Heat-resistant

The highly stable and heat-resistant Silicone oils are very satisfsu tory. Midlsind Silicone or Dow-Coming fluid 650 or 600 (or the equivalent I.C.I. product) is recommended. Their only drawback is their high cost. 

Organosilicon polymers. Silicon resembles carbon in certain respects and attempts have been made to prepare polymers combining carbon and silicon units in the molecule with the object of increasing the heat resistance of polymers. It has been found that the hydrolysis of a dialkyl-dichlorosilicane or an alkyltrichlorosilicane, or a mixture of the two, leads to polymers (Silicones), both solid and liquid, which possess great thermal stability. Thus dimethyldichlorosilicane (I) is rapidly converted by water into the silicol (II), which immediately loses water to give a silicone oil of the type (III) ... 

It is used in certain nickel-based alloys, such as the "Hastelloys(R)" which are heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant to chemical solutions. Molybdenum oxidizes at elevated temperatures. The metal has found recent application as electrodes for electrically heated glass furnaces and foreheaths. The metal is also used in nuclear energy applications and for missile and aircraft parts. Molybdenum is valuable as a catalyst in the refining of petroleum. It has found applications as a filament material in electronic and electrical applications. Molybdenum is an... 

Nylon 6 and 6/6 possess the maximum stiffness, strength, and heat resistance of all the types of nylon. Type 6/6 has a higher melt temperature, whereas type 6 has a higher impact resistance and better processibility. At a sacrifice in stiffness and heat resistance, the higher analogs of nylon are useful primarily for improved chemical resistance in certain environments (acids, bases, and zinc chloride solutions) and for lower moisture absorption. 

Phenyl groups impart resistance to temperature variations, flexibility under heat, resistance to abrasion, and compatibility with organic products.

Furfural reacts with ketones to form strong, crosslinked resins of technical interest in the former Soviet Union the U.S. Air Force has also shown some interest (42,43). The so-called furfurylidene acetone monomer, a mixture of 2-furfurylidene methyl ketone [623-15-4] (1 )> bis-(2-furfurylidene) ketone [886-77-1] (14), mesityl oxide, and other oligomers, is obtained by condensation of furfural and acetone under basic conditions (44,45). Treatment of the "monomer" with an acidic catalyst leads initially to polymer of low molecular weight and ultimately to cross-linked, black, insoluble, heat-resistant resin (46). 

Epoxy resins are also used in special appHcations, such as an overlaying procedure requiring a durable, heat-resistant bond of a difficult-to-bond overlay on a wood-base panel substrate. Metal sheets used as overlays, for example, often require an epoxy adhesive. 

Polyacrylate elastomers find limited use in hydrauhc systems and gasket apphcations because of their superior heat resistance compared to the nitrile mbbers (219,220). Ethylene—acrylate copolymers were introduced in 1975. The apphcations include transmission seals, vibration dampers, dust boots, and steering and suspension seals. Further details and performance comparisons with other elastomers are given in reference 221 (see also Elastomers, SYNTHETIC-ACRYLIC ELASTOTffiRS). 

Nitrile mbber finds broad application in industry because of its excellent resistance to oil and chemicals, its good flexibility at low temperatures, high abrasion and heat resistance (up to 120°C), and good mechanical properties. Nitrile mbber consists of butadiene—acrylonitrile copolymers with an acrylonitrile content ranging from 15 to 45% (see Elastomers, SYNTHETIC, NITRILE RUBBER). In addition to the traditional applications of nitrile mbber for hoses, gaskets, seals, and oil well equipment, new applications have emerged with the development of nitrile mbber blends with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). These blends combine the chemical resistance and low temperature flexibility characteristics of nitrile mbber with the stability and ozone resistance of PVC. This has greatly expanded the use of nitrile mbber in outdoor applications for hoses, belts, and cable jackets, where ozone resistance is necessary.

Thermal Properties. ABS is also used as a base polymer in high performance alloys. Most common are ABS—polycarbonate alloys which extend the property balance achievable with ABS to offer even higher impact strength and heat resistance (2). 

Dimensional Stability. The wet heat resistance of PVA fiber is indicated by the wet softening temperature (WTS) at which the fiber shrinks to a specified ratio. At one time, the WTS was not more than 95°C for nonacetalized PVA fiber, but improvement of WTS has been achieved by improvement in heat-drawing and -treating techniques other methods proposed include suppression of polymerization temperature of vinyl acetate (36) and employment of alkafi spinning (37).
