One of the more widely used lacquer products is fingernail polish. A lacquer consists of a polymer solution to which a pigment has been added. The film is formed simply by evaporation of the solvent, leaving the pigment trapped in the polymer film. Since no chemical change occurs in the polymer, it retains its original solubility characteristics. Hence, a major drawback of lacquers is their poor solvent resistance. 

Filiform corrosion may occur on products coated with paint or lacquer, especially on lacquered products for buildings. It develops preferentially at coating defects (scratches, lacerations). Meteorological factors are of paramount importance because filiform corrosion occurs especially in marine and humid atmospheres and develops rather quickly, before the fifth year of exposure. While it does not affect the mechanical characteristics of aluminium semi-products, it degrades the overall appearance of a building (see Section B.2.6). 

In the Meiji period, the end of the 19th century, Japanese lacquer products became very fashionable world wide and the European market demanded considerable amounts of Japanese lacquer ware. A new art form was developed to satisfy the European market. 

The presence of the unsaturated substituent along this polyester backbone gives this polymer crosslinking possibilities through a secondary reaction of the double bond. These polymers are used in paints, varnishes, and lacquers, where the ultimate cross-linked product results from the oxidation of the double bond as the coating cures. A cross-linked polyester could also result from reaction (5.J) without the unsaturated carboxylic acid, but the latter would produce a gel in which the entire reaction mass solidified and is not as well suited to coatings applications as the polymer that crosslinks upon drying. ... 

Because tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is virtuaHy colorless, it is used in lacquer formulations for aH colors as weU as water-white clear products. More speciftcaHy, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is a wetting dispersant for most pigments. It has a high boiling point, high toluene dilution ratio, and good miscibility with oils, eg, linseed and soya, and is an exceUent solvent for a wide range of resins. 

Tripoli. TripoH [1317-95-9] is a fine grained, porous, decomposed siHceous rock produced mainly in Arkansas, Illinois, and Oklahoma. It is widely used for polishing and buffing metals, lacquer finishing, and plated products. Since tripoH particles are rounded, not sharp, it has a mild abrasive action particularly suited for polishing. TripoH is also used in toothpastes, in jewelry polishing, and as filler in paints, plastics, and mbber. Rottenstone and amorphous siHca are similar to tripoH and find the same uses. In 1987 the abrasive use of tripoH in the United States totaled 26.6 million tons and was valued at about 3.1 million however, the portion used as a filler totaled 71.1 million tons and had a value of almost 10 million (4). 

Acrylics. Acetone is converted via the intermediate acetone cyanohydrin to the monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA) [80-62-6]. The MMA is polymerized to poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to make the familiar clear acryUc sheet. PMMA is also used in mol ding and extmsion powders. Hydrolysis of acetone cyanohydrin gives methacrylic acid (MAA), a monomer which goes direcdy into acryUc latexes, carboxylated styrene—butadiene polymers, or ethylene—MAA ionomers. As part of the methacrylic stmcture, acetone is found in the following major end use products acryUc sheet mol ding resins, impact modifiers and processing aids, acryUc film, ABS and polyester resin modifiers, surface coatings, acryUc lacquers, emulsion polymers, petroleum chemicals, and various copolymers (see METHACRYLIC ACID AND DERIVATIVES METHACRYLIC POLYMERS). 

Cheese products generally must be maintained under refrigeration using closed flexible plastic, or plastic cups or tubs for packaging. Ice cream packaging is generally minimal, ie, lacquered or polyethylene extmsion-coated paper-board cartons, molded plastic tubs, or spinal wound composite paperboard tubs or cartons. 

Types of internal enamel for food containers include oleoresins, vinyl, acryflc, phenoHc, and epoxy—phenoHc. Historically can lacquers were based on oleoresinous products. PhenoHc resins have limited flexibiHty and high bake requirements, but are used on three-piece cans where flexibiHty is not required. Vinyl coatings are based on copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate dissolved in ketonic solvents. These can be blended with alkyd, epoxy, and phenoHc resins to enhance performance. FlexibiHty allows them to be used for caps and closures as weU as drawn cans. Their principal disadvantage is high sensitivity to heat and retorting processes this restricts their appHcation to cans which are hot filled, and to beer and beverage products. 

Polymers are only marginally important in main memories of semiconductor technology, except for polymeric resist films used for chip production. For optical mass memories, however, they are important or even indispensable, being used as substrate material (in WORM, EOD) or for both substrate material and the memory layer (in CD-ROM). Peripheral uses of polymers in the manufacturing process of optical storage media are, eg, as binder for dye-in-polymer layers or as surfacing layers, protective overcoatings, uv-resist films, photopolymerization lacquers for repHcation, etc. 

Tetrahydronaphthalene [119-64-2] (Tetralin) is a water-white Hquid that is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in methyl alcohol, and completely soluble in other monohydric alcohols, ethyl ether, and most other organic solvents. It is a powerhil solvent for oils, resins, waxes, mbber, asphalt, and aromatic hydrocarbons, eg, naphthalene and anthracene. Its high flash point and low vapor pressure make it usehil in the manufacture of paints, lacquers, and varnishes for cleaning printing ink from rollers and type in the manufacture of shoe creams and floor waxes as a solvent in the textile industry and for the removal of naphthalene deposits in gas-distribution systems (25). The commercial product typically has a tetrahydronaphthalene content of >97 wt%, with some decahydronaphthalene and naphthalene as the principal impurities. 

Use. Titanium dioxide is mainly used in the production of paints and lacquers (55—60%), plastics (15—20%), and paper ( 15%). Other apphcations include the pigmentation of printing inks, mbber, textiles (qv), leather, synthetic fibers, ceramics, white cement, and cosmetics. 

Another significant appHcation for amyl alcohols is for production of amyl acetates. Production of amyl acetates in 1987 is estimated to have been 4.5-5.5 X 10 t about 50% of the domestic demand is for lacquers (150). Union Carbide Chemicals and Plastics Company Inc. is the only U.S. producer. 

The principal component of primary amyl alcohol, 1-pentanol, although itself a good solvent, is useful for the preparation of specific chemicals such as pharmaceuticals and other synthetics (153,154). Production of primary amyl acetate and its esters for solvent appHcations has seen low growth since the 1970s because of the decline of nitroceUulose lacquers and the introduction of new solvent systems. 

The reaction products of TYZOR TPT with 2—4 moles of 1,3-diols having two to three alkyl substituents, such as 2,2,4-trimethyl-l,3-pentanediol, gives complexes that could be used as cross-linking agents for hydroxy group containing powdered lacquer resins (76). 

Methyl isoamyl ketone (MIAK), a product derived from the aldol condensation of isobutyraldehyde and acetone, is used principally as a solvent for lacquers, ceUulosics, and epoxies. 

Table 11 Hsts the types and appHcations of special pigment-grade carbon blacks. Included in this Hst are thermal black and lampblack. Over 40 special black grades have been developed based on the furnace process having a broad range of surface areas, from 20 m /g to over 1500 m /g. The lower surface area products are used in printing inks and tinting. The high area, more expensive products find use in high color enamels and lacquers.
