Thinner agents

Standard screen printing inks consist of a thick carrier liquid (binder) and finely ground mineral pigments for color, as well as various types of thinner agents to enable the ink to flow and wet to the surface of the substrate. Given the many different materials screen printing interfaces with, there are just as many molecular-ly-different ink formulations to optimize the adhesion of each to these various materials. 

Lignite, generally leonardite, and lignite derivatives are appHed in water-based muds as thinners and filtration control agents. Leonardite is an oxidized lignite having a high content of humic acids, which may be described as carboxylated phenoHc polymers (59,60). Litde is known about the chemical stmcture. 

The soft-mud process is used to make handmade btick. Mote water is added to the clay to make a thinner paste, typicaHy about 20 to 30% by weight of water. The resulting slurry is packed into molds that have a sand or water coating on them that acts as a release agent. The wet brick shapes ate removed from the molds when they have set up enough to handle and ate then stacked for drying and burning. 

The tank is typically about sixteen inches in diameter and about four to five feet tall. The top of the tank is domed upward and the bottom of the tank is also domed upward in a concave manner. The outside of the tank is insulated with a polyurethane foam insulation that is squirted into the gap between the tank and a thinner sheet metal jacket. The polyurethane is made of two different components that react and harden when mixed. Included in the mixture is a blowing agent that causes the polyurethane to expand in a foam-like manner. Prior to about 1980, water heaters were insulated with fiberglass insulation. The foam insulation process was developed to allow automation and increased manufacturing speed and reduced costs. A side benefit was improved insulating ability leading to a slight increase in efficiency. 

Seawater muds are composed of bentonite, thinner (lignosulfonate or lignosulfonate and lignite), and an organic filtration control agent. The typical formulation of a seawater mud is 3.5 Ib/bbl of alkali (2 Ib/bbl caustic soda and 1.5 Ib/bbl lime), 8 to 12 Ib/bbl of lignosulfonate, and 2 to 4 Ib/bbl of bentonite to maintain viscosity and filtration. Another approach is to use bentonite/thinner (ligno-sulfonate)/freshwater premix, and mix it with seawater that has been treated for hardness. This technique will be discussed in the saturated saltwater muds section. 

The majority of phosphate processes in use today are accelerated to obtain shorter treatment times and lower processing temperatures. The most common mode of acceleration is by the addition of oxidising agents such as nitrate, nitrite, chlorate and hydrogen peroxide. By this means, a processing time of 1 to 5 min can be obtained at temperatures of 43-71 °C. The resultant coatings are much smoother and thinner than those from unaccelerated processes, and, while the corrosion resistance is lower, they cause less reduction of paint gloss and are more suited to mass-production requirements.

The data from these first two batch tests indicated that poly(lignin-g-(l- amidoethylene)) hag properties which make it a potentially effective drilling mud additive. The tests show that poly(lignin-g-(l-amidoethylene)) and its hydrolyzed derivatives act as a high temperature thinner and as a filtrate control agent. The... 

Individuals who have had previous exposure to materials that chap or dry the skin, such as alcohols, gasoline, or paint thinners, may be more susceptible to percutaneous penetration of liquid agents. In these situations, the rate of percutaneous penetration of the agent is greatly increased resulting in a decrease in the survival time that would otherwise be expected. 

Hydrophobic polymer materials that slowly release N O can be used on the surface of medical devices. Many medical devices suffer from the surface adhesion of blood platelets. To minimize this thrombogenic effect, blood thinners such as heparin, coumarin, and aspirin are often used. However, systemic administration of antiplatelet agents could increase the risk of uncontrolled bleeding elsewhere in the body. In contrast, biocompatible polymer films would solve this problem [153]. It is possible to create polymeric surfaces that mimic the inner surface of a blood vessel by... 

Uses Solvent for nitrocellulose in thinners, sealers, and topcoat lacquers flavoring agent perfumery. 

The FM 123-2, supplied as a supported film on a knitted mlcro-fllament nylon carrier, was applied directly to one pretreated (SAA or FPL) A1 panel (15 cm x 15 cm x 0.3 cm). A second panel was then pressed onto the exposed adhesive side and the "sandwich structure was subsequently cured at 120°C under 40 psi for 1 hr. A 1 1 1 mixture of the epoxy-polyamide formulation (EPON resin Versamld curing agent thinner, MIL-T-81772) was sprayed onto prepared 7075-T6 specimens to a thickness (dry) of 0.015 - 0.023 cm. 

Typical liquid systems require doses between 10 and 50 kGy. They consist of binders (prepolymers) with acrylic (H2C=CH-CO-0-) double bonds in the main chain (polymaleates and polyfumarates) and of monomers, usually acrylates used as reactive thinners. Other ingredients added to the formulation may be pigments, dyes, fillers, flatting agents, and additives to improve film and surface properties and attain the required performance criferia. ... 

The major components of all drilling mud systems are similar. All of today s mud systems contain emulsifiers, wetting agents, thinners, weighting agents, gelling agents, brine, and small amounts of other substances and chemicals suspended in...
