Glue factory

Present-day nomenclature is partly the result of the conflict and interplay of two functions the need to communicate in speech and on the printed page on the one hand, and the need for archival storage of information and its efficient, reliable retrieval. The former function came first, and laid the basis for the nomenclature most commonly used even today, and gave birth to a wealth of trivial names (i.e. names that give little or no information on structure). These were often coined on the basis of the origin of the substance, as in the case of collidine, obtained from distillation of bones in glue factories, or were derived from a special characteristic, as in the case of skatole, which has a fecal odor. Such names are short and generally euphonious, but they must be memorized they cannot be deduced from the structure.

Chronic skin exposure to turpentine may produce a hypersensitivity reaction, with bullous dermatitis and/or eczema. A case-control study of workers in particle-board, plywood, sawmills, and formaldehyde glue factories demonstrated a statistically significant association between chronic exposure (longer than 5 years) to terpenes (the principal component of turpentine) and the development of respiratory tract cancers.

Around 1700, the widespread use of glue brought about some rapid changes in the history of adhesives. The first commercial glue factory was started in Holland to manufacture animal glue from hides. 

Changes in urinary phenol levels (pre- and post-shift sample results) were observed in examinations carried out on 33 female workers (23-54 years old) employed at a shoe factory for 5-30 years (Karacic et al. 1987). Their exposure was to solvents, glues, and paints known to contain benzene. Workers were known to be coexposed to toluene, which was listed as an ingredient of several of the glues. Urine samples were collected on Monday mornings before work (M,) and on Wednesdays before work (W,) and after work (Wn). Additionally, venous blood was taken on Wn only. All samples were coupled with controls from 29 females (19-58 years old) who were not occupationally exposed to solvents. Results indicated there was no difference in the urinary phenol concentrations measured on M, and W, but Wn was about 2 times that of W,. Both benzene and toluene were found in the blood samples of exposed workers but were not detected in control blood samples. The difference in pre- and post-shift phenol... 

Presented here are only the methods that the author has tested in practice on plastics wastes. The first attempts were undertaken in 1986 in a small pilot unit that dealt with wastes of polyolefin films used for packaging. Those wastes were nonpigmented, transparent and rather clean. They were provided by waste collectors in blocks of approximately 30 kg, intended for factories producing regenerated granules (recyclate). The intention was to show the potential of producing a polyolefin wax to be used in polish applications or in hot-melt glues from those wastes. 

PTBP had been known to cause contact dermatitis in shoe manufacturers, and wearers, and in automobile assemblymen (Kahn 1970). PTBP formaldehyde resin (PTBPFR) is also a contact sensitizer, present in neoprene adhesives used in the manufacture of car seats, roof linings, and care interiors. Depigmentation on the hands and forearms were observed in 11 of 99 British automobile factory workers who were exposed to a PTBFR glue without wearing protective gloves (Calnan and Cooke 1974). Malten (1984) attributed the leukoderma to excess PTBP in the glue.
