PEELS characteristics

Early adhesives would just have contained the epoxy resin and hardener, and although strong bonds were obtained, particularly when subjected to shear stresses, they were inherently brittle, that is, they possessed very poor peel characteristics. A better understanding of their formulating potential has significantly changed this situation and, nowadays, unmodified epoxy adhesives have a relatively low market share of the business. 

Iron. This is a specialty drier that is considered active at temperatures of about 130°C. For this reason iron 2-ethyIhexanoate [19583-54-1] is used in bake coatings that require maximum hardness. The principal drawback of using iron driers is that iron contributes a characteristic brownish red color to the coating and should only be used in dark pigmented systems. It has been reported that iron aids the dispersion of carbon black pigment and reduces the tendency for orange peel film defects (6).

PDMS macromonomer was used as a component of block segment to obtain a graft block copolymer with PMMA (Scheme 1) [51-53]. This graft block copolymer is characteristic of surface water repellence, easy peeling, and weatherability superior to simple graft copolymers of the same members. PDMS-b-PVC film also shows long life surface water repellency with weatherability and very low coefficiency of abrasion [18,54].

Lemon oil is obtained by pressing peel from the fruits of Citrus limon (L.) Burm. (Rutaceae). It is a pale yellow or pale greenish-yellow to dark green liquid with a characteristic lemon peel odor. 

Distilled lime oils are produced by steam distillation of an oil-juice emulsion that is obtained by chopping the whole fruit. The acid present in the juice acts on the oil released from the peel and changes its characteristics. The original components are modified to form a series of new compounds. The main constituent is still limonene. 

Mandarin oil is obtained by cold pressing the peel of mandarin oranges, the fruits of Citrus reticulata Blanco (Rutaceae). The oil is a greenish-yellow to reddish-orange liquid, depending on the degree of ripeness of the fruit, with a pale blue fluorescence and a characteristic odor, reminiscent of mandarin peel. 

Sweet orange oil is obtained from the peel of the fruits of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck. It is a yellow to reddish-yellow liquid with the characteristic odor of orange peel and may become cloudy when chilled. Sweet orange oil is often produced in combination with orange juice (e.g., in the United States, Brazil, Israel, and Italy). 

Mandarin peel oil volatiles contain many of the same volatiles as orange peel oil however, there are a few differences such as elevated levels of dimethyl an-thranilate and thymol. It has been reported [54] that the characteristic mandarin peel oil aroma was due to a combination of dimethyl anthranilate, thymol, a-terpinene and /1-pinene. 

Polymethoxylated flavones are also characteristic of orange peel oils, and PMF determination has been used to ascertain the geographical origin of industrial peel oils (110). A normal-phase HPLC method for the determination of flavones in orange and mandarin oils was developed by Gaydou and co-workers (111). Using the normal-phase mode with a Licrosorb Si60... 

Comminutes. The process of comminution refers only to citrus products, where the oils that reside in the flavedo (coloured peel) have intense flavour characteristics. At its simplest, comminution involves taking a complete orange (or other citrus fruit) and making a pulp from it. This pulp will have a much more intense flavour than juice alone but because of the presence of much peel and albedo (pith) it would be unacceptable in taste to most consumers. Thus, the process of comminute production, developed in the immediate postwar years, is typically as set out in Figure 6.1. 

Another interesting characteristic of the fruit category is that juices tend to be far less contaminated than their parent fruit (i.e., except for pineapple). This suggests that synthetic chemicals remain in the rind or peel of the parent fruit. This is also consistent with canned peaches and pears that have far fewer contaminants than the whole fruit.
