Solvents for paints

Since double bonds are no longer present, these compounds are more stable than the corresponding furan derivatives. Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol—ethylene oxide adducts [31692-85-0] are also usehil solvents for paint stripping formulations (136,141,143). 2-Methylfuran is a good solvent, but... 

The main uses of petroleum naphtha fall into the general areas of solvents (diluents) for paints, etc, dry-cleaning solvents, solvents for cutback asphalt, solvents in mbber industry, and solvents for industrial extraction processes. Turpentine, the older, more conventional solvent for paints, has been almost completely replaced by the cheaper and more abundant petroleum naphtha. 

In general, polycarbonate resins have fair chemical resistance to aqueous solutions of acids or bases, as well as to fats and oils. Chemical attack by amines or ammonium hydroxide occurs, however, and aUphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons promote crazing of stressed molded samples. Eor these reasons, care must be exercised in the choice of solvents for painting and coating operations. Eor sheet appHcations, polycarbonate is commonly coated with a sihcone—sihcate hardcoat which provides abrasion resistance as well as increased solvent resistance. Coated films are also available.

Acetone is a volatile liquid with a distinct sweet odor. It is miscible with water, alcohols, and many hydrocarbons. For this reason, it is a highly desirable solvent for paints, lacquers, and cellulose acetate. Acetone was the 41st highest volume chemical. The 1994 U.S. production was approximately 2.8 billion pounds. 

Mesityl oxide is produced by the dehydration of acetone. Hydrogenation of mesityl oxide produces methylisobutyl ketone, a solvent for paints and varnishes ... 

The whole range of carboxylic acids and alcohols can be reacted to form esters. They are found in a large number of natural and synthetic scents and perfumes because of their pleasant odor. Many are used as solvents for paints and resins. Esters are converted back into the original acids and alcohols hy reaction with strong bases in water in a process called saponification (soap formation).

Toluene is used as a high-octane blending stock in gasoline as a solvent for paints and coatings, gums, resins, oils, rubber and adhesives and as an intermediate in the preparation of many chemicals, dyes, pharmaceuticals, detergents and explosives (Lewis, 1993). 

Oil of lurpeiiline is used principally as a solvent for paints and varnishes, because it mixes readily with the various substances used and also because it evaporates quickly, causing the paint or varnish to dry, It is also used in making such things as sealing wax and shoe polish. Very pure grades of turpentine (the oleoresin) are used medicinally. 

Many other materials, such as food flavourings, are made from ethanol. As ethanol is also a very good solvent and evaporates easily, it is used extensively as a solvent for paints, glues, aftershave and many other everyday products (Figure 15.4). 

Butan-l-ol is used as a solvent for paints and varnishes, to make esters and as a fuel. Butan-l-ol can be manufactured from but-l-ene, which is made from petroleum. 

Uses Kerosene is a white to pale yellow, flammable liquid in wide use in household and industrial activities (e.g., heating, cooking fuel, cleaning, degreasing, as a solvent for paints, enamels, polishes, and varnishes, and in asphalt coating). 

Uses Nitrobenzene is a colorless to pale yellow liquid. It has been used extensively in a variety of industries, (e.g., the manufacture of aniline dyes and soaps, as solvent for paints, for refining lubricating oils, as shoe polish, floor polish, dressings for leather products, the manufacture of explosives). 

Esters are widely used in industry as solvents. Ethyl acetate is a good solvent for a wide variety of compounds, and its toxicity is low compared with other solvents. Ethyl acetate is also found in household products such as cleaners, polishes, glues, and spray finishes. Ethyl butyrate and butyl butyrate were once widely used as solvents for paints and finishes, including the butyrate dope that was sprayed on the fabric covering of aircraft wings to make them tight and stiff. Polyesters (covered later in this section and in Chapter 26) are among the most common polymers, used in fabrics (Dacron ), films (VCR tapes), and solid plastics (soft-drink bottles).

Over 90% of the cyclohexane that is made is used in the manufacture of nylon. The rest is used mostly as a solvent for paints, varnish, and oils. 

Ethyl acetate is used primarily as (1) a coatings solvent for paints, lacquers, and varnishes (2) an extraction solvent for various processes, including decaffeination of coffee and tea (3) a process solvent in the pharmaceutical industry and (4) a carrier solvent for printing inks, adhesives, and nail polish. It is also used in the manufacture of artificial leather and perfumes, and in certain household products including airplane glue, and paint and nail polish removers. 

Petroleum distillates are used as general extractants and universal solvents for paints, varnishes, fats, furniture polishes, and waxes. They are also used as vehicles for medication and pesticide applications, as counter-irritants, and as degreasers, detergents, and fuel. Most can be purchased over the counter , particularly mineral spirits, which is a widely used solvent or diluent for nonlatex paints. 

Poly-Solv [Olin], TM for a series of glycol ether solvents for paints, varnishes, dry-cleaning soaps, cutting oils, insecticides. 

Special oils are obtained after the motor fuels during distillation. These oils are used for lighter fuel, dry cleaning, solvents for cleaning, wax, polish, solvents for paint and solvents for rubber.
