Textile waterproofing

Most commercial aluminum formate is monobasic aluminum diformate because of the difficulties involved in triformate preparation. The main appHcation is in textile waterproofing. Aluminum formate reacts with casein to form a water-soluble complex, which can emulsify paraffin and certain other waxes. Fabrics immersed in these emulsions are rendered water repellent (26—28). 

The expl core, contg either PETN or RDX is covered by various combinations of materials such as textiles, waterproofing compds, plastics, rubber, etc. The covering may be wire reinforced (Ref 2)... 

These are not to be confused with Bickford fuse or safety fuse manufactured by the same company, which consists of a central thread surrounded by a core of black powder enclosed within a tube of woven threads, surrounded by various layers of textile, waterproof material, sheathing, etc. This is miner s fuse, and is everywhere known as Bickford fuse after the Englishman who invented the machine by which such fuse was first woven. The most common variety bums with a velocity of about 1 foot per minute. When the fire reaches its end, a spurt of flame about an inch long shoots out for igniting black powder or for firing a blasting cap. 

Isocyanates (RNCO) are industrially relevant compounds which find application in several fields [9, 106]. Many isocyanates serve as the starting materials for the manufacture of plant protection agents, pesticides, dyes, resins and plastics, textile waterproofing agents, detergents, bleaches, and adhesives. They are also widely used in surface coatings such as paints, sealants and finishes, and in the manufacture of rubbery plastics such as those used to coat wires. Traditionally, diisocyanates are the primary feedstock for the production of polyurethanes. The global market for diisocyanates in the year 2000 was 4.4 million tonnes, of which 61.3% was methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), 34.1% was toluene diisocyanate...
