It is also used as "wetter" for fire fighting, particularly of forest fires. TRYCOL 5952 provides low re-wetting properties making it useful as a pad-bath penetrant in water and grease repellent applications. It is also a good emulsifier for polyethylene emulsions used in water repellent applications. 

A non-durable water repellent applicable to all fibers and blends.

Personal protection measures are the first line of protection against vectors of diseases. Although personal protection measures can reduce the incidence of vector-borne disease, they can rarely eliminate the risk because not all individuals in a community use the measures. In this chapter, the strategies used to reduce nuisance and the potential reduction in the transmission of diseases are discussed. Readers will note that none of the methods or combination of methods is 100% effective because of inconsistency of repellent application, and not aU individnals in a community adhere to personal protection. 

CUNIPHEN 2713 contains effective water repellents and is formulated for solvent system application. CUNIPHEN 2721 and 2721C are emulsions designed to be compatible with many acid-wax water repellents, allowing mildewproofing and water repellent application in a single treatment. 

The silicone oils and silicone resins find application as (i) lubricants (their change of viscosity with temperature is small), (ii) hydraulic fluids (they are unusually compressible), (iii) dielectric fluids, (iv) for the pro duction of water-repellant surfaces, and (v) in the electrical industry (because of their high insulating properties). 

In dc magnetic applications, an air-gap is usually required somewhere along the magnetic path of the core. In ferrite cores, the gap is placed in the center-leg of the core. The flux leaves one end of the core and flows towards the opposing end. The flux, though, repels itself and causes the flux lines to bulge out away from the centerline of the core. The presence of an air-gap creates an area... 

Silicone fluids find a very wide variety of applications mainly because of their water-repellency, anti-stick properties, low surface tension and thermal properties. 

Water-soluble preparations should not be used for aqueous situations water-repellant creams are available for such applications.

MAI composed of PAIE for application to emulsifiers, drug carriers, and ion-exchange resins [60,61]. Poly(per-fluoropropyleneglycol)-b-poly(acrylic acid) was synthesized initiated with an MPI having fluoroalkyl group in the main chain [62]. It was soluble to water, ethanol, and THF, and showed water repellency, oil repellency, antifouling, and resistance to chemicals. 

The mechanical properties of composites are mainly influenced by the adhesion between matrix and fibers of the composite. As it is known from glass fibers, the adhesion properties could be changed by pretreatments of fibers. So special process, chemical and physical modification methods were developed. Moisture repel-lency, resistance to environmental effects, and, not at least, the mechanical properties are improved by these treatments. Various applications for natural fibers as reinforcement in plastics are encouraged. 

As mentioned above, insulation applied to externally located equipment can be subjected to rain and weather contamination if the outer cladding fails. Insulants with water-repellant, water-tolerant or free-draining properties offer an additional benefit in this type of application. In the structural field insulants used as cavity wall fills must be of those types specially treated and designed for this application. 

The insect s choice of food may be governed to a considerable extent, as ours is, by attractants and repellents. In many instances, the actual insecticidal action of plant extractives may be due primarily to an artificially high level of application, while, in fact, the parent plants are only repellent in the field. This repellency may appear to be resistance on the part of the plant, and the chemistry of such resistance factors has begun to receive much-needed attention. For example, Smissman and his coworkers have examined the chemical basis for the inherited resistance of some strains of corn to attack by the European corn borer. 6-Methoxybenzoxazolinone (X) was isolated (2, SO) and shown to be one of the principal resistance factors, and a number of synthetic analogs were found to... 

Silicones are relatively expensive, but they do have excellent thermal stability and water repellency. Hence they tend to find application where these properties are particularly necessary.
