Domestic Use

Compound 1080 is highly poisonous to all tested mammals as well as humans. There is no known antidote to 1080 and it has been impossible to resuscitate any animal or 

The introduction of 1080-fivestock protection collars to protect goats and sheep against coyote depredation was initiated in 1985 its use was limited to certified applicators. The 1080-filled mbber collars are attached to the 

Compound 1080 was also effective against jack-rabbits, foxes, and moles. Baits containing 0.05-0.1% of 1080 on vegetables were used in California to kill jackrabbits (Lepus spp.) and various rodents. The Arctic fox (Alopex lagopus), intentionally introduced onto the Aleutian Islands in 1835, almost eliminated the Aleutian Canada goose (Branta canadensis leucoparlia) by 1967 1080-tallow baits were successfully used to control fox populations. Earthworm baits are used to kill moles. The earthworms are soaked for 45 min in a 2.5%

A common domestic use is the removal of rust or blood stains from white materials, e.g. cotton. 

Market forces determine the demand for a product, and the demand will be used to forecast the sales of hydrocarbons. This will be one of the factors considered by some governments when setting the production targets for the oil company. For example, much of the gas produced in the South China Sea is liquefied and exported by tanker to Japan for industrial and domestic use the contract agreed with the Japanese purchaser will drive the production levels set by the National Oil Company. 

Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol also has been cleared for use in California under Rule 66. It meets the rigid specifications for uv degradation in environmentally sensitive areas. In addition to domestic use, a substantial amount of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is used as a solvent for agricultural chemicals in Europe. 

The three principal domestic uses for rice in 1988 were direct food (61%), processed food (18%), and beer (20%). The direct food use figure includes the conventional white milled rice plus specialty rice products (parboiled, precooked, aromatic, brown, and prepackaged mixes) shipped directly from the rice mills. The specialty products account for approximately one-fifth of the direct food use. Approximately two-thirds of the direct food use rice is ultimately distributed to consumers through retail outlets and one-third through food service outlets. 

Fibers for commercial and domestic use are broadly classified as natural or synthetic. The natural fibers are vegetable, animal, or mineral ia origin. Vegetable fibers, as the name implies, are derived from plants. The principal chemical component ia plants is cellulose, and therefore they are also referred to as ceUulosic fibers. The fibers are usually bound by a natural phenoHc polymer, lignin, which also is frequentiy present ia the cell wall of the fiber thus vegetable fibers are also often referred to as lignocellulosic fibers, except for cotton which does not contain lignin. 

As of 1996 world production of sodium nitrate was about 520,000 metric tons annually. Of this quantity, some 450,000 t (86%) are produced in Chile from natural deposits by SQM Nitratos and distributed worldwide by several affOiates, eg, Chilean Nitrate Corporation in the United States and Nitrate Sales International in Belgium. The remainder, ca 70,000 t, is manufactured mainly in Europe, Japan, and Russia, generally as a by-product of nitric acid production. Additionally, China is known to manufacture some unknown but significant volumes of sodium nitrate for domestic use. 

Until the late 1980s the United States was a principal suppHer of arsenic trioxide for domestic use. However, it must now rely entirely on imports. Table 4 gives the annual world production and United States imports of arsenic trioxide for the latter part of the 1980s. 

The reluctance of acrylic monomers to polymerise in the presence of air has been made a virtue with the anaerobic acrylic adhesives. These are usually dimethacrylates such as tetramethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The monomers are supplied with a curing system comprising a peroxide and an amine as part of a one-part pack. When the adhesive is placed between mild steel surfaces air is excluded, which prevents air inhibition, and the iron present acts as a polymerisation promoter. The effectiveness as a promoter varies from one metal to another and it may be necessary to use a primer such as cobalt naphthenate. The anaerobic adhesives have been widely used for sealing nuts and bolts and for a variety of engineering purposes. Small tube containers are also available for domestic use.

Formerly Na2C03 found extensive use as washing soda" but this market has now disappeared due to the domestic use of detergents. TIk related compound NaHCOs is, however, still used, particularly because of its ready decomposition in the temperature range 50-l(X)°C ... 

The main chemical products produced from these minerals are (a) boron oxides, boric acid and borates, (b) esters of boric acid, (c) refractory boron compounds (borides, eu .), (d) boron halides, (e) boranes and carbaboranes and (f) organoboranes. The main industrial and domestic uses of boron compounds in Europe (USA in parentheses) are ... 

Other specialized uses of Sn and its alloys are as type metal, as the molten-metal bath in the manufacture of float glass and as the alloy NbsSn in superconducting magnets. The many industrial and domestic uses of tin compounds are discussed in later sections these compounds account for about 15% of the tin produced worldwide. 

World production expressed as 100% H2O2 approached 1.9 million tonnes in 1994 of which half was in Europe and one-fifth in the USA. The earliest and still the largest industrial use for H2O2 is as a bleach for textiles, paper pulp, straw, leather, oils and fats, etc. Domestic use as a hair bleach and a mild disinfectant has diminished somewhat. Hydrogen peroxide is also extensively used to manufacture chemicals, notably sodium perborate (p. 206) and percarbonate, which are major constituents of most domestic detergents at least in the UK and Europe. Normal formulations include 15-25% of such peroxoacid salts, though the practice is much less widespread in the USA, and the concentrations, when included at all, are usually less than 10%.

Electric power is almost always transmitted as three-phase AC current. In domestic use, current is often distributed from a substation at 13,200, 6,600, or 2,300 V, which is stepped down by a transformer close to the point of use to 600, 480, and 240 V for three-phase current for commercial power and 240 and 120 V for single-phase, three-wire current for household power and lights. If DC current is required, synchronous converters or rectifiers are used to convert the AC supply to DC.

In most of its uses, e.g. the external surfaces of tinplate cans, tinned steel has only to resist condensed moisture. In the absence of pollution of the atmosphere by unusually large amounts of sulphur dioxide or chlorides, or of several days of continuous wetting, tinned steel remains unrusted even the thin porous coatings on the common grades of tinplate remain bright and unmarked over the periods involved in the commercial handling and domestic storage of cans, and the domestic use of kitchenware.

The hardness of an enamel surface is an important property for such items as enamelled sink units, domestic appliances, washing machine tubs which have to withstand the abrasive action of buttons, etc. On Moh s scale most enamels have a hardness of up to 6 (orthoclase). There are two types of hardness of importance to users of enamel, viz. surface and subsurface. The former is more important for domestic uses when one considers the scratching action of cutlery, pans, etc. whereas subsurface hardness is the prime factor in prolonging the life of enamelled scoops, buckets, etc. in such applications as elevators or conveyors of coal and other minerals. 

A similar product is available for domestic use. Plastic containers hold a eutectic solution, and these are frozen down by placing these elements in the domestic deep-freeze cabinet. Once frozen, they can be used in picnic baskets, etc., for the short-term storage of cold foods, wines, ice cream, etc. 

The main domestic use for PTFE is on non-stick utensils such as frying pans. Industrially, the polymer is used for gaskets, pump parts, and laboratory equipment. 

Polyurethane foams are widely used. Rigid foams, for example, are used in cavity wall insulation in buildings, while flexible foams have, until recently, been used in soft furnishing for domestic use. They continue to be used in car seating. In addition to foams another major use of polyurethanes is in surface coatings. A variety of polyurethane-based polymers, some of considerable complexity, are used for this purpose, but all share the common desirable features of toughness, flexibility, and abrasion resistance.
