  2. Surfactants in paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactants_in_paint

    The cost of surfactants is partially dependent on the crude oil market. As a stock ingredient for production of surfactants, paints highly dependent on surfactants will be affected by this market. [ citation needed ] More intricate surfactants with larger, more difficult to synthesize structure are more expensive to produce and have a greater ...

  3. Demulsifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demulsifier

    Demulsifiers, or emulsion breakers, are a class of specialty chemicals used to separate emulsions, for example, water in oil. They are commonly used in the processing of crude oil , which is typically produced along with significant quantities of saline water.

  4. Paint stripper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_stripper

    Paint remover is applied to an aircraft's landing gear during an inspection looking for cracks in the aluminum. Paint stripper or paint remover is a chemical product designed to remove paint, finishes, and coatings, while also cleaning the underlying surface. Chemical paint removers are advantageous because they act on any kind of geometry and ...

  5. Emulsion polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion_polymerization

    In polymer chemistry, emulsion polymerization is a type of radical polymerization that usually starts with an emulsion incorporating water, monomers, and surfactants.The most common type of emulsion polymerization is an oil-in-water emulsion, in which droplets of monomer (the oil) are emulsified (with surfactants) in a continuous phase of water.

  6. Microemulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microemulsion

    Note 2: The average diameter of droplets in macro-emulsion (usually referred to as an“emulsion”) is close to one millimeter (i.e., 10 −3 m). Therefore, since micro- means 10 −6 and emulsion implies that droplets of the dispersed phase have diameters close to 10 −3 m, the micro-emulsion denotes a system with the size range of the ...

    May 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this message) Calcium Lime Rust , more commonly known as CLR , is a household cleaning product used for dissolving stains, such as calcium , lime , and iron oxide deposits.

  9. Waterborne resins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterborne_resins

    Most coatings have four basic components. These are the resin, solvent, pigment and additive systems [5] but the resin or binder is the key ingredient. Continuing environmental legislation in many countries along with geopolitics such as oil production are ensuring that chemists are increasingly turning to waterborne technology for paint/coatings and since resins or binders are the most ...
