This book was released on 1984 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The natural look of wood siding, and the retention of that look, has become increasingly popular over the past several years. Many new commercial formulations are being offered for use as clear natural wood finishes. A successful finish will retain color, control mold and mildew, and minimize weathering. Some of these formulations contain a chemical as a mildewcide (fungicide, preservative) and/or a water repellent, and some do not. To evaluate several chemicals (alone or in combination with water repellents) as components of natural finish formulations, we dip-treated ponderosa pine sapwood specimens in various formulations and exposed them on test fences in Mississippi, Wisconsin and Washington. Several chemicals were very effective at controlling mildew and maintaining the natural appearance of the exposed wood. Aqueous formulations of chromium salts were the most effective for up to 22 months exposure outdoors. Many chemical formulations in mineral spirits (including water repellents and wood sealers) were effective for 5 to 9 months of exposure, but their effectiveness was reduced with longer exposure. Of all the chemicals evaluated in mineral spirits formulations, only pentachlorophenol and copper naphthenate were found to be effective mildewcides after exposures of greater than 9 months. Their mildewcidal effectiveness was improved with the addition of a simple water repellent (paraffin wax), especially with exposures greater than 9 months. Mildew growth was markedly worse in the warm, humid climate of Mississippi than in Washington or Wisconsin. This means that natural wood finishes for climates similar to Mississippi must contain high concentrations of effective mildewcides for good performance. This paper should be useful to homeowners, architects, builders, and wood finish formulators.

Download or read book Silicone Dispersions written by Yihan Liu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicone is an important class of materials used in applications that range from industrial assembly to everyday consumer products. Silicones are often delivered and synthesized in dispersion forms, the most common being liquid-in-liquid (emulsion), solid-in-liquid (suspension), air-in-liquid (foam) and solid-in air (powder). This book compiles a carefully selected number of topics that are essential to the understanding, creative design and production of silicone dispersions. As such, it provides the first unified description of silicone dispersions in the literature.

Download or read book Waterproof and Water Repellent Textiles and Clothing written by John T Williams and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waterproof and Water Repellent Textiles and Clothing provides systematic coverage of the key types of finishes and high performance materials, from conventional wax and silicone, through controversial, but widely used fluoropolymers and advanced techniques, such as atmospheric plasma deposition and sol-gel technology. The book is an essential resource for all those engaged in garment development, production and finishing, and for academics engaged in research into apparel technology and textile science. Rapid innovation in this field is driving new performance demands in many areas, including the sporting and military sectors. However, another innovation driver is the regulatory framework in the USA, Europe and globally, addressing both health concerns (e.g. with PFOS / PFOA) and environmental impacts (e.g. C8 fluorocarbon finishes). Both of these aspects are fully covered, along with the replacement materials / technologies currently available and under development. In addition, oleophobic and multifunctional coatings are discussed, as are aspects of performance, testing and applications in sportswear, protective clothing, and footwear. - Introduces innovative materials and technologies, exploring their current and potential use across different sectors - Provides expert guidance on the health and environmental aspects of key waterproof materials and coatings and their associated regulations - Demystifies testing processes and design principles
