Expandable polystyrene EPS is a modified PS prepared as small beads containing pentane gas which, when steamed, expand to form lightweight, cohesive masses for forms used to mold cups and trays, package fragile products for shipment, etc. Similar dimensionally stable forms molded from EPS are used as cores for such products as automobile sun visors with surface overlays, etc.

Other polymers, such as polycarbonate and polymethylmethacrylate, are hard, tough, and transparent. These materials are ideal for applications that are likely to experience severe impact. We find these polymers in bus shelters, motorcycle helmet visors, and jet fighter canopies. 

The risk of bums is normally only experienced when filling a magnet with nitrogen or helium. You need to be protected in case the liquid spills or the transfer line breaks. Protection just means covering up any exposed skin (lab coat, visor and thick gloves are normally sufficient). At all other times, the cryogens are safely in their cans and should stay there unless something catastrophic happens. 

In this case study, an automotive supplier was facing an issue of surface blemishes on sun visor arms. 

Portions of the sun visor arms used in automobiles can be manufactured from glass-filled thermoplastic polymers. Several visor arms contained visible blemishes on the surface. Typically, the steel insert of the visor arm is overmolded with the glass-filled thermoplastic polymer. Manufacturers sometimes utilize striations on the steel insert to provide a mechanical interlock with the over-molded thermoplastic polymer. However, in an improperly controlled environment, the mechanical process that produces the striations can also be the source of contamination and cause surface blemishes in the final product. 

To diagnose the surface blemish problem several analytical techniques were employed. First, the samples were photo-documented. Since an aesthetic problem is by definition a problem with the visual appearance of an item, it is important to ascertain if all the defects are different or of the same nature. With close inspection, the sun visor arms were found to contain two distinct types of defects. Figure 1(a) shows what was called the Type A defect and Figure 1(b) shows the so-called Type B defect. These images were acquired using a stereomicroscope coupled with a digital camera. 

From the samples collected from two lots of sun visor arms, the type and frequency of defects were tabulated to determine which type of defect was occurring most often. Table 1 indicates that the Type A defects were occurring... 

The bright reflection of the sun s rays on an astronaut s visor is keenly apparent in many of the photographs taken during spacewalks. The chemistry of the visor reveals the origin of its highly reflective nature. 

After lunch I saw Clarence Merrell slumping in a lobby chair. His hand was like a visor over his forehead, as if protecting his eyes from a glare. "How come you re not over at the courthouse " I asked him. 

Despite wearing protective equipment that included disposable overalls and compressed-air-fed visors or full-facepiece masks with filters for dusts and vapors, hexachloroethane was detected in the plasma of exposed workers (Selden et al. 1993). After 5 weeks of exposure, plasma levels of hexachloroethane in 12 workers were 7.3 + 6 pg/L. Mild dermal irritation was also noted. If the skin irritation was a response to hexachloroethane rather than trauma from the protective clothing, the irritation suggests that the principal exposure route may have been dermal. Absorption of a saturated hexachloroethane solution across human skin was estimated to be 0.0230 mg/cm2/hour based on the physical properties of hexachloroethane (Fiserova-Bergerova et al. 1990). 

Exposure Levels in Humans. Hexachloroethane has not been detected in human tissues as a result of exposure to this chemical from environmental media. Biological monitoring data were not located for populations surrounding hazardous waste sites. Hexachloroethane has been detected in the plasma of workers at concentrations of 7.3 6 pg/L, despite the use of protective equipment including disposable overalls and compressed-air-fed visors or full-facepiece masks with filters (Selden et al. 1994). Because of protective equipment, exposure concentrations could not be related to plasma levels of hexachloroethane. 

Where monitors are placed close to hazards, such as at helicopter landing sites, supplement monitor heat should be considered for operator protection. The heat shield should not obstruct the visor of the operator and clear heat resistant plexi-glasses have been used at some installations.
