Formulations hquid

In terms of enzyme product formulations, Hquid and granulated enzymes are used. Cellulase is combined with surfactants to give a cleaner finish. 

Gyclodextrins. As indicated previously, the native cyclodextrins, which are thermally stable, have been used extensively in Hquid chromatographic chiral separations, but their utihty in gc appHcations was hampered because their highly crystallinity and insolubiUty in most organic solvents made them difficult to formulate into a gc stationary phase. However, some functionali2ed cyclodextrins form viscous oils suitable for gc stationary-phase coatings and have been used either neat or diluted in a polysiloxane polymer as chiral stationary phases for gc (119). Some of the derivati2ed cyclodextrins which have been adapted to gc phases are 3-0-acetyl-2,6-di-0-pentyl, 3-0-butyryl-2,6-di-0-pentyl,... 

K > Na > Li. After neutralization or removal of the catalyst, fluid polymers are used as is or to formulate grease compounds. If a reactive end blocking group was incorporated during polymerization, the fluid polymer is then useful for making a coating, a sealant, or a Hquid mbber product. 

Foam Control. Whereas some siUcones are known to be foam promoters, Dow Corning FS-1265 Fluid is a Hquid fluorosiUcone with effective antifoam properties. Petroleum industry appHcation of fluids and dispersions in gas—oil separators on offshore drilling platforms has been successful. Their use peaked in the early 1980s, coinciding with constrained cmde oil capacity and production. Diesel fuels are an excellent solvent for dimethyl silicones and render them ineffective as an antifoam. A new antifoam which does not require the use of added siUca is formulated from a fluorosiUcone copolymer. It has shown promise to antifoam (8) diesel fuel (see Defoamers). 

A typical phenohc foam system consists of hquid phenohc resia, blowiag agent, catalyst, surface-active agent, and modifiers. Various formulations and composite systems (65—67) can be used to improve one or more properties of the foam ia specific apphcations such as iasulation properties (63,68—71), flammabihty (72—74), and open cell (76—78) (quahty). 

The product must be formulated and frozen in a manner which ensures that there is no fluid phase remaining. To achieve this, it is necessary to cool the product to a temperature below which no significant Hquid—soHd phase transitions exist. This temperature can be deterrnined by differential scanning calorimetry or by measuring changes in resistivity (94,95). 

Magnesia and aluminum suspension is useflil for the therapy of duodenal ulcers when given at high doses at frequent intervals. It is available in both hquid and tablet formulations. 

Ammonium lauryl sulfate [2235-54-3] is available as an approximately 28% active, clear, Hquid form. It has greater solubiHty than the sodium salt and is more likely to be used in formulating clear shampoos. Systems using this detergent show their best stabiHty at pH between 6 and 7. Lower pH would tend to hydrolyze the detergent, eventually releasing ammonia. 

Typically, soHd stabilizers utilize natural saturated fatty acid ligands with chain lengths of Cg—C g. Ziac stearate [557-05-1/, ziac neodecanoate [27253-29-8] calcium stearate [1592-23-0] barium stearate [6865-35-6] and cadmium laurate [2605-44-9] are some examples. To complete the package, the soHd products also contain other soHd additives such as polyols, antioxidants, and lubricants. Liquid stabilizers can make use of metal soaps of oleic acid, tall oil acids, 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid, octylphenol, and nonylphenol. Barium bis(nonylphenate) [41157-58-8] ziac 2-ethyIhexanoate [136-53-8], cadmium 2-ethyIhexanoate [2420-98-6], and overbased barium tallate [68855-79-8] are normally used ia the Hquid formulations along with solubilizers such as plasticizers, phosphites, and/or epoxidized oils. The majority of the Hquid barium—cadmium formulations rely on barium nonylphenate as the source of that metal. There are even some mixed metal stabilizers suppHed as pastes. The U.S. FDA approved calcium—zinc stabilizers are good examples because they contain a mixture of calcium stearate and ziac stearate suspended ia epoxidized soya oil. Table 4 shows examples of typical mixed metal stabilizers. 

A.ntioxidants. PhenoHc antioxidants, added at about 0.1—0.5 phr, are usually chosen from among butylated hydroxytoluene [128-37-0] (BHT), and Nnonylphenol [104-40-5] for Hquid stabilizer formulations and bisphenol A [80-05-7] (2,2-bis-(/)-hydroxyphenyl)propane) for the soHd systems. Low melting thioesters, dilauryl thiodipropionate [123-28-4] (DLTDP) or distearyl thiodipropionate [693-36-7] (DSTDP) are commonly added along with the phenoHcs to enhance their antioxidant performance. Usually a 3 1 ratio of thiodipropionate to phenoHc antioxidant provides the desired protection. Most mixed metal stabilizer products contain the antioxidant iagredient. 

Economics. As with the alkyl tin stabilizers, the market pricing of the mixed metal stabilizers tend to be directed by the particular appHcation. The calcium—zinc and barium—cadmium packages are typically used at 2.0—4.0 parts per hundred of PVC resin (phr) in the formulation. These completely formulated products are sold for 2.50— 4.40/kg for the Hquid products and 3.20— 6.50/kg for the soHds and pastes. The higher efficiency products aimed at rigid appHcations tend toward the higher end of the cost range. 

The encapsulation of herbicides has received much attention. Encapsulated alachlor is a high volume herbicide product generally sold as a Hquid formulation, although a dry granule version is also available. The capsules, produced by interfacial polymeri2ation (11), are reported to be spherical with a diameter of 2—15 p.m (75). Two thiocarbamate herbicides, EPTC and vemolate [1929-77-7], were encapsulated by interfacial polymeri2ation because they are volatile compounds. When appHed in unencapsulated form, they must be incorporated in the soil within two hours in order to provide effective weed control. When appHed as a microencapsulated formulation, the rate of volatili2ation is lower and soil incorporation can be delayed 24 hours (76). 

Microcapsules are used in several film coatings other than carbonless paper. Encapsulated Hquid crystal formulations coated on polyester film are used to produce a variety of display products including thermometers. Polyester film coated with capsules loaded with leuco dyes analogous to those used in carbonless copy paper is used as a means of measuring line and force pressures (79). Encapsulated deodorants that release their core contents as a function of moisture developed because of sweating represent another commercial appHcation. Microcapsules are incorporated in several cosmetic creams, powders, and cleansing products (80). 

Other test media and techniques include post-emulsification penetrants, penetrants that form gels resistant to easy removal from entrapments, penetrants that concentrate dye constituents as their carrier Hquids evaporate during test processing, and penetrants that form strippable coatings in the developers. StiU other penetrant systems are formulated for use at abnormally low or high temperatures for special test appHcations. 

Some hquid defoamers are preemulsified relatives of paste defoamers. In addition to the fatty components mentioned above, kerosene [8008-20-6] or an organic cosolvent such as 2-propanol have been used to enhance stabiUty of the oil—water emulsion and the solubiUty of the defoamer s active ingredients. These cosolvents are used less frequently as concerns increase about volatile organic emissions (VOCs) from the paper machine. Additionally, the use of ultrapure mineral oil in defoamers has become commonplace. Concern about the creation of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) in the pulping process has led to the discovery of unchlorinated precursor molecules, especially in recycled mineral oil and other organic cosolvents used in defoamer formulations (28). In 1995 the mineral oil that is used is essentially free of dibenzodioxin and dibenzofuran. In addition, owing to both the concern about these oils and the fluctuating cost of raw materials, the trend in paper machine defoamers is toward water-based defoamers (29). 

There are more than 100 commercially available organic peroxides ia well over 300 formulations, eg, neat Hquids and soflds, and pastes, powders, solutions, dispersions, and emulsions, that have utihty ia many commercial appHcations (13,14,16,21,22,24—26,44,98,99,208,209,291—305). Many of the commercially available peroxides are Hsted ia Table 17 along with 10-h HLTs.
