Vehicle components

The rigidi d thermoplastic sheet - Tiocess combines thermoplastic sheet vacuum forming with a spray-up or cold press molding process to add a thermoset composite stmctural backing to a decorative thermoplastic skin. Large parts such as bathtubs, hot tubs, recreation vehicle components, and camper tops have been produced by this process.

Van de Vaart et al. [45] used a thin-layer chromatographic method for the analysis of miconazole and other compounds in pharmaceutical creams. The drugs in creams were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography on silica gel plates with ether in pentane-saturated chamber or with butanol-water-acetic acid (20 5 2). Both active ingredients and vehicle components were detected and Rf values of 67 active ingredients are tabulated. Additional eluents may be needed to separate certain combinations of ingredients. 

Disregarding such chemical-specific properties as dissociation constants (in the case of ionic compounds), particle size, and polymorphism, as well as side effects of viscosity, binding to vehicle components, complex formulation, and the like, the following formulation principles arise ... 

Use of vehicle components that reduce the permeability barriers. 

In flavoring liquid pharmaceutical products, the flavoring agent is added to the solvent or vehicle component of the formulation in which it is most soluble or miscible. That is, water-soluble flavorants are added to the aqueous component of a formulation and poorly water-soluble flavorants are added to the alcoholic or other nonaqueous solvent component of the formulation. In a hydroalcoholic or other multisolvent system, care must be exercised to maintain the flavorant in solution. This is accomplished by maintaining a sufficient level of solvent in which the flavorant is soluble. 

Annex II lists all those materials and components that are exempt from 4(2) (a). Eor example lead as an element (i.e. steel upto 0.35% lead by weight, aluminium, copper), lead compounds in components (i.e. batteries, petrol tank coatings, vibration dampers, stabilisers in protective paint), hexavalent chromium (used as coating on various key vehicle components) and mercury (as can be found in bulbs and instrument panel displays). As ruled in 4(2) (b), the Commission shall regularly amend Annex II, i.e. review all substances that are currently exempt from 4(2) (a). If the use of any of the materials or compounds listed in Annex II can be avoided, those substances will be deleted from this Annex. 

The Ba of the motor-vehicle component appears to come mainly from diesel trucks. In part because of Its use as a smoke suppressant (14). Thus, the Ba associated with the component may be quite variable with time and traffic mix. If Br were Included, Its relative concentration In the component should probably be reduced by about 10% to account for losses of this volatile element between the time of release and Its collection at a receptor site. These elements could probably be used as markers If the fitting procedure had provision for weighting based on uncertainties of relative concentrations of elements In the components (21). For the present tests, we have not Included this feature, but have Included weighting factors of 1/a for each element In the samples, where a Includes uncertainties of the analytical measurements and filter blank values. If the additional weighting were Included, the Importance of Ba and Br In determining the strength of the motor-vehicle component would be reduced relative to that of Pb because of their greater uncertainties. 

Despite the stability of the CEBs, one cannot choose marker elements Indlscrlmlnantly. We have seen that the addition of Br and Ba to the 28-marker set causes Instabilities of the motor vehicle component and the elimination of key markers causes various Instabilities. 

Implications for Source Studies. The results discussed above Indicate the need for measurements of a number of elements In studies of particles both from sources and In ambient air. Measurements of Na, Pb, Ca, As, Mn and V are very Important for use In receptor models. Aluminum and Fe are quite useful, but not essential If many other llthophlle elements are measured (e.g., SI, Tl, Sc). Likewise, Zn Is useful, but could be replaced by elements such as Sb and Cd. However, AI, Fe and Zn can usually be measured more easily than their surrogates. Iron and elements such as Cr, Mn, Co and N1 will be Important In areas that have Iron and steel Industries and elements such as Cu, Zn, Pb and other chalcophlles In areas that have non-ferrous metal Industries. Sources of the unexplained Mn, Cr, Cu, Nl, K and Mg In Washington need to be Identified. Thus, we have a set of about 15 elements that should be measured as a minimum, plus others that may provide additional useful Information, e.g., Br, Ba, Cd, Sb. Note that It Is not sufficient to measure a given element only In particles from the dominant source of the element. For example, motor vehicles are the major source of Pb In most areas however, significant amounts are released by refuse Incinerators and non-ferrous smelters. Thus, If the CEB Is to determine the correct source strength for the motor—vehicle component, Pb contributions from the other, less Important sources must be known.

Modern ceramic materials now include zirconium oxide (Zr02), titanium carbide (TiC), and silicon nitride (SiN). There are now many more uses of these new ceramic materials. For example, vehicle components such as ceramic bearings do not need lubrication - even at high speeds. In space technology, ceramic tiles protected the Space Shuttle from intense heat during its re-entry into the Earth s atmosphere. In the power supply industry, they are used as insulators due to the fact that they do not conduct electricity (Figure 3.39).

The vacuum assisted liquid molding process has been used for the manufacture of large composite parts. In this process, a preform is placed in an open mold and a plastic vacuum bag placed on top of the mold. A vacuum is created in the mold using a vacuum pump. A resin source is connected to the mold. As vacuum is drawn through the mold, resin infuses into the preform. Application includes the fabrication of large products with complex geometry such as panels of allcomposite buses, railroad cars, and vehicle components. 

Other concerns have been expressed. ° These include the observation that vehicle components of the products to be evaluated may have different effects on the adhesive properties of the tape. In addition, it is important to appreciate that because the dermatopharmacokinetic bioequivalence studies will most likely be carried out on normal disease-free human volunteers, the generated data may show little resemblance to the actual drug distribution within the stratum corneum of patients. Non-etheless, following further validation, the technique will have several advantages. For example, basic pharmacokinetic parameters, such as AUC, Craax, max, Tud half-Hfc, may be approximated from the data obtained. In addition, the approach could be applicable to all types of topical preparation. 

The selection of a flavor system, thus, requires an extensive evaluation of a number of organoleptic qualities. Vehicle components within which the drug is presented have a significant bearing on the performance...
