayed hypersensitivity response.
