Linoleum

Hydrogen peroxide is also used to bleach soHd surfaces such as wood (qv) or linoleum, and to improve the color of oils and waxes. 

At low latex soHds-to-pulp ratios, ie, 10—20 pph, latex is added to the beaten pulp to give a paper web with superior web strength, elongation, bursting strength, internal bond, and tear strength. The nitrile latices and medium styrene—butadiene are commonly used as beater additions. In a similar manner, latex can be deposited on asbestos fibers. Such compositions are used as gaskets, linoleum bases, etc.

Tables usually are surfaced either with heavy battleship linoleum or with rubber. The riffles may be a clear grade of sugar pine or may be rubber strips. Such riffles usually taper from the feed end of the table to the discharge end. Almost all mill operators employ different styles of riffling table, which they believe best for their particular separations. The usual method of riffling is shown in Fig. 19-28.

There are, however, certain materials used as ingredients in the manufacture of plastics, which almost invariably give a corrosive product. Included in this category are wood, which is frequently used as a filler or as part of a composite drying oils, used in paints, adhesives, jointing compounds and linoleum and esters of volatile acids frequently retained in certain cold setting formulations, especially some paints. ... 

About 10% of the ethylene produced in the U.S. is used to make vinyl chloride, which in the chemical trade is usually referred to as vinyl chloride monomer or VCM. The largest use of VCM is for polymerization to poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), a thermoplastic, which in terms of volume is second only to polyethylene. PVC is used in such diverse areas as containers, floor coverings (linoleum), plastic pipes, raincoats, and many, many others. PVC has an evironmental disadvantage over non-chlorine containing plastics in that when it is disposed of by incineration it produces hydrogen chloride, which dissolves in atmospheric water to give hydrochloric acid. Polyethylene does not have this undesirable feature.

The use of oleochemicals in polymers has a long tradition. One can differentiate between the use as polymer materials, such as linseed oil and soybean oil as drying oils, polymer stabilizers and additives, such as epoxidized soybean oil as plasticizer, and building blocks for polymers, such as dicarboxylic acids for polyesters or polyamides (Table 4.2) [7]. Considering the total market for polymers of ca. 150 million tonnes in 1997 the share of oleochemical based products is relatively small - or, in other terms, the potential for these products is very high. Without doubt there is still a trend in the use of naturally derived materials for polymer applications, especially in niche markets. As an example, the demand for linseed oil for the production of linoleum has increased from 10000 tonnes in 1975 to 50 000 tonnes in 1998 (coming from 120000 tonnes in 1960 ) [8a]. Epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) as a plastic additive has a relatively stable market of ca. 100000 tonnes year-1 [8b]. 

Functional/System Substitution Substitution may also occur at a higher level. The function of the carpet (in this case) is to provide a floor covering. Other alternatives that also fulfil this need are e.g. linoleum, sisal flooring. 

Arsenic sesquisulfide occurs in nature as the mineral orpiment. It is used as a pigment in the manufacture of infrared-transmitting glass in semiconductors and photoconductors in pyrotechnics in linoleum and oil cloth for the removal of hairs from hides and as a reducing agent. 

When manufacturing chlorate explosives, it is of extreme importance to observe the safety code which demands the highest possible purity, the removal of all chlorate dust settling on furniture, clothes etc. The workers foot-wear should be wooden soled, since nails in soles not infrequently cause accidents. The floor in the premises should be covered with linoleum or magnesia cement. 

Other areas of application for TiOz pigments include the enamel and ceramic industries, the manufacture of white cement, and the coloring of rubber and linoleum.
