FRP, plastics (polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, and other similar materials), and rubber are general use and are recommended for alum solutions. Care must be taken to provide adequate support for these piping systems, with close attention given to spans between supports so that objectionable deflection will not be experienced. The alum solution should be injected into a zone of rapid mixing or turbulent flow. 

Two-piece food cans may be made by a draw-redraw process, in which lacquer is first applied to and cured on sheet. Blanks are then cut from the sheet and the can is drawn from the blank in two or three stages. The lacquer deforms with the drawing process and lubricates the draw. It then becomes the interior protective coating. Although epoxy-phenolic solvent-borne lacquers are used, even better drawing properties are obtained from organosols. These are dispersions of colloidal polyvinyl chloride powder in solutions of other mixed resins in solvent, e.g. chosen from epoxy, polyester, vinyl and phenolic. 

Quite naturally, novel techniques for manufacturing composite materials are in principal rare. The polymerization filling worked out at the Chemical Physics Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences is an example of such techniques [49-51], The essence of the technique lies in that monomer polymerization takes place directly on the filler surface, i.e. a composite material is formed in the polymer forming stage which excludes the necessity of mixing constituents of a composite material. Practically, any material may be used as a filler the use of conducting fillers makes it possible to obtain a composite material having electrical conductance. The material thus obtained in the form of a powder can be processed by traditional methods, with polymers of many types (polyolefins, polyvinyl chloride, elastomers, etc.) used as a matrix. 

This comprehensive article supplies details of a new catalytic process for the degradation of municipal waste plastics in a glass reactor. The degradation of plastics was carried out at atmospheric pressure and 410 degrees C in batch and continuous feed operation. The waste plastics and simulated mixed plastics are composed of polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, and polyethylene terephthalate. In the study, the degradation rate and yield of fuel oil recovery promoted by the use of silica alumina catalysts are compared with the non-catalytic thermal degradation. 9 refs. lAPAN... 

One outlet for polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride waste is plastic lumber. These materials, often containing more than one polymer and a wide variety of additives, provide superior weather resistance in humid environments when compared to natural wood. To manufacture these materials, the compound incorporates compatibilizers, which allow dissimilar polymers to mix evenly, Additionally, they assist in the incorporation of fillers and additives, such as wood flour, calcium carbonate, and pigments. 

Suspension polymerization. In this process, monomers and initiator are suspended as droplets in water or a similar medium. The droplets are maintained in suspension by agitation (active mixing). Sometimes a water-soluble polymer like methylcellulose or a finely divided clay is added to help stabilize or maintain the droplets. After formation, the polymer, is separated and dried. This route is used commercially for vinyl-type polymers such as polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene. 

Morrow makes a point of calling the system designed at CPRR a "resin recovery system, to stress the fact that it will work on about five different resins. Currently PET and HDPE can be processed together and are easily separated because of their different densities. The center hopes to add polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride to the mixed plastics stream they process. But, with the present technology, PET and PVC cannot be run together since they have similar densities. 

Administer bivalirudin via an IV line. Do not mix other medications with bivalirudin before or during administration. No incompatibilities have been observed with glass bottles or polyvinyl chloride bags and administration sets. 

Some substances are used to intensify the color of pyrotechnic formulations. For example, polyvinyl chloride, hexachlorobenzene (HCB) or other organic chlorides mixed with barium and copper salts are used to produce green color whereas strontium salts produce red color. 

Polymerized vinyl chloride as a homopolymer is hard and brittle, making it difficult to work and impractical as a commercial material. In 1926, Waldo Lonsbury Semon (1898—1999) was working for B. F. Goodrich searching for a synthetic rubber that could adhere to metal objects. Semon examined vinyl chloride and found that when polyvinyl chloride powder was mixed in certain solvents, he obtained a stiff gel that could be molded into a plastic material. The material s hardness and pliability depended on the mix of solvent and polyvinyl chloride. Semon...

Chlorparaffins. These are produced hy ihe random chlorination or various mixed Inng-chain paraffins. They are used as secondary plasticizers lor polyvinyl chloride, lubricating oil additives, resinous materials for coalings, and in llatiie-relardanls. 

Phosphites. The phosphates, second only to phthalates in production volume, are favored for flame resistance and low volatility. Tricresyl phosphate (mixed meta and para isomers) is the most popular it is used in polyvinyl chloride and in nitrocellulose lacquers. Resins plasticized with tricresyl phosphate are deficient in low-temperature flexibility. Diphenyl cresyl phosphate and triphenyl phosphate are other examples, the former for polyvinyl chloride, the latter for cellulose acetate. Diphenyl-2-ethylhexylphosphate is preferred to tricresyl phosphate in polyvinyl chloride where its low toxicity and improved low-temperature flexibility are required. Tn(2-elliylliexyl)-phosphale is outstanding among phosphates used in polyvinyl chloride with respect to low-temperature flexibility in flame- and oil resistance, however, it is inferior to tricresyl phosphate. Tri(butoxvethyl)phosphate finds some use in synthetic rubber. 

Usually these products are oxidizers, and considerable success has been established over the years in small cooling systems, with mixed oxidizers of differing ratios, available as slow-release tablet (puck) and stick forms [such as l-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (BCDMH)]. These solid products are usually retained in a GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) tank, often called a brominator. ...

Two types of Na+ ISFET have been reported so far. One was an inorganic sodium-aluminum-silicate (NAS) glass ISFET, which was fabricated by the hydrolysis of a mixed solution of metal alcoholates, followed by thermal treatment (2), or by the ion implantation technique (3,4). The other type of Na+ ISFET was prepared by coating with so-called solvent polymeric membrane, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane.
