Paints continued

For some reason, he has to go upstairs to turn off the machine (although it appears to be fully portable and self-contained) and this takes an inordinate length of time as the painting continues to suffer. 

In architectural paints, continuous films are formed even in cold weather water-stains are sealed effectively with no bleed-through and fresh films are not removed by rain. 

Note well that the long, steady trend toward water-based paints continues unabated. In the four principle classes, sixty percent of water-based paints have vehicles which mainly are latexes synthesized from vinyl acetate and several acrylate esters, all derived from petrochemicals such as ethylene. The other 40% are still made mainly from conventional solvent-based alkyds, but there is new interest in transforming these alkyds into water-based alkyds, where sucrose may find new opportunities. 

The historic use for turpentine as a solvent in varnishes and paints continues today in some countries - e.g., about 20% of Soviet production is still so used (15). However, most turpentine is now being used as a chemical raw material. Thus,... 

In the absence of a suitably illuminated constant temperature room, a case 7 ft. high, 6 ft. wide, and 2 ft. deep is adapted to the purpose. The case is provided with glass shelves and with glass walls at each end. The insides of the front, back, top, and bottom are coated with aluminum paint. Continuous illumination is supplied by two 100 watt white fluorescent lamps at each end of the cabinet. Heat is furnished by four 60 watt incandescent lamps thermostatically controlled and located in the center of the top of the case. A circulating air system, cooled during the summer months, may be necessary to keep the temperature at 28 0.5 °C. 

Rusting can be prevented by painting or coating with a continuous layer of another metal which does not itself corrode rapidly, for example zinc or tin. More recently, steel has been coated with plastics by electrophonetic decomposition from an emulsion of the plastic. 

Emulsion polymerization also has the advantages of good heat transfer and low viscosity, which follow from the presence of the aqueous phase. The resulting aqueous dispersion of polymer is called a latex. The polymer can be subsequently separated from the aqueous portion of the latex or the latter can be used directly in eventual appUcations. For example, in coatings applications-such as paints, paper coatings, floor pohshes-soft polymer particles coalesce into a continuous film with the evaporation of water after the latex has been applied to the substrate. 

Static mixers are used ia the chemical iadustries for plastics and synthetic fibers, eg, continuous polymeri2ation, homogeni2ation of melts, and blending of additives ia extmders food manufacture, eg, oils, juices, beverages, milk, sauces, emulsifications, and heat transfer cosmetics, eg, shampoos, hquid soaps, cleaning Hquids, and creams petrochemicals, eg, fuels and greases environmental control, eg, effluent aeration, flue gas/air mixing, and pH control and paints, etc. 

Safety Showers. Safety showers and eyewash fountains or hoses should be installed where corrosive or toxic materials are handled. A large-volume, low velocity discharge from directly overhead should effect continuous drenching, ie, a minimum flow of 20 L/min (50 gal /min). Water to outside showers may be heated to a maximum temperature of 27°C by an electric heating cable. The valves for all safety showers should be at the same height and relative position to the shower head, and they should operate in the same way and direction. The shower station should be identified by paint of a bright, contrasting color. In areas where chemicals harmful to the eyes may be encountered, an eyewash fountain or spray should be available in case of splash accidents.
