Polyarylates have been employed for electrical and electronic components, firefighter helmets, and appHcations requiring higher heat-deflection temperatures than PC resins. Polyarylates were first used for lighting, especially for small automotive lenses and sodium light outdoor lamps. However, the inherent yellow color and heat-induced darkening have limited appHcations.

Originally developed for tyre cords, Kevlar-type materials have also become widely used in composites. Uses include filament-wound rocket motors and pressure vessels, metal-lined Kevlar-overwrapped vessels in the space shuttle, boat and kayak hulls, Kevlar-epoxy helmets for the US military, and as one of the reinforcements in composite lorry cabs. 

Epoxide resins reinforced with carbon and Aramid fibres have been used in small boats, where it is claimed that products of equal stiffness and more useable space may be produced with a 40% saving in weight over traditional polyester/ glass fibre composites. Aramid fibre-reinforced epoxide resins have been developed in the United States to replace steel helmets for military purposes. Printed circuit board bases also provide a substantial outlet for epoxide resins. One recent survey indicates that over one-quarter of epoxide resin production in Western Europe is used for this application. The laminates also find some use in chermical engineering plant and in tooling. 

Most welding, even with primitive ventilation, does not produce exposures inside the welding helmet above 5 mg/m. That which does, should be controlled.

To avoid injuries of this sort, we should use protective hoods or helmets when breaking joints on lines likely to contain corrosive liquids trapped under pressure, either because the pressure cannot be blown off through a valve or because lines may contain solid deposits.

Polycarbonates are used in a variety of articles such as laboratory safety shields, street light globes, and safety helmets. The maximum usage temperature for polycarbonate objects is 125°C. 

Safety helmets should comply with the relevant British Standards (e.g. BS 5240, BS 4033). If engaged in con-stmction, the Construction (Head Protection) Regulations 1989 must be applied. 

Does it provide a safe working area If in doubt, seek advice, as there are many injuries each year caused by falls or by material dropping from heights. The wearing of safety helmets is a secondary protection and should not be allowed to encourage carelessness. 

Lexan, a polycarbonate prepared from diphenyl carbonate and bisphenol A, is another commercially valuable polyester. Lexan has an unusually high impact strength, making it valuable for use in telephones, bicycle safety helmets, and laptop computer cases. 

The high chemical stability of many polymers is both a blessing and a curse. Heat resistance, wear resistance, and long life are valuable characteristics of clothing fibers, bicycle helmets, underground pipes, food wrappers, and many other items. Yet when those items outlive their usefulness, disposal becomes a problem. 

When Europe exploded into war in 1914, scientists largely abandoned their studies to go to the front. Marie Curie, with her daughter Irene, then 17 years old. organized medical units equipped with X-ray machinery. These were used to locate foreign metallic objects in wounded soldiers. Many of the wounds were to the head French soldiers came out of the trenches without head protection because their government had decided that helmets looked too German. In November of 1918, the Curies celebrated the end of World War I France was victorious, and Marie s beloved Poland was free again.

Polycarbonate It is a tough, transparent plastic that offers resistance to bullets and thrown projectiles in glazing for vehicles, buildings, and security installations. It with stands boiling water, but is less resistant to weather and scratching than acrylics. It is notch-sensitive and has poor solvent resistance in stressed molded products. Use includes coffee makers, food blenders, automobile lenses, safety helmets, lenses, and many nonburning electrical applications. 

NOTE Sampling steam and condensate lines in large process plants such as smelters, pulp and paper plants, steel mills, and the like is potentially dangerous. Site rules must be followed and the use of proper safety equipment employed (safety equipment includes helmet, gloves, goggles, and occasionally a respirator). Under certain operating conditions, confined space permits and tag-out or lock-out rules may be necessary and a minimum of two persons required before work begins.
