Furfuryl alcohol is shipped in bulk or dmms. Although not corrosive to metals, it is a powerful solvent and penetrant containers, tanks, lines, and valves need to be in good condition to avoid potential leakage. Furfuryl alcohol can be stored in containers lined with baked phenoHc resin coatings however, it should not be put in containers that are coated with lacquers, varnishes, or epoxy resins because it is an excellent solvent for many such coatings. 

Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is used in elastomer production. As a solvent for the polymerization initiator, it finds appHcation in the manufacture of chlorohydrin mbber. Additionally, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is used as a catalyst solvent-activator and reactive diluent in epoxy formulations for a variety of apphcations. Where exceptional moisture resistance is needed, as for outdoor appHcations, furfuryl alcohol is used jointly with tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol in epoxy adhesive formulations.

Uses. 3-Pentenenitrile, 3PN, is used entirely by the manufacturers to make adiponitrile. i7j -2-Pentenenitrile, 2PN, can be cycli2ed catalyticaHy at high temperature to produce pyndine, a solvent and agncultural chemical intermediate. 2PN is also chlorinated to manufacture pentachloropyndine, an intermediate in the insecticide Dursban produced by Dow. Addition of ammonia to 2PN foUowed by reduction leads to 1,3-pentadiamine (Dytek ep), which is used as a curing agent for epoxy coatings and as a chain modifier in polyurethanes. 

TetrabromobisphenolA. TBBPA is the largest volume reactive flame retardant. Its primary use is in epoxy resins (see Epoxyresins) where it is reacted with the bis-glycidyl ether of bisphenol A to produce an epoxy resin having 20—25% bromine. This brominated resin is typically sold as a 80% solution in a solvent. TBBPA is also used in the production of epoxy oligomers which are used as additive flame retardants. 

Types of internal enamel for food containers include oleoresins, vinyl, acryflc, phenoHc, and epoxy—phenoHc. Historically can lacquers were based on oleoresinous products. PhenoHc resins have limited flexibiHty and high bake requirements, but are used on three-piece cans where flexibiHty is not required. Vinyl coatings are based on copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate dissolved in ketonic solvents. These can be blended with alkyd, epoxy, and phenoHc resins to enhance performance. FlexibiHty allows them to be used for caps and closures as weU as drawn cans. Their principal disadvantage is high sensitivity to heat and retorting processes this restricts their appHcation to cans which are hot filled, and to beer and beverage products. 

Uses. Diacetone alcohol is a widely used solvent in the coatings industry where it finds appHcation in hot lacquers which require high boiling components, and in bmshing lacquers where its mild odor, blush resistance, and flow-out properties are desired. Diacetone alcohol is also a solvent for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, and epoxy resins. 

Inversion ofMon cjueous Polymers. Many polymers such as polyurethanes, polyesters, polypropylene, epoxy resins (qv), and siHcones that cannot be made via emulsion polymerization are converted into latices. Such polymers are dissolved in solvent and inverted via emulsification, foUowed by solvent stripping (80). SoHd polymers are milled with long-chain fatty acids and diluted in weak alkaH solutions until dispersion occurs (81). Such latices usually have lower polymer concentrations after the solvent has been removed. For commercial uses the latex soHds are increased by techniques such as creaming. 

Other. 2-Nitro-1-butanol is an excellent solvent for many polyamide resins, cellulose acetate butyrate, and ethylceUulose. It can be utilized in paint removers for epoxy-based coatings. 2-Hydroxymethyl-2-nitro-l,3-propanediol is usebil for control of odors in chemical toilets. Its slow release of formaldehyde ensures prolonged action to control odor, and there is no reodorant problem which sometimes is associated with the use of free formaldehyde. 2-Hydroxymethyl-2-nitro-l,3-propanediol solutions are effective preservative and embalming fluids. The slow Uberation of formaldehyde permits thorough penetration of the tissues before hardening. 

Epoxies provide excellent chemical, moisture, and abrasion resistance. However, because a solvent can sometimes dissolve the epoxy present in the laminate, rework on an epoxy coating requires heat or abrasion to remove the coating. 

Heat-reactive resins are more compatible than oil-soluble resins with other polar-coating resins, such as amino, epoxy, and poly(vinyl butyral). They are used in interior-can and dmm linings, metal primers, and pipe coatings. The coatings have excellent resistance to solvents, acids, and salts. They can be used over a wide range of temperatures, up to 370°C for short periods of dry heat, and continuously at 150°C. Strong alkaUes should be avoided.
