Miscellaneous additives

There are many other additives besides those listed here. The most important additives omitted from this report are colomants and fibre reinforcements. Both these are often classified under separate headings from additives, especially by the leading market analysts who report on trends in demand. 

Polarising additives. They are incorporated in clear plastics for use in simglasses and certain instruments 

Rodent repellents to deter rodents, termites and other creatures from chewing cable insulation 

Surfactants, nucleating agents and catalysts used in foaming processes Thixotropic additives for gel coat resins to control flow on the mould Tribological additives that reduce mechanical wear by friction. 

TLC and IR spectroscopy (Romano and co-workers [126]) have been used to determine antistatic agents in PE, and lubricants and plasticisers in PVC. 

Schroder [38] has reviewed work [25, 78, 127-137] carried out on the applications of TLC to plastics additives such as plasticisers [127-129, 135], stabilisers, antioxidants, UV absorbers, lubricants, antistatic agents and optical brighteners. 

Type of rubber additive Development solvents Spray detection reagent 

Amine antioxidants Benzene - acetone - concentrated ammonium hydroxide (100 5 0.1) 4% Benzoyl peroxide in benzene 

Amine hydrochlorides -Butanol - water - formic acid (5 1 1) Ninhydrin 

The previous sections have described the main components of typical ED resist formulations, although they often also contain additional compounds to control certain resist properties more finely. Some selected examples are given here. 

Some negative-working resists contain an inhibitor compound, usually based on hydroquinone, that prevents spurious thermal crosslinking of the monomer on standing, thereby increase shelf life. 

Many types of industrial by-products and chemicals have potential for use in concrete. They are too numerous to mention. Experiments have been carried out to assess the possibility of using them in practice. The thermal techniques have been applied to monitor the hydration of mixes containing these substances. These techniques also provide valuable data on the durability aspects. In this section, a few of those that are not covered in other sections are described.

Unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleates and others used as water-proofers, afFeetthe hydration of cement. The tricalcium silicate peak in the calorimetry is unaffected, but the ettringite and monosulfate reactions are affected substantially.  

A composite concrete material containing polymers and cement has superior properties to those of conventional concrete. Several types of polymer concretes have been fabricated and examined for their

Miscellaneous Additives. These include lubricants, surfactants, thickeners, geUants, defoamers, and preservatives. 

Many other miscellaneous additions of alcohols have been described. Polar addition of methanol to 2//-pyrroles264 and to azepines265 has been observed. Photoaddition of methanol to the 1,3,4-oxadiazole 320 is followed by cycloelimination of methyl benzoate (321) to give the ylid 322.266 An adduct (323) of the ylid and the 1,3,4-oxadiazole has been isolated. Photoaddition of methanol to the quaternary ammonium salt 324 results in ring expansion and the formation of the azonine 325.267... 

Due to the large number of references which appeared to be worth mentioning, it became necessary to divide this review into two parts. The present part deals mainly with pyridazines as chemotherapeutics, antithrombotics, antise-cretory and anti-ulcer agents, analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents as well as with various central nervous system stimulants and depressants. Part 2 of this review, which is planned for a future volume of this Series, will be devoted mainly to compounds which act on the cardiovascular system and to a discussion of miscellaneous additional pharmacological activities of pyridazine derivatives. 

Update FAIS information on colours, sweeteners and miscellaneous additives, with a view to expanding general, toxicological and legislative data. 

As required by Directive 89/107/EEC, criteria of purity have been drawn up for all the listed food additives (with a couple of exceptions). Purity criteria for all the permitted sweeteners have been prescribed in Directive 95/31/EC,6 as amended, and criteria for all the permitted colours are contained in Directive 95/ 45/EC,7 as amended. Directives that prescribe purity criteria for all the additives authorised under Directive 95/2/EC have been drawn up in stages. Directive 96/ 77/EC8 containing purity criteria for antioxidants and preservatives is amended by Directives 98/86/EC which lays down purity criteria for emulsifiers, stabilisers and thickeners and 2000/63/EC which contains purity criteria for most additives numbered E 500 and above, and for certain other additives not covered in the earlier directives. Purity criteria for most of the few remaining permitted miscellaneous additives are contained in Directive 2001/30/EC however, purity criteria for E 1201 polyvinylpyrrolidone and E 1202 polyvinylpolypyrrolidone are still being considered by the Scientific Committee on Food. Some methods of analysis for verifying prescribed purity criteria have been developed at EU level these are contained in Directive 81/712/EEC.9...

Polydextrose behaves as a dietary fibre and is approved as a fibre in the United States, Japan and Belgium. Its status as a dietary fibre in the rest of the European Union is currently a little unclear. It is permitted for food use in the United Kingdom under The Miscellaneous Additives Regulations and has the E-number E400. 

Techniques and plants for polymerization have become more precise and specific but there is a possibility still that similar grades of the same material made in different units may differ in practice (in features such as the distribution of molecular weights, and colour). It will be appreciated too that many polymers and copolymers are used in combination with other substances— stabilizers, fillers, and miscellaneous additives—all of which (and especially those occurring naturally, like China clay and some types of plasticizer) may themselves differ appreciably from batch to batch.
