Most of the acetic acid is produced in the United States, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, France, Canada, and Mexico. Total annual production in these countries is close to four million tons. Uses include the manufacture of vinyl acetate [108-05-4] and acetic anhydride [108-24-7]. Vinyl acetate is used to make latex emulsion resins for paints, adhesives, paper coatings, and textile finishing agents. Acetic anhydride is used in making cellulose acetate fibers, cigarette filter tow, and ceUulosic plastics. 

Early demand for chlorine centered on textile bleaching, and chlorine generated through the electrolytic decomposition of salt (NaCl) sufficed. Sodium hydroxide was produced by the lime—soda reaction, using sodium carbonate readily available from the Solvay process. Increased demand for chlorine for PVC manufacture led to the production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide as coproducts. Solution mining of salt and the avadabiHty of asbestos resulted in the dominance of the diaphragm process in North America, whereas soHd salt and mercury avadabiHty led to the dominance of the mercury process in Europe. Japan imported its salt in soHd form and, until the development of the membrane process, also favored the mercury ceU for production. 

Asahi Chemical Industries (ACl, Japan) are now the leading producers of cuprammonium rayon. In 1990 they made 28,000 t/yr of filament and spunbond nonwoven from cotton ceUulose (65). Their continuing success with a process which has suffered intense competition from the cheaper viscose and synthetic fibers owes much to their developments of high speed spinning technology and of efficient copper recovery systems. Bemberg SpA in Italy, the only other producer of cuprammonium textile fibers, was making about 2000 t of filament yam in 1990. 

Advanced composites and fiber-reinforced materials are used in sailcloth, speedboat, and other types of boat components, and leisure and commercial fishing gear. A ram id and polyethylene fibers are currentiy used in conveyer belts to collect valuable offshore minerals such as cobalt, uranium, and manganese. Constmction of oil-adsorbing fences made of high performance fabrics is being evaluated in Japan as well as the constmction of other pollution control textile materials for maritime use. For most marine uses, the textile materials must be resistant to biodeterioration and to a variety of aqueous pollutants and environmental conditions.

Kotschi (2000) was concerned that the standards and demand for organic products were dominated by the wealthy northern countries. He recognised that there was a booming international market for organic food and textiles. The green tea from China, coffee from Mexico and cotton from Tanzania are exported to wealthy people in Europe, North America and Japan. 

The second major use of germanium is as catalyst in the production of polyesters [e.g. poly(ethylene terephthalate)] and synthetic textile fibers (especially those produced in Europe and Japan). 

Polyureas are inferior in heat resistance to polyurethanes and Polyamides. Polyureas are used in the plastics industry and for dressing textiles in Japan they are used for spinning fibre. 

P.Y.99, which is derived from the anthraquinone structure, is produced in Japan. It affords very reddish shades of yellow, even redder but at the same time distinctly duller than those of P.Y.83. P.Y.99 is recommended especially for use in textile printing but is also used in plastics. Although HDPE systems are heat stable up to 300°C, they noticeably lack tinctorial strength. 1/3 SD HDPE samples containing 1% TiOz are formulated at 0.53% pigment. 

Dr. Mark is acknowledged throughout the scientific community as the father of polymer science. He received the National Medal of Science in 1980, the 1978 Senior U.S. Scientist Award, 29 other medals and awards from various international organizations, and 17 honorary degrees. In 1977, he was appointed as an Honorable Member of the Japan Chemical Society. He has published over 500 original and review articles and some 20 books on topics related to polymer chemistry. Dr. Mark is founder and first editor of the Journal of Polymer Science, the definitive publication in its field, and is currently editor of the Journal of Applied Science and associate editor of the Textile Research Journal. In addition to these duties he serves as Chairman of the Editorial Board of the Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology.

In Japan, pilot plant quantities of rayon and cotton grafted with styrene and other monomers have been prepared and evaluated. Improvements in the flex abrasion resistance and good water repellency were obtained. In addition, thermoplasticity was imparted plus an improved adhesion to rubber. Arthur et al. have also studied this type of grafted cellulose fibers. Again, the work has not led to any large scale developments. Research into grafting to textiles is continuing, but the prospects for any early successful industrialization seem remote.

The worldwide consumption of surfactants in 2003 is shown in Table 36.5. In many parts of the world, soap is still the primary surfactant for textile washing and personal care. Synthetic detergents are widely used in the devolved regions of the world including North America, Western Europe, and Japan. Anionic surfactants dominate the world surfactant market. Common anionic surfactants include LAS, AS, and AES. The second largest class of surfactants is the nonionics of which AE and APE are most common. The use of APE is in decline because of concerns with biodegradability and endocrine disruption. Quats are commonly used in antibacterial formulations because of their ability to lyse the cell membrane of...
