Not affected by w, aqua regia, chlorosulfonic acid, acetyl chloride, B fluoride, hot nitric acid, boiling solns of NaOH and organic solvents-Not wetted by w. No substance has been found which will dissolve the polymer, but prolonged contact with fluorine, hot plasticizers and polymeric waxes is not recommended (Refs 1 6)... 

C below the melting point. The nature and the size of the exposed surface of the deposit on the leaf surface can be modified by spray adjuvants such as wetting agents, thickeners or particulating agents. The deposited pesticide may also interact with the target surface, with leaf exudates or with the polymeric wax-like surface of cutin. It may also physically penetrate the surface of the leaf. 

Poly(monostearoyl glycerol-co-succinate) containing upto 5% polyethylene glycol, (I), was prepared by Arnold [1] and Nathan [2] and used as a bioabsorbable and biocompatible polymeric wax. Poly(monostearoyl-glyceride-co-succinate) containing 5% A-methyl diethanoamine, (11), was prepared by the author [3] in an earher investigation.

These are polymeric waxes suitable for styrenics, PVC and polyamide. 

Polynorbornenes may be grouped into two classes those that are soluble in toluene and those that precipitate during polymerization. WAXS and C-NMR investigations, as well as high-temperature high-resolution C-NMR investigations of the soluble polymers, confirm the different structures of the polymers and enable a further classification.
