Effects of Heat: Sticks at 440° to 445°
Fahrenheit. Melts at 483°
Fahrenheit.
Effects of Bleaches and Solvents: Excellent resistance to bleaches
and other oxidizing agents. Generally insoluble except in some pheolic compounds.
Effects of Acids and Alkalis: Good resistance to most mineral
acids. Dissolve with partial decomposition in concentrated solutions of sulphuric
acids. Good resistance to weak alkalis. Moderate resistance to strong alkalis
at room temperature. Disintegrate in strong alkalis at boil.
Effects of Mildew, Aging, Sunlight & Abrasion: Not weakened
by mildew, excellent resistance to aging and abrasion. Prolonged exposure
to sunlight causes some strength loss.
Dyes used: Disperse developed and cationic (for some types),
with carrier or at high temperatures. |
