European production can only partly cover these needs, while the rest is imported. Nearly 70 million units of large appliances per year are produced in Europe. 

The turnover of the household appliance industry is about 35 billion Euro, of which about 63% come from large appliances, 17% from small appliances, and 20% from heating, ventilation and air conditioning appliances. 

The European production figures for large appliances are given in Fig. 2.3 [2]. They comprise ...

There is only limited scope for growth in the European household appliance industry, as could be shown for large appliances. While quality has been improved -e.g. improved energy efficiency - average real prices of the appliances have continued to drop over the past years. As a consequence, pressure to cut costs has been building up and led to the transfer of production facilities to countries with lower labor costs [3],...

The sensor application trends in small household appliances are similar to those for large appliances. Additionally, the following features are required ... 

Texas. In Texas, regulators restrict emissions rather than equipment. Emissions are limited across the board for certain industries. Limits (lb/gal) are specified for particular coatings in other industries. For example large appliances, 2.8 furniture, 3.0 coil coatings, 2.6 automotive OEM—primers, 1.2 if submersed and 2.8 if sprayed, topcoats, 2.8, and repair, 4.8 miscellaneous metal—color, 2.5, top clear-coat, 4.3, and all others, 3.0.

Another way of producing highly crosslinked polyesters (see Exercise 64) is to use glycerol. Alkyd resins are a polymer of this type. The polymer forms very tough coatings when baked onto a surface and is used in paints for automobiles and large appliances. Draw the structure of the polymer formed from the condensation of...

Other than packaging, collectible items are automobile, light truck and large appliance shredded residue carpets wire and cable coverings and tailings— plastic containing streams recoverable from MSWs. 

Major appliances consume large quantities of steel and aluminum that must be coated to prevent corrosion. Cold roll steel and enameling iron (for porcelain) are the predominant metals used in large appliances. 

Initial olefin applications will likely focus on the agricultural/industrial, packaging, medical, wire cable, automotive, large appliance, and housewares/toys markets, but additional uses are expected to develop as the technology proliferates. 

Concentrates (also known as masterbatches) of bicyclic dicaiboxylate salt (e.g., disodium bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylate, commercial product known as HPN-68) are nucleating additives used to facilitate typical thermoplastic manufacturing processes. " They impart high peak crystallization temperatures. They are suitable for use in small and large appliances. ... 

Polypropylene is widely used in both small and large appliances. In small appliances, like electric drip coffee makers, can openers, blenders, and mixers, and in tools, like electric drills, PPs ease of molding, light weight, stiffness, durability, electrical properties, appearance, and cost make it a very attfactive resin choice. Homopolymers and impact copolymers are both used, with an MFR of around 12 g/10 min being the norm. 

In the large appliance category, properly stabilized and often filled PP is used in parts such as dishwasher liners, which take the place of porcelain interiors, and in washing machine agitators, soap and bleach dispensers, and other parts. 

PEI resins have been used in a variety of applications such as electrical connectors, internal computer parts, printed-circuit boards, flexible circuits, optical fiber connectors, fire helmets, large appliances, aircraft interiors, trays, microwave cookware, reflectors, motor parts, gears, pumps, lubrication systems, wire coating, industrial applications, bearings, small appliances, films, and fibers. Polyetherimides are used in a wide range of applications. A few of the key markets for PEI resins and some of the benefits they bring to the application are summarized below.
