Foam brakes

Propylene Oxide. Propylene oxide is another basic chemical used in manufacturing intermediates for urethane foams (cushioning and insulation), coatings, brake fluids, hydraulic fluids, quenchants, and many other end uses.23 The classic industrial synthesis of this chemical has been the reaction of chlorine with propylene to produce the chloro-hydrin followed by dehydrochlorination with caustic to produce the alkylene oxide, propylene oxide, plus salt.

Obsolete automobiles are typically shredded for the recovery of ferrous scrap. The nonmetallic fraction of shredded automobiles is auto shredder residue (ASR), a heterogeneous mixture of plastics, glass, rubber, fibers, foam, upholstery, dirt and fines. ASR may typically be contaminated with any of the original constituents of an automobile such as brake fluid, steering fluid, motor oil, gasoline or heavy metals. It is estimated that 250-275 lb. of plastic are used in a 3,500 lb. auto and that up to 1.2 million tons of waste plastic from ASR are generated per year [Bonsignore ct al., 1991]. A breakdown of automotive plastic scrap for the 1981 model year has shown that the thermoplastics ABS, PUR, PP and PVC comprise 65% of waste plastic.
