  2. List of polyurethane applications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polyurethane...

    Industrial Insulation. Rigid polyurethane foam is used in various industries to provide thermal insulation to installations and pipes. In particular, the piping for district heating systems in Europe is primarily insulated using a pre-insulated pipes sandwich assembly composed of a steel heat service pipe, an insulating layer (polyurethane foam) and a polyethylene (PE) casing, which are bonded ...

  3. Steam cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_cracking

    The products produced in the reaction depend on the composition of the feed, the hydrocarbon-to-steam ratio, and on the cracking temperature and furnace residence time. Light hydrocarbon feeds such as ethane, LPGs, or light naphtha give mainly lighter alkenes, including ethylene, propylene, and butadiene.

  4. Wood processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_processing

    Paper engineering is a subfield of wood processing. The major wood product categories are: sawn timber, wood-based panels, wood chips, paper and paper products and miscellaneous others including poles and railway sleepers. Forest product processing technologies have undergone extraordinary advances in some of the above categories.

  5. Cracking (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracking_(chemistry)

    The main feedstock is vacuum gas oil, a heavy fraction of petroleum. [14] [15] The products of this process are saturated hydrocarbons; depending on the reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, catalyst activity) these products range from ethane, LPG to heavier hydrocarbons consisting mostly of isoparaffins.

  6. Wood finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_finishing

    Oil-varnish blends (i.e. Danish oil, Teak oil, [30] "Tung oil finish") Enhances natural figure like a drying oil, but more protective and faster drying. Low, but more than pure oil finishes. Fairly durable, but may require periodic reapplication for heavy use areas such as tables and worktops.

  7. Diethyl ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethyl_ether

    Most diethyl ether is produced as a byproduct of the vapor-phase hydration of ethylene to make ethanol.This process uses solid-supported phosphoric acid catalysts and can be adjusted to make more ether if the need arises: [9] Vapor-phase dehydration of ethanol over some alumina catalysts can give diethyl ether yields of up to 95%.

  8. Ethylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol

    Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound (a vicinal diol [7]) with the formula (CH 2 OH) 2. It is mainly used for two purposes: as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations. It is an odorless, colorless, flammable, viscous liquid.

  9. Wood preservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_preservation

    The PTI wood products are very well adapted for paint and stain applications with no bleed-through. The addition of the wax stabilizer allows a lower preservative retention plus substantially reduces the tendency of wood to warp and split as it dries. In combination with normal deck maintenance and sealer applications, the stabilizer helps ...
