Your Wax Choice Makes a Difference. There are three main kinds of car wax: spray-ons, liquids, and pastes. (We'll save popular ceramic coatings for another story; our friends at Road & Track ...
Cosmoline is the genericized trademark for a common class of brown, wax-like petroleum-based corrosion inhibitors, typically conforming to United States Military Standard MIL-C-11796C Class 3. [1] They are viscous when freshly applied, have a slight fluorescence , and solidify over time with exposure to air.
The sulfite ion is the conjugate base of bisulfite. Although its acid (sulfurous acid) is elusive, [1] its salts are widely used. Sulfites are substances that naturally occur in some foods and the human body. They are also used as regulated food additives. [2] When in food or drink, sulfites are often lumped together with sulfur dioxide. [3]
Hydrogen fuel enhancement from electrolysis (using automotive alternators) has been promoted for use with gasoline-powered and diesel trucks, [14] [15] [16] although electrolysis-based designs have repeatedly failed efficiency tests and contradict widely accepted laws of thermodynamics (i.e. conservation of energy).
Vista One-Step Cleaner/Wax made its debut in 1957. In 1965 Morton International purchased the controlling interest in Simoniz Company, adding Master Wax-Detergent Proof and Smooth-Pre Softened products to the line. In 1976, Simoniz was acquired by Union Carbide. It introduced such products as Shines Like the Sun, Super Poly, Body Guard, Double ...
Whether it's milk in the kitchen or red wine on your favorite white carpet, a spill in your house can be a pain to clean up. But when it comes to gasoline in your garage, an easy fix may be found ...
Paraffin wax (or petroleum wax) is a soft colorless solid derived from petroleum, coal, or oil shale that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between 20 and 40 carbon atoms. It is solid at room temperature and begins to melt above approximately 37 °C (99 °F), [ 2 ] and its boiling point is above 370 °C (698 °F). [ 2 ]
The sulfite process is acidic and one of the drawbacks is that the acidic conditions hydrolyze some of the cellulose, which means that sulfite pulp fibers are not as strong as kraft pulp fibers. The yield of pulp (based on wood used) is higher than for kraft pulping and sulfite pulp is easier to bleach .
