Emulsion Polymerization. Emulsion polymerization is the most important industrial method for the preparation of acryhc polymers. The principal markets for aqueous dispersion polymers made by emulsion polymerization of acryhc esters are the paint, paper, adhesives, textile, floor pohsh, and leather industries, where they are used principally as coatings or binders. Copolymers of either ethyl acrylate or butyl acrylate with methyl methacrylate are most common. 

These foams are used for board stock in commercial and industrial buildings as insulation for internal cavity and external walls, roof, floor, and foundations. Spray-appHed foam, covered subsequently with one of a variety of protective coatings, is widely used for large roofing appHcations and has limited use as external walls. Eor residential buildings, the principal use is as external sheathing board. 

Tetrahydronaphthalene [119-64-2] (Tetralin) is a water-white Hquid that is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in methyl alcohol, and completely soluble in other monohydric alcohols, ethyl ether, and most other organic solvents. It is a powerhil solvent for oils, resins, waxes, mbber, asphalt, and aromatic hydrocarbons, eg, naphthalene and anthracene. Its high flash point and low vapor pressure make it usehil in the manufacture of paints, lacquers, and varnishes for cleaning printing ink from rollers and type in the manufacture of shoe creams and floor waxes as a solvent in the textile industry and for the removal of naphthalene deposits in gas-distribution systems (25). The commercial product typically has a tetrahydronaphthalene content of >97 wt%, with some decahydronaphthalene and naphthalene as the principal impurities. 

Chlorinated rubberis often used in combination with medium od drying type alkyds. The alkyd gives better toughness, flexibdity, adhesion, and durabdity, and the chlorinated mbber contributes to faster drying and better resistance to water and chemicals. The principal appHcations are highway traffic paint, concrete floor, and swimming pool paints. 

In addition to homopolymers of varying molecular and particle structure, copolymers are also available commercially in which vinyl chloride is the principal monomer. Comonomers used eommercially include vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, propylene, acrylonitrile, vinyl isobutyl ether, and maleic, fumaric and acrylic esters. Of these the first three only are of importance to the plastics industry. The main function of introducing comonomer is to reduce the regularity of the polymer structure and thus lower the interchain forces. The polymers may therefore be proeessed at much lower temperatures and are useful in the manufacture of gramophone records and flooring compositions. 

Plutonium pyrochemical processes are now the principal tools at Los Alamos for producing large amounts of high purity plutonium metal from impure metal and oxide scrap. Pyrochemical processing was selected because of its cost effectiveness. The processes are highly compact and require little floor space and manpower to operate. The processes are also operationally efficient in that one or two steps can be used to supplant multi-step operations found in the classical aqueous chemistry flow streams. The... 

Epoxy resins find a large number of uses because of their remarkable chemical resistance and good adhesion. Epoxy resins are excellent structural adhesives. When properly cured, epoxy resins can yield very tough materials. They are used in industrial floorings, foams, potting materials for electrical insulations, etc. One of the principal constituents in many of the Fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) is an epoxy polymer.

These precautions may not be entirely sufficient during dry periods. The spreading of water on haul roads and working floors is the principal operational practice aimed at minimizing airborne dust release. Mathematical models of dust release from opencast mine haul roads have recently been developed, which allow forward planning of water-spreading frequencies for summer and winter conditions in opencast coal mines in specific climatic settings (Thompson Visser 2002). Under the driest of... 

The principal use of LDPE and LLDPE in building products is as a film water barrier under below-grade floors as a wall vapor barrier, though PVC is typically preferred and as temporary enclosure film during construction. The film is made either by extruding a thin-walled tube, which may be slit or wound up direcdy, or by extmsion through a slot die and cast direcdy on to a cold roll, cooled, then wound up. The former method is more widely used. A much smaller use for low density polyethylene is in piping. 

Chlorinated rubber is often used in combination with medium oil drying-type alkyds. The principal applications are highway traffic paint, concrete floor, and swimming pool paints.
