Epoxy-based

Other. 2-Nitro-1-butanol is an excellent solvent for many polyamide resins, cellulose acetate butyrate, and ethylceUulose. It can be utilized in paint removers for epoxy-based coatings. 2-Hydroxymethyl-2-nitro-l,3-propanediol is usebil for control of odors in chemical toilets. Its slow release of formaldehyde ensures prolonged action to control odor, and there is no reodorant problem which sometimes is associated with the use of free formaldehyde. 2-Hydroxymethyl-2-nitro-l,3-propanediol solutions are effective preservative and embalming fluids. The slow Uberation of formaldehyde permits thorough penetration of the tissues before hardening. 

A proposed mechanism for toughening of mbber-modifted epoxies based on the microstmcture and fracture characteristics (310—312) involves mbber cavitation and matrix shear-yielding. A quantitative expression describes the fracture toughness values over a wide range of temperatures and rates. 

Some commercial durable antistatic finishes have been Hsted in Table 3 (98). Early patents suggest that amino resins (qv) can impart both antisHp and antistatic properties to nylon, acryUc, and polyester fabrics. CycHc polyurethanes, water-soluble amine salts cross-linked with styrene, and water-soluble amine salts of sulfonated polystyrene have been claimed to confer durable antistatic protection. Later patents included dibydroxyethyl sulfone [2580-77-0] hydroxyalkylated cellulose or starch, poly(vinyl alcohol) [9002-86-2] cross-linked with dimethylolethylene urea, chlorotria2ine derivatives, and epoxy-based products. Other patents claim the use of various acryUc polymers and copolymers. Essentially, durable antistats are polyelectrolytes, and the majority of usehil products involve variations of cross-linked polyamines containing polyethoxy segments (92,99—101). 

Powder Costings. Epoxy-based powder coatings exhibit useful properties such as exceUent adhesion, abrasion resistance, hardness, and chemical resistance. The appHcation possibUities are diverse, including refrigerator liners, oU filters, hospital equipment, primers, shelving, automobUe springs, and fire extinguishers. 

A number of cement materials are used with brick. Standard are phenolic and furan resins, polyesters, sulfur, silicate, and epoxy-based materials. Carbon-filled polyesters and furanes are good against nonoxidizing acids, salts, and solvents. Silica-filled resins should not be used against hydrofluoric or fluosihcic acids. Sulfur-based cements are limited to 93°C (200°F), while resins can be used to about 180°C (350°F). The sodium silicate-based cements are good against acids to 400°C (750°F). 

Epoxy based primer systems remain the best suited for the corrosion protection of magnesium. Cathodic epoxy electrophoretic paints , chromate inhibited epoxy-polyamide primers and high temperature stoving epoxy sealers are used to provide protection up to 180°C. For higher temperature applications up to 300°C, epoxy silicone or polyimide based systems can be used. 

Enamels. The flexibility grades for the eight enamels (Table I) that were irradiated with 3-4 Mrad and 6-7.5 Mrad at 5, —30, and —90°C are shown in Table II. These data indicate that the epoxy-based enamels showed the best initial flexibility at — 90 °C and maintained their flexibility after irradiation. The preferred enamels were the epoxy phenolic with aluminum pigment, epoxy-wax and butadiene-styrene copolymer with aluminum pigment, and epoxy-wax with aluminum pigment. Tinplate adhesion before and after irradiation was satisfactory for the eight enamels.

Literature search shows that epoxy-based nanocomposites have been prepared by many researchers [34-38]. Becker et al. have prepared nanocomposites based on various high-functionahty epoxies. The mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties were also investigated thoroughly [39 3]. The cure characteristics, effects of various compatibilizers, thermodynamic properties, and preparation methods [16,17,44 9] have also been reported. ENR contains a reactive epoxy group. ENR-organoclay nanocomposites were investigated by Teh et al. [50-52]. 

Peroxidic groups in oxidized polyolefins have frequently been employed as sources of free radicals to allow grafting of vinyl monomers to polyolefins (2f[). Some of the products from the gas reactions also have interesting potential as reactive sites. For example, chloroformate groups are well known to react with alcohols, and amines 2J[). Thus chloroformate groups could be useful for example in coupling highly oriented polyolefin fibres to resins such as epoxy based systems. 

A wide range of paints and other organic coatings is used for the protection of mild steel structures. Paints are used mainly for protection from atmospheric corrosion. Special chemically resistant paints have been developed for use on chemical process equipment. Chlorinated rubber paints and epoxy-based paints are used. In the application of paints and other coatings, good surface preparation is essential to ensure good adhesion of the paint film or coating.

Epoxy-based membrane of 2-[(4-chloro-phenylimino)-methyl]-phenol reveals a far Nemstian slope of 43 mV per decade for Pb+2 over a wide concentration range CIO 6 to 10 1 mol dm-3). The response time of the electrode is quite low (< 10 sec) and could be used for a period of 2 months with a good reproducibility. The proposed electrode reveals very high selectivity for Pb(II) in the presence of transition metal ions such as Cu2+, Ni2+, Cr and Cd2+at concentrations l.()xl() 3 M and 1.0><10 4 M. Effect of internal solution concentration was also studied. The proposed sensor can be used in the pH range of 2.50 - 9.0. It was used as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of Pb+2 ion against EDTA.

Three workers applying an epoxy-based waterproofing paint containing glycidyl ether inside an underground water tank died in the tank of asphyxia. Constituents of epoxy resin will displace oxygen in a confined space and may have an independent narcotic effect on exposed workers. Strict precautionary measures are recommended under these conditions. ... 

This paper reports the results of a molecular-level investigation of the effects of flame retardant additives on the thermal dedompositlon of thermoset molding compounds used for encapsulation of IC devices, and their implications to the reliability of devices in molded plastic packages. In particular, semiconductor grade novolac epoxy and silicone-epoxy based resins and an electrical grade novolac epoxy formulation are compared. This work is an extension of a previous study of an epoxy encapsulant to flame retarded and non-flame retarded sample pairs of novolac epoxy and silicone-epoxy compounds. The results of this work are correlated with separate studies on device aglng2>3, where appropriate.
