Polystyrene. Polystyrene [9003-53-6] is a thermoplastic prepared by the polymerization of styrene, primarily the suspension or bulk processes. Polystyrene is a linear polymer that is atactic, amorphous, inert to acids and alkahes, but attacked by aromatic solvents and chlorinated hydrocarbons such as dry cleaning fluids. It is clear but yellows and crazes on outdoor exposure when attacked by uv light. It is britde and does not accept plasticizers, though mbber can be compounded with it to raise the impact strength, ie, high impact polystyrene (HIPS). Its principal use in building products is as a foamed plastic (see Eoamed plastics). The foams are used for interior trim, door and window frames, cabinetry, and, in the low density expanded form, for insulation (see Styrene plastics).

The new fibers were scientifically interesting—and they eventually laid the foundation for the synthetic textile industry—but at the time they seemed practically worthless. The first polyester fibers resembled those produced by the lowly silk worm, but Carothers did not think that the discovery would be commercially valuable. The polymer chains made in Hill s molecular still were still not long enough to make robust fibers. The filaments melted at such a low temperature and were so soluble that they could not be ironed or washed in dry cleaning fluid or hot water. Carothers knew he would have to make longer polymers if he hoped to make a marketable fiber. Instead, Carothers dramatized the romance of Hill s discovery by quoting the seventeenth-century microscopist, Robert Hooke, who had dreamed of making synthetic silk even better than that Excrement made by silk worms. 

Used industrially as a chemical intermediate, solvent, dry cleaning fluid, degreaser, and lead scavenger for antiknock fluids used in agriculture as a fumigant. 

Carbon tetrachloride and trichlorethylenc (found in degreasing agents and dry cleaning fluids). 

Patrick principle The principle that the quality of a body of water and the changes caused by human activities on that water can be determined by the type and number of organisms found there. The principle is named after microbiologist Ruth Patrick, perc An abbreviation for a commonly used dry cleaning fluid, perchloroethylene.

Good resistance to bleaches, dry-cleaning Fluids, and most common solvents. Dissolves in warm acetone and acrylic-type solvents. 

Good resistance to deterioration by bleaches, but some discolored slightly by hypochlorite bleaches. Resistant to solvents, including dry-cleaning fluids, and oils, except glycols. ... 

A solvent is a substance that can dissolve another substance, and a volatile solvent is a liquid that vaporizes at room temperature. Volatile solvents include adhesives such as airplane glue and rubber cement aerosols such as spray paint, hair spray, and air freshener solvents such as nail polish remover, paint remover, and lighter fluid and cleaners such as dry cleaning fluid, spot remover, and degreasers. 

Cleaning agents Dry cleaning fluid and spot removers contain tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethane degreasers contain those ingredients as well as trichloroethylene and methylene chloride. Trichlorethylene and trichlorethane are... 

DDT and PCBs remain the most widespread contaminants in human milk around the world. Other common contaminants of mother s milk include flame retardants, pesticides, wood preservatives, toilet deodorizers, and dry-cleaning fluids. 

Some halogen compounds have been too reactive for the health of people and the planet. They can destroy healthy cells and attack the Earths atmosphere in the same active way that they kill germs or break down wood into paper. For instance, chlorofluorocarbon (or CFC) compounds used to be popular cooling chemicals in refrigerators and air conditioners and in the gas that pushed hairspray and deodorant out of aerosol cans. CFCs are now widely banned because they destroy Earths atmosphere. Chlorine is also part of the insect killer DDT, a dry cleaning fluid, and the compounds called PCBs. All of these products are now banned or used rarely because they have been linked to pollution and health problems like cancer and liver disease.

The traditional elastomeric threads have been subject to certain inherent limitations, however. The presence of unreacted double bonds makes them sensitive to oxidation, especially with exposure to the ultraviolet radiation of direct sunlight. They also have low resistance to laundry and household bleaches and dry-cleaning fluids. 

In many solids, the atoms form lattices that are held together by electrostatic charges (as in salt) or by metallic bonds (as in iron). What about liquids What holds water, gasoline, or dry cleaning fluid together The answer to that question came from a scientist... 

The term glue-sniffing derives from the abuse of adhesives which often contain solvents such as toluene, ethyl acetate, acetone, or ethyl methyl ketone. These, and similar compounds, also occur in a diverse range of other commercial products which may be abused, e.g. shoe-cleaners, nail varnish, dry-cleaning fluids, bottled fuel gases (butane and propane), aerosol propellents, and fire extinguishers (bromochlorodifluoromethane). 

A 60.00-g sample of a dry-cleaning fluid was analyzed and found to contain 10.80 g carbon, 1.36 g hydrogen, and 47.84 g chlorine. Determine the empirical formula of the compound using a table of atomic masses. 

Chlorinated hydrocarbons are persistent volatile organic compound (VOC) pollutants that infiltrate soil from disposal of dry cleaning fluids, degreasing solvents, food extraction solvents, and paint strippers. Trichloroethylene (TCE) is illustrative of these compounds.
