Window fogging

Leather-like skins for automotive interior applications such as instrument panel surfaces and door panels are also under development. Compared with PVC, flexible PP provides improved aging and reduced window fogging, because no plasticizer is used. Recycling is enhanced as more parts are made Irom PP. 

A standard requirement for automotive textiles (fabrics, carpets, nonwovens) is the low fogging effect, i.e., the condensation of volatile components of the spin-finished treated material inside the car windows (the so-called window fogging effect) [97].

Another nonregenerative drying appHcation for molecular sieves is their use as an adsorbent for water and solvent in dual-pane insulated glass windows. The molecular sieve is loaded into the spacer frame used to separate the panes. Once the window has been sealed, low hydrocarbon and water dew points are maintained within the enclosed space for the lifetime of the unit. Consequently, no condensation or fogging occurs within this space to cloud the window. 

The real atmosphere is more than a dry mixture of permanent gases. It has other constituents—vapor of both water and organic liquids, and particulate matter held in suspension. Above their temperature of condensation, vapor molecules act just like permanent gas molecules in the air. The predominant vapor in the air is water vapor. Below its condensation temperature, if the air is saturated, water changes from vapor to liquid. We are all familiar with this phenomenon because it appears as fog or mist in the air and as condensed liquid water on windows and other cold surfaces exposed to air. The quantity of water vapor in the air varies greatly from almost complete dryness to supersaturation, i.e., between 0% and 4% by weight. If Table 2-1 is compiled on a wet air basis at a time when the water vapor concentration is 31,200 parts by volume per million parts by volume of wet air (Table 2-2), the concentration of condensable organic vapors is seen to be so low compared to that of water vapor that for all practical purposes the difference between wet air and dry air is its water vapor content. 

Developments in the USA have led to the availability of terephthalate plasticisers, for example dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP). Whilst these materials are very similar to the corresponding o-phthalate esters they are generally less volatile and are best compared with d-phthalates with one or more carbon atom in the alkyl chain. As with the linear dialkyl phthalates the terephthalates show good fogging resistance. This is a phenomenon in which new cars on storage fields awaiting delivery develop misting on the windows due, apparently, to the volatility of additives in PVC compounds used with the car. 

Sealants for insulated glass windows are based on butyl polymers. These sealants have excellent weathering and ageing, low-moisture vapour transmission and are non-fogging [66]. 

The windows may fog or become disfigured since water dissolves them and 2) water will interfere with the detection of alcohols in the spectrum. 

By this time the fog was impenetrable, and we all retired for the night, but not before Ev related that in the silence before the appearance of the fog she had a hallucination. With her eyes closed, she saw a strange, elf-like creature rolling a complicated polyhedron along the ground. Each facet of this polyhedron seemed, she said, like a window onto another place in time or another world. 

Again he glanced at the window to see how the day was fading. There was fog moving in. Go and find out if Mama has supper ready. ... 

But you are not mad. You breathe more easily now your heart is beating slower than a few seconds before. A cool, gende breeze dries the perspiration on your forehead. As you look in one direction, you see a city-like structure with iridescent windows that make the fog radiate and pulse with life of its own. 

In the routine that was developed, the fog machine was brought close to the structure to be fogged on a jeep, trailer, or truck. The fog was piped in through a door or window through flexible metal tubes 4 or 6 inches in diameter and up to 30 feet long. The two floors were either fogged separately, first the upper and then the lower, or simultaneously with two machines, one for each floor. 

Excellent for cleaning automobile windshields, household windows, refrigerators, stove tops, and kitchen counter surfaces. It removes grease and dirt and is easy to wipe off because of the lubricity provided by the silicone fluid. This formulation also provides anti-fog properties. 

The cells are emptied by attachment of one of the ports to a vacuum line incorporating a suitable trapping system, cleaned by several rinses with neat solvent and then with dichloromethane. Solvent is removed by a short period of suction and the cell is finally dried under a radiant heater and stored in a desiccator. Prolonged passage of air through the cell must be avoided otherwise fogging of the cell windows from atmospheric moisture may occur. 

When temperatures rise in crowded industrial areas and cities and there is little wind, the result is an increase in the level of smog. You should not go outside on smoggy days, but instead stay inside as much as possible, with the windows and doors shut and the air purifiers running until it s over. Smog clears up automatically once the wind picks up or changes direction, or when it rains. Smog can cause brain fog (see entry 162), respiratory problems and other problems for MCS patients and certainly also for people who experience respiratory problems in general. 

For food contact applications, EarthFirst PLA film has a good flavour and aroma barrier and air can move freely through the EarthFirst PLA film to prevent fogging on windows and promote swift adhesive drying. Also, EarthFirst PLA film in food applications extends the products freshness and results in a longer shelf-life.
