DU PONT DE NEMOURS Company

The synthetic fiber industry as we know it began m 1928 when E I Du Pont de Nemours Company lured Professor Wallace H Carothers from Harvard University to direct their research department In a few years Carothers and his associates had pro duced nylon the first synthetic fiber and neoprene a rubber substitute Synthetic fibers and elastomers are both products of important contemporary industries with an economic influence far beyond anything imaginable m the middle 1920s...

The effect of °Co y-ray irradiation on the mechanical properties, surface morphology, and fractography of blends of plasticized PVC and thermoplastic copolyester elastomer, Hytrel (E.I. Du Pont de Nemours Company, Inc., Wilmington, Delaware), have been studied by Thomas et al. [445]. Radiation has two major effects on the blend cross-linking of the Hytrel phase and degradation of PVC phase. Both effects are found more prominent at higher radiation dose. 

The Du Pont de Nemours company attempted to classify the risks of dangerous peroxidation of chemical compounds. This classification includes the hydrocarbons mentioned above. This list is to be found in the entry about ethers (see on p.261). 

Before showing how direct peroxidation of active group works, it should be mentioned that platinum catalyses oxidation of alcohols at ambient temperature in aldehydes (provided they are primary). The exothermicity of the reaction is sufficient to cause the alcohol to combust by heating a thread of platinum at a high temperature. Note that 2-butanol (but not isopropanol) is classified in list B, producing peroxides that become expiosive at a certain concentration in the lists of peroxidable compounds set up by Du Pont de Nemours company (see p.261).

Personal protective equipment is clothing and/or respiratory equipment worn to protect the body against various forms of contamination. Some of the most common forms of personal protective equipment include dust masks, air purifying respirators, protective suits made from particulates or chemically resistant materials such as Tyvek (E.I. Du Pont de Nemours Company, Inc., Wilmington, DE) and/or other fabrics, and lightweight protective rubber gloves or chemical-resistant gloves.
