Manila products

Nonwood fibers are used in relatively small volumes. Examples of nonwood pulps and products include cotton Enters for writing paper and filters, bagasse for cormgated media, esparto for filter paper, or Manila hemp for tea bags. Synthetic pulps which are based on such materials as glass (qv) and polyolefins also are used (see Olefin polymers). These pulps are relatively expensive and usually are used in blends with wood pulps where they contribute a property such as tear resistance, stiffness, or wet strength which is needed to meet a specific product requirement. 

Natural resins such as dammar and Manila copal have been described in U.S. FDA Regulations (3). The Material Safety Data Sheets for these products issued by the importer describe them as nontoxic and nonaUergenic.

Cotton and Linen Cloth, etc.— The two most important sources of cellulose for the manufacture of thread and cloth and similar articles are the holl of the cotton plant and the stalk of the flax plant. The former is the source of all goods known as cotton while the materials made from the latter are termed linen. Another important fibre plant is hemp, the leaves or stalk of which yields fibres which are principally used in making twine, rope and canvas. Several varieties of hemp are used such as manila hemp, sisal, etc. The stalk of ihtjute plant is the source of materials out of which sacking or burlap and carpets are made.. In the manufacture of these products the fibre of the plant is mechanically separated and then spun into thread or twisted into yarn or rope. The thread or yarn are then woven into fabrics. The products possess properties characteristic of the particular fibre used. As in the manufacture of all of these important materials the cellulose undergoes no chemical change but is simply mechanically treated no further details of the processes will be given. 

Arsenic compounds were examined in three marine gastropods from Thailand, Thais bitubercularis, T. distinguenda, and Manila musiva [160], and the presence of arsenobetaine 54 (93-95% of total extractable arsenic), arsenocholine 55 (3.1-4.6%), tetramethylarsonium ion 53 (0.21-2.2%), a new natural product (67), one unknown arsenic compound (each approx. 0.1%), and an unresolved mixture of arsenic compounds (up to 1 %) were observed.

Etemi oil/ratin. E. oil is a colorless to light yellow oil, E. resin a goldeh-yellow to light brown, viscous mass. Production The oil by steam distillation, the resin by solvent extraction (e.g., with toluene) from Manila elemi resins, an exudate from the tree species Cana-rium luzonicum (Burseraceae) growing in the Philippines. The odor is fresh, herby-peppety, citrus-like with a woody-balsamic after odor. The odor of the resin is less intense than that of the oil. 

About 50 elemanes known to date comprise p-elemenone from the oil of myrrh, representing the Cope rearrangement product of germacrone, (-)-bicycloelemene from peppermint oils of various provenance (e.g. Mentha piperita or Mentha ar-vensis), and p-elemol which is not only a minor component of Javanese oil of citro-nella but is also found in the elemi oil with an odor like pepper and lemon, expressed from the Manila elemi resin of the tree Canarum luzonicum (Burseraceae). 

Fiber production industries are ricultural and technical. Forestry and other agricultural industries produce large amounts of cellulosic fiber each year. Production of cellulosic fiber peaked at some 3 million metric tons in 1982, representing 21 percent of the fiber market share, but this heavy production has steadily declined since 1982. By 2002, ceUulosic fiber production had decreased to 6 percent of the world fiber-market share. Production in Eastern Europe dropped from 1.1 million metric tons to just 92,000 metric tons, and production in Asia increased by 660,000 metric tons over the same period, accounting for fuUy 69 percent of global production in 2002. Most of the cellulosic fiber that is produced by the forestry industry is used in the manufacture of paper and paper products, while the other cellulosic fiber types—cotton, hemp, sisal, and manila—are used primarily for fabrics, textiles, and cordage.

Varnish based on solutions of amber were used as early as 250 b.c., but the formulations were not documented until a monk named Theophilus described the production of an oil varnish by dissolving resin in hot oil. Amber was one of the resins used at that time. Subsequently, natural resins were obtained from trees in tropical regions. The resins were classified as ancient or fossil, semifossil and recent, depending on when they were separated from the trees. These resins were also named after their geographic source, such as Manila, Batu Dammer, Congo, and Kauri.
