Polyvinylic alcohol

Liquid or solid films which reduce or prevent adhesion between surfaces solid-solid, solid-paste, solid-liquid. Waxes, metallic soaps, glycerides (particularly stearates), polyvinyl alcohol, polyethene, silicones, and fluorocarbons are all used as abherents in metal, rubber, food, polymer, paper and glass processing. [Pg.9]

Ethyne is the starting point for the manufacture of a wide range of chemicals, amongst which the most important are acrylonitrile, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, ethanal, ethanoic acid, tri- and perchloro-ethylene, neoprene and polyvinyl alcohol. Processes such as vinylation, ethinylation, carbonylation, oligomerization and Reppe processes offer the possibility of producing various organic chemicals cheaply. Used in oxy-acetylene welding.

Cross-Linking of Polyols. Polyols such as natural polysaccharides, eg, cellulose, starch, guar gum and their derivatives, and polyvinyl alcohol and its derivatives can be cross-linked by organic titanates. [Pg.164]

Free flow. Dobry and Finn [Chem. Eng. Prog., 54, 59 (1958)] used upward flow, stabilized by adding methyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, or dextran to the background solution. Upward flow was also used in the electrode compartments, with cooling efficiency sufficient to keep the main solution within 1°C of entering temperature. [Pg.2008]

Polymeric Membranes Economically important applications required membranes that could operate at higher pH than could CA, for which the optimum is around pH = 5. Many polymeric membranes are now available, most of which have excellent hydrolytic stabihty. Particularly prominent are polysulfone, polyvinyhdene fluoride, poly-ethersulfone, polyvinyl alcohol-polyethylene copolymers, and aciylic copolymers. [Pg.2038]

Bead Polymerization Bulk reaction proceeds in independent droplets of 10 to 1,000 [Lm diameter suspended in water or other medium and insulated from each other by some colloid. A typical suspending agent is polyvinyl alcohol dissolved in water. The polymerization can be done to high conversion. Temperature control is easy because of the moderating thermal effect of the water and its low viscosity. The suspensions sometimes are unstable and agitation may be critical. Only batch reaciors appear to be in industrial use polyvinyl acetate in methanol, copolymers of acrylates and methacrylates, polyacrylonitrile in aqueous ZnCh solution, and others. Bead polymerization of styrene takes 8 to 12 h. [Pg.2102]

Neoprene latex 115 contains a copolymer of chloroprene and methacrylic acid, stabilized with polyvinyl alcohol [15], With respect to other polychloroprene latices, this latex has two major advantages (1) excellent colloidal stability, which gives high resistance to shear and a broad tolerance to several materials ...

Other components in PVAc-formulations are defoamers, stabilizers, filler dispersants, preservatives, thickeners (hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellu-lose), polyvinyl alcohols, starch, wetting agents, tackifiers, solvents (alcoholes, ketone, esters), flame retardants and others. [Pg.1078]

Beaded polymeric support, whether polystyrene-divinylbenzene, polymethacrylate, or polyvinyl alcohol, is conventionally produced by different variations of a two-phase suspension polymerization process, in which liquid microdroplets are converted to the corresponding solid microbeads (1). [Pg.4]

Synthetic organic polymers, which are used as polymeric supports for chromatography, as catalysts, as solid-phase supports for peptide and oligonucleotide synthesis, and for diagnosis, are based mainly on polystyrene, polystyrene-divinylbenzene, polyacrylamide, polymethacrylates, and polyvinyl alcohols. A conventional suspension of polymerization is usually used to produce these organic polymeric supports, especially in large-scale industrial production. [Pg.7]

Heitz et al. (33) also described the preparation of polyvinyl acetate cross-linked with butanediol divinyl ether. The polymer is the base of the Merckogel series of size exclusion chromatography packings, and its hydrolyzed derivative, polyvinyl alcohol, is marketed as Fractogel and Toyopearls. [Pg.9]

A process for the preparation of porous polyvinyl alcohol gels in three steps is (1) suspension polymerization of vinyl acetate with diethylene glycol dimethacrylate in the presence of a diluent as porogen, (2) saponifying of the resulting porous polyvinyl acetate gel with an alkali, and then (3) subjecting...

A weak cation-exchange resin is obtained by reaction of glyoxylic acid and a cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol. The polyvinyl alcohol is cross-linked with glutaraldehyde in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The cation-exchange resin has an exchange capacity of 3 meq/g or greater and a swelling volume of 10 ml/g or smaller (37-38). [Pg.10]

A polyvinyl alcohol is obtained by suspension polymerization of vinyl acetate and the cross-linking agent, triallyl isocyanurate, with a triazine ring followed by alkali hydrolysis. The polyvinyl alcohol gel is used as packing for gel-... [Pg.22]

Macroporous polyvinyl alcohol particles with a molecular weight cutoff of ca. 8 X 10 in gel-permeation chromatography have been prepared. The particles are produced by first dispersing an aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol in an organic solvent to make spheres of polyvinyl alcohol solution. Holding the dispersion in such a state that a gel will then form spontaneously will cause the gel to react with glutaraldehyde in the presence of an acidic catalyst (85). [Pg.23]
