Chemicals are ubiquitous as air, carbohydrates, enzymes, lipids, minerals, proteins, vitamins, water, and wood. Naturally occurring chemicals are supplemented by man-made substances. There are about 70000 chemicals in use with another 500-1000 added each year. Their properties have been harnessed to enhance the quality of life, e.g. cosmetics, detergents, energy fuels, explosives, fertilizers, foods and drinks, glass, metals, paints, paper, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, plastics, rubber, solvents, textiles thus chemicals are found in virtually all workplaces. Besides the benefits, chemicals also pose dangers to man and the environment. For example ...

Bound rubber in an unvulcanised carbon black-rubber mix. It results from the production of free radicals in the mastication of rubber these radicals attach themselves chemically to the particles of carbon black and form a proportion of carbon gel which is insoluble in the usual rubber solvents.

A solvent is a substance, usually liquid, in which another substance can be dissolved. Rubber solvents comprise coal-gas products, petroleum distillates, and various chlorinated solvents such as carbon tetrachloride and trichloroethylene. They are used in making rubber solutions for adhesives, doughs for spreading and in freshening uncured rubber surfaces prior to assembly with other components.

Organic solvents are used to make the rubber dough. Natural rubbers are soluble in rubber solvent (a specific petroleum fraction) or naphtha. Nitrile and polychloroprene compounds require aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons as solvents. Often mixtures of solvents are used.

In order to understand the relationship between the difference in the interaction parameter of rubber-solvent (Xab) and clay-solvent (xcd) systems and the properties of HNBR/SP nanocomposites, the plots of modulus at 100% elongation and tensile strength versus Xab-Xcd are represented in Fig. 45a, b. An exponential decay in both modulus and tensile strength is observed with the increase in difference of interaction parameter. 7) and 7max follow the same trend as above. 

The most obvious changes in a rubber mix when vulcanisation sets in are an increase in stiffness and an increase in the elastic component of its viscoelastic deformation. In addition, the ease of solution in common rubber solvents decreases and this has been used with some success as a very... 

Many of the solvents on the List are commercial and industrial solvents (those marked as IS in the column availability in Table 1.2 below), and are listed in such works as (Kirk-Othmer 1978 Gerhartz 1985 Flick 1985). Conversely, not all the solvents reported in such works are on the List, partly if they are not well characterized chemically or are mixtures, such as rubber solvent, mineral spirits, ...

Toxicity Acute, prolonged exposure in workplaces has caused a variety of health disorders in workers (e.g., erythema, edema, skin peeling, loss of appetite, muscle weakness, paresthesia, CNS depression, peripheral nerve disorders, skin and respiratory irritation, chemical pneumonia in children).7 In addition, rubber solvents, varnish, thinners, and petroleum spirits cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and hematologic effects in workers all demand proper handling and chemical safety. 

Based on an observational study of workers in a tire factory, it was estimated that a worker exposed to benzene as a result of direct skin contact with petroleum naphtha containing 0.5% benzene could absorb 4-8 mg of benzene per day through intact skin (Susten et al. 1985). This amount absorbed was compared with an estimated 14 mg of benzene absorbed as a result of inhalation of 1 ppm for an 8-hour day. The estimate for dermal absorption is exaggerated since in many facilities the concentration of benzene in rubber solvents such as petroleum naphtha is less than 0.5% and may be as low as 0.09%. 

Several in vivo and in vitro studies conclusively demonstrate that benzene can be absorbed through human skin (Blank and McAuliffe 1985 Franz 1984 Susten et al. 1985 Tsuruta 1989). In general, skin absorption is considered a minor source of concern in the occupational environment as it occurs at a much lower rate and extent compared with benzene absorption through the respiratory system (OSHA 1989). However, benzene absorption through the skin as a result of benzene contamination in rubber solvents is a major route of exposure in tire building operations (Susten et al. 1985). Benzene is an irritant to the skin and, by defatting the keratin layer, may cause erythema, vesiculation, and dry and scaly dermatitis... 

Heptane is used as the knock-testing standard for octane rating measurements. An isomer, triptane (2,2,3-trimethyl butane), is used in aviation fuel. All isomers are used in organic syntheses and are ingredients of gasoline, rubber solvent naptha, and other petroleum mixtures that are utilized as fuels or solvents.
