DEF

A mono alkyl ester of long-chain fatty acids from naturally occurring plant oils, animal fats, and recycled greases.

OBS

In principle, the transesterification reaction can be performed with methanol as well as with ethanol, to produce the corresponding fatty acid methyl and ethyl esters respectively.

DEF

Monoester alkylique d'acides gras à longue chaîne fabriquée à partir d'huiles végétales naturelles, de graisses animales et de graisses recyclées.

OBS

Fabriqué à partir d'huile végétale ou de graisse animale par procédé de transestérification. Les esters méthyliques sont fabriqués principalement à partir d'huile de colza ou de mélange d'huiles de colza, soja ou encore palme. Les esters méthyliques peuvent être incorporés à hauteur de 5 % dans le diesel sans adaptation du véhicule. Ils peuvent également être utilisés comme carburant pur, mais uniquement sur véhicules spécifiquement adaptés.

Record 3 2012-04-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Paper
DEF

[A] paper that has been modified by the action of sulphuric acid.

OBS

This treatment gives it a continuous texture, increases surface hardness and gives it a high degree of resistance to penetration by organic liquids generally, and particularly fats, oils and greases. The structure also confers on the paper resistance to disintegration by water, even boiling water.

OBS

vegetable parchment: term and definition standardized by ISO in 1978.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sortes de papier
DEF

Papier qui, par traitement à l'acide sulfurique, a acquis une texture continue qui lui confère une résistance élevée à la pénétration des corps gras et également une grande résistance à la désagrégation par l'eau, même bouillante.

OBS

papier sulfurisé : terme normalisé par l'ISO en 1978.

OBS

papier sulfurisé : terme recommandé par l'OLF.

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing

Universal entry(ies)
C10H21Cl
formula, see observation
DEF

A commercial term referring to a chemical compound comprising mixed isomers, having the formula C10H21Cl, appearing under the form of a combustible, colorless liquid, used as a solvent for oils, fats, greases, resins, gums, in extractants and cleaning compounds, as an intermediate for insecticides, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, polysulfide rubbers, resins and cationic surfactants.

OBS

The decyl "chain" as shown in formulas 5 through 9 is termed a "straight chain", as one carbon follows another, like the links of a chain. Structures 15 or 16 are termed "branched chains". [An illustration of the formulas follows.] The overall formula for 5-7, C10H21Cl, is the same. Formulas 5-7 each represents "decyl chloride." However 15 and 16 differ in a crucial way. The difference is that formulas 15 and 16 have two "CH3" groups near the left end of the molecule. This is seen more easily in 17, a "condensed formula" that is equivalent to the "line formula" 15. Furthermore, 15 to 17 have a single "CH" group present, whereas 7 has no "CH" groups, only "CH3" and "CH2" groups. The new structure 15 or 17 carries a different name: "isodecyl chloride."
