cellulosics

That is sufficient to raise most cellulosics to their ignition temperature in just a few seconds.

He has also held plant leadership positions for the production of methyl cellulosics and ethylene oxide.

Nylons and cellulosics are based on polymers that also have atoms other than carbon in the main chain.

'Tencel, in cellulosics, is leading in the environmental aspects.

Materials in this category include acrylics, cellulosics, polyarylates, polysulfones and polycarbonates.

The global leading producer is Dow Wolff Cellulosics GmbH.

Cellulosics can be scoured with caustic solutions, whilst wool requires a gentler scour with soap and soda ash.

Cellulose-based fabrics such as cotton and linen, but also synthetic cellulosics such as rayon, can form unsightly little "bobbles" on the surface.

Ethanol is a liquid alcohol produced by fermenting either starch materials (corn, wheat, barley) or cellulosics (agricultural residues, wood, wood wastes).

Designed Polymers reported strong demand in food, pharmaceutical and personal care applications in Dow Wolff Cellulosics, which partially offset weakness in construction polymers.

Designed Polymers posted price gains in all geographic areas except Europe, due in part to strength in pharmaceutical and food applications served by Dow Wolff Cellulosics.

The challenge is not only how to convert cellulosics into jet fuel, but also how to certify that they are grown, refined, and distributed in a sustainable manner," Endres said.

Tenite cellulosics are manufactured from renewable raw materials (soft woods); they exhibit many of the same tactile and finish properties as wood, yet can easily be molded and extruded.

Cellulosics - CMC, HMC, HPMC, and others, all are chemically substituted cellulose macromolecules.

Geneva, Switzerland: Courtaulds Fibres Cellulosics is planning its biggest and best stand for years at the Index exhibition from April 20-23, showing both viscose and Tencel.

The molding of cellulosics had limited application but, in the next 30 years, processors learned to work with new materials: nylon, polyvinylchloride, polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene came out of the laboratory before 1960.

Courtaulds also entered the market of cellulosics (viscose and acetate) in North America with the setting up of the American Viscose Corporation (AVC) in 1909.

Phthalate esters are chemicals used in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylacetates, cellulosics and polyurethanes and are thus used in a wide variety of consumer products.

Tenite cellulosics are manufactured from cellulose acetate and distributed as Tenite Acetate, Tenite Butyrate, and Tenite Propionate.

Nitrocellulose lacquer was also used as an aircraft dope, painted onto fabric-covered aircraft to tighten and provide protection to the material, but has been largely superseded by alternative cellulosics and other materials.

Probis, a subsidiary of Dow Wolff Cellulosics, took over the infrastructure in 2002, and since 1 March 2002 the line has been operated by the Osthannoversche Eisenbahnen (OHE).

These settlements were built after 1935, as part of the expansion of the Bomlitz explosives industry (forerunner of today's Dow Wolff Cellulosics) on the plateau of Lohheide, favourable because of its height above the water table.

During the opening ceremony Governor Hunt paid special tribute to Courtaulds' long association with Alabama - it has been making viscose rayon there for 40 years - presenting a 'birthday' proclamation to David Duthie, head of the company's Cellulosics business.

These businesses develop and market customized materials using technology and patented chemical processes for specialty applications, including semiconductors and organic light-emitting diodes, adhesives and foams used by the transportation industry, and cellulosics for pharmaceutical formulations and food applications.

Also within Designed Polymers, the newly formed Dow Wolff Cellulosics business, which combines Dow Water Soluble Polymers with Wolff Walsrode, acquired by Dow at the end of the second quarter, reported sound industry fundamentals and good growth across all industry segments.
