Oils and Solvents

The part may need to be in contact with service fluids such as mineral and vegetable based oils. The selection of the correct polymer depends on the exact nature of the fluid and the service temperature. For mineral oils a polychloroprene or acrylonitrile -butadiene copolymer based compound may be appropriate but small variations in lubricant constituents make it worthwhile to measure the changes that can occur at operating temperatures to properties such as modulus and tear resistance. For solvents it may be more viable to use a physical sheath of an impervious material such as polytetrafluoroethylene. Swelling or shrinkage is strongly influenced by the nature of fillers and oils used to compound the rubber.

A mixed polymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile (Perbunan, Hycar, Chemigum) may be vulcanised like rubber and possesses good resistance to oils and solvents in general. 

Natural Products. Various methods have been and continue to be employed to obtain useful materials from various parts of plants. Essences from plants are obtained by distillation (often with steam), direct expression (pressing), collection of exudates, enfleurage (extraction with fats or oils), and solvent extraction. Solvents used include typical chemical solvents such as alcohols and hydrocarbons. Liquid (supercritical) carbon dioxide has come into commercial use in the 1990s as an extractant to produce perfume materials. The principal forms of natural perfume ingredients are defined as follows the methods used to prepare them are described in somewhat general terms because they vary for each product and suppHer. This is a part of the industry that is governed as much by art as by science. 

Vehicles. The soHd pigments are dispersed iato the ink vehicle, which consists of a combination of resia, oil, and solvent. The solvent is absorbed by the paper, leaving a partially dry ink film of resia and oil that biads the pigment to the paper. This film then hardens by oxidation. Oxidation of the vehicle is aided by varnish driers, ie, metallic salts. Cobalt driers are considered the most effective (see Driers and metallic soaps). 

Isopropa.nola.mines. Reaction of propylene oxide with ammonia yields mono-, di-, and triisopropanolamines. These products find use as soluble oils and solvents, emulsifiers, waterless hand cleaners, cosmetics, cleaners, and detergents. In industrial apphcations isopropanolamines are used in adhesives, agricultural products, corrosion inhibitors, coatings, epoxy resins, metalworking, and others (51).

Nittile mbber is much like SBR in its physical properties. It can be compounded for physical strength and abrasion resistance using traditional fillers such as carbon black, siUca, and reinforcing clays. The primary benefit of the polymer is its oil and solvent resistance. At a medium ACN content of 34% the swell in IRM 903 oil at 70°C is typically 25—30%. Nitrile mbber processes on conventional mbber equipment and can be compression, transfer, or injection molded. It can also be extmded easily. 

Vinyl Acetate—Ethylene Copolymers. In these random copolymers, the ratio of ethylene to vinyl acetate (EVA) is varied from 30—60%. As the vinyl acetate content increases, the oil and heat resistance increases. With higher ethylene content the physical strength, tensile, and tear increases. The polymers are cured with peroxide. The main properties of these elastomers include heat resistance, moderate oil and solvent resistance, low compression set, good weather resistance, high damping, exceUent o2one resistance, and they can be easily colored (see Vinyl polymers, poly(VINYL acetate)). 

Oxidized castor oils are excellent nonmigrating, nonvolatile plasticizers (qv) for ceUulosic resins, poly(vinyl butyral), polyamides, shellac, and natural and synthetic mbber (see Rubber, natural). The high viscosity products are also used as tackifiers in gasket compounds and adhesives (qv) because of good oil and solvent resistance. They also serve as excellent pigment grinding media and as a base for inks (qv), lubricating oils, and hydrauHc oils (62). 

Poly(butadiene- (9-acrylonitrile) [9008-18-3] NBR (64), is another commercially significant random copolymer. This mbber is manufactured by free-radical emulsion polymerization. Important producers include Copolymer Rubber and Chemical (Nysyn), B. F. Goodrich (Hycar), Goodyear (Chemigum), and Uninoyal (Paracdl). The total U.S. production of nitrile mbber (NBR) in 1990 was 95.6 t (65). The most important property of NBR mbber is its oil resistance. It is used in oil well parts, fuels, oil, and solvents (64) (see Elastomers, synthetic— nitrile rubber). 

In the hard polymer/elastomer combinations, the elastomer is often chosen to be a polar mbber or it is cross-linked in some cases it is both. Either of these features improves the resistance to oils and solvents (44).

Silicone rubbers find use because of their excellent thermal and electrical properties, their physiological inertness and their low compression set. Use is, however, restricted because of their poor hydrocarbon oil and solvent resistance (excepting the fluorosilicones), the low vulcanisate strength and the somewhat high cost. 

For resistance to acid conditions alone, traditional filled and unfilled bituminous solutions (which have economic advantages), chlorinated rubber and shellac have been used. Crosslinking coatings, e.g. amine-cured epoxy resins, often blended with coal-tar which develops resistance to oils and solvents, have obvious advantages on chemical plant. 

As previously stated, polyurethanes do not have the degree of chemical resistance enjoyed by the other elastomers. Specially designed chemical resistant polyurethanes are suitable for use in dilute non-oxidative acids and salts, but are not normally suitable for alkalis. They show good resistance to oils and solvents. Maximum temperature of use is usually about 80°C, but this temperature is very dependent on the chemical environment.

In order to understand the relationship between the mixture component, physical properties and consumer acceptance of the lipstick, various lipstick formulations have to be produced. The physical properties of each formulation should be studied. The consumer acceptance towards the product also should be investigated. However, only a part of this work will be discussed in this paper. Here, natural waxes, oils and solvent have been used to produce natural ingredient based lipstick formulations based on the formulation suggested by the statistical mixture design. Contour plot and response surface graph were formed in order to understand the relationship between the mixture component and physical characteristic of the lipstick. 

Natural ingredients based lipstick formulations have been prepared. The effects of the natural waxes, oils and solvent compositions on the viscosity and melting point of the lipstick have been studied. The result indicates that the viscosity and melting point of the lipstick can be manipulated by changing the composition of natural candelilla wax, camauba wax and beeswax in the formulation. Another important lipstick characteristic, which is hardness, will be studied. Consumer acceptance towards the product will be investigated. Finally, by relating the consumer data and instrumentation analysis, optimisation process will be conducted. 

After these subcategorization bases were evaluated, raw waste characterization was selected as the basis for subcategorization. The raw waste characterization is divided into two components, inorganic and organic wastes. These components are further subdivided into the specific types of wastes that occur within the components. Inorganics include common metals, precious metals, complexed metals, hexavalent chromium, and cyanide. Organics include oils and solvents. 

Some chemicals, such as oil and solvents, can evaporate, which means they change from liquids to gases within the soil. If these gases escape to the air at the surface, sunlight may destroy them. 

SRC pilot plant. An analysis and distillation data for the solvent are shown in Table 2. The solvent contained 5 percent of material boiling below 232 C, the cutoff point between light oil and solvent in the product distillation, and 4-5 percent of material boiling above 482 C, the cutoff point between solvent and SRC. 

Nitrile rubbers have high resistance to oils and organic solvents, and, although their mechanical properties are not as good as those of natural rubber, they are subject to much less deterioration in the presence of oils and solvents. They are not resistant to ozone attack.

Whilst the poor resistance to oil and solvents is a drawback in some applications, it is a positive advantage in solution processing applications, e.g., adhesive production. 

Air emissions may arise from fugitive propane emissions and process vents. These include heater stack gas (carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter) as well as hydrocarbon emission, such as fugitive propane and fugitive solvents. Steam stripping wastewater (oil and solvents) and solvent recovery wastewater (oil and propane) are also produced.

General Electric Company, under an EPA permit, incinerated nearly 6,000 L (1,500 gal.) of 20% liquid DDT formulations in a liquid injection incinerator near Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in September 1974 (4). The facility utilized a vortex combustor of the type normally used for disposal of oils and solvents. Operating temperatures ranged from 870 to 980°C with retention times of 3 to 4 s and 120 to 160% excess air. Overall destruction efficiency exceeded 99.99%. Concentrations of DDT, DDE, and DDD in the stack gas and scrubber water were below analytical detection limits.
