Potassium biduoride crystals may break down to a fine white powder that is readily airborne. In this form, the salt is quite irritating to the nasal passages, eyes, and skin. Therefore, the hands and eyes should be protected and acid dust masks should be worn while handling, as an acid duoride KHF2 can cause superficial hydroduoric acid-type bums. Areas of skin that have been in contact with potassium biduoride should be washed as soon as possible with mildly alkaline soaps or borax-containing hand cleaners. If there has been contact with the eyes, they should be washed well with water and a physician should be consulted. 

Isopropa.nola.mines. Reaction of propylene oxide with ammonia yields mono-, di-, and triisopropanolamines. These products find use as soluble oils and solvents, emulsifiers, waterless hand cleaners, cosmetics, cleaners, and detergents. In industrial apphcations isopropanolamines are used in adhesives, agricultural products, corrosion inhibitors, coatings, epoxy resins, metalworking, and others (51).

Sodium alcohol sulfates are also used in the formulation of synthetic soaps and paste hand cleaners, commonly together with other surfactants and as tablet disintegrators in the case of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Sodium, but preferably ammonium and alkanolamine salts, is also used in liquid soaps. 

It is known that fluorinated HDPE containers are highly suitable for the packaging of numerous other products such as adhesive systems, oil-based paints, polishes, hand cleaners, and hydrocarbon solvents.12... 

The refined waxes and oils have a wide variety of end uses eg in the manufacture of hand cleaners, hair pomades, milking creams, waxed food cartons, chewing gum, desensitiser in the explosives industry, crayons, candles, printing ink, industrial jellies, water proofing, carbon paper wax, hot melt adhesives, paints, varnishes and many others. 

Pemulen resins provide efficient and stable emulsification of d-limonene solvent in waterless hand cleaners and hard surface cleaners... 

Because of the widespread applications of surface chemistry, practically all industries, knowingly or otherwise, make use of the principles of surface chemistry. Countless cosmetic and pharmaceutical products are emulsions—lotions, creams, ointments, suppositories, etc. Food emulsions include milk, margarine, salad dressings and sauces. Adhesive emulsions, emulsion paints, self-polishing waxes, waterless hand cleaners and emulsifiable insecticide concentrates are commonplace examples of emulsions, which fall within the province of surface chemistry. Other products winch function in accordance with the principles of smface chemistry include detergents of every variety, fabric softeners, antistatic agents, mold releases, dispersants and flocculants. 

Ethanol is an effective antiseptic used to sterilize skin before an injection. It also is found in antiseptic hand cleaners. 

The most widespread use of limonene has been as a raw material for the manufacture of adhesives, such as the glue on labels and envelopes. Terpene monomers used for resin production are pinene, dipentene from turpentine and rf-limonene. Waterless hand cleaners produced from d-limonene were among the first to replace solvents such as mineral spirits. Although ri-limoncnc is more expensive than mineral spirits and kerosene, the former is used because of the pleasant citrus aroma and its claimed biodegradability (Coleman, 1975 Kutty et al., 1994). Many flavor chemicals...
