PRODUCT
1. Wire Enamel
Electrical motors, generators and transformers function on the basis of
electromagnetic induction. The rotational or linear movement of such electrical
rotary equipment is caused by electromagnetic fields induced by current flow
through copper/aluminum wires and coils, and their mutual repulsion forces.
For a safe and stable operation of such rotary equipment, the copper or aluminum
wire is concentrically coated with multiple insulating layers of a so-called wire
enamel varnish, prior to the winding process. This wire coat prevents short circuits
and other electrical failures potentially resulting in the loss of the electromagnetic
fields and machine breakdowns.
The ELANTAS portfolio comprises enamels especially designed for various wire
grades such as copper and aluminum wires, fine wires, medium wires, heavy round
wires and shaped wires. We provide solutions for both horizontal and vertical
enameling technologies, as well as different coating builds from single layer to
multiple layer application. Our product range covers varnishes delivering special
requirements such as corona resistance properties, solder ability and oil resistance,
among many others. In addition, we guarantee superior compatibility with most
impregnation varnishes, in particular, the ELANTAS impregnation varnishes.

Excellent insulation material performance is critical wherever electrical
components have to operate and it is even more so under extreme conditions.

2.3.1. Glycerin
Formula: C3H8O3
Molecular weight: 92.0938
Chemical structure: C3H8O3
Glycerin is colorless or pale yellow liquid; odorless and syrupy; sweet and warm taste. It is
hygroscopic and its solutions are neutral. Miscible with water and alcohol. Insoluble in
chloroform, ether and in volatile oils

Glycerine, Glycerin, Glycerol, 1,2,3-Propanetriol

Identification
Recommendation
National List:
Allowed (Consensus)
Suggested
Annotation:
Glycerin, Allowed. Must be USP grade and produced through hydrolysis of fats and oils. For use
as a livestock teat dip. (Consensus)
Characterization
C8H8O2. Glycerine 99.7% and water.
Properties:
Glycerin is colorless or pale yellow liquid; odorless and syrupy; sweet and warm taste. It is
hygroscopic and its solutions are neutral. Miscible with water and alcohol. Insoluble in
chloroform, ether and in volatile oils.
How Made:
Glycerin is a by-product of the soap manufacturing process. Oldest method of manufacture is by
hydrolysis of natural fats & oils (either animal or vegetable): heat, steam, and pressure “split” the
glycerin from the oil. The glycerin is concentrated in multistage evaporators and refined.
Purification is achieved through either an ion exchange process or a distillation system. It can
be produced synthetically from propylene.
Specific Uses:
Glycerin has over 1,000 uses; however for purposes of this review, glycerin is used as an
ingredient in teat dips. It is often described as an inert ingredient used in topical medications as
a vehicle. In teat dips it prevents teat irritation and improves skin conditioning. Glycerin has
some germicidal activity (Fox et al., 1990).
Action:
The means by which it inhibits bacterial growth is not entirely known. Serves as a humectant
and emollient.
Combinations:
Iodine, chlorohexidine.

2.3.3. Phenol
Phenols are the organic compounds containing benzene ring bonded to a hydroxyl group. They
are also known as carbolic acids. They exhibit unique physical and chemical properties in
comparison to alcohol. These physical and chemical properties of phenols are mainly due to the
presence of the hydroxyl group.
Some prominent physical and chemical properties of phenols are given below.
Phenols generally have higher boiling points in comparison to other hydrocarbons having equal
molecular masses. This is due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between
hydroxyl groups of phenol molecules. In general, the boiling point of phenols increases with an
increase in the number of carbon atoms.Boiling point of Phenols

3. Acidity of Phenols
Phenols react with active metals such as sodium, potassium, etc. to form the corresponding
phenoxide. These reactions of phenols indicate its acidic nature. In phenol, the sp2 hybridized
carbon of the benzene ring attached directly to the hydroxyl group acts as an
electron-withdrawing group. Thus, it decreases the electron density on oxygen.
Due to the delocalization of negative charge in the benzene ring, phenoxide ions are more
stable than alkoxide ions. As a result, phenols are more acidic than alcohols. In the case of
substituted phenols, the acidity decreases if an electron-donating group is attached to the ring
while the acidity increases in the case of an electron-withdrawing group.
4. Chirality of Phenols
Phenols exhibit chirality within their molecules, for example, catechin. This chirality is due to the
absence of planar and axial symmetry in the phenol molecule.

Each and every material have their own MSDS. All the component MSDS
has 16 sections. Common Sections of MSDS are as follows.

SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT
3.1. Introduction
a) Safety is the state of being “safe”, the condition of being protected against
physical, social, spiritual, financial, political, emotional, occupational,
psychological, education, or other types of consequences of failure, damage,
error, accident, harm or any other event which could be considered non desirable.
This can take the form of being protected from the event or from exposure to
something that causes health or economical loss. It can include protection of
people or of possessions.
c) “Safe use of man, material and, machine by safe systems and method of work so
as to achieve zero accidents which results in higher productivity.

3.4. Pre-start-up Safety review
• One of the fundamental tolls for managing change is the pre start-up safety
review (PSSR). A PSSR consists of a checklist of items to be thoroughly
verified before a process begins or restart in order to ensure that potential
hazards have been properly addressed.
• The aim of PSSR is to prevent serious injury from the hazard of stored
energy as a result of the failure of a pressure system or one off its
component parts.
• The team required for PSSR consists of representatives from the following
departments:
e) Process
f) Mechanical
g) Electrical
h) Project
i) Instrumentation
j) Safety
It consists of verification of:
II. Lower explosive limit (LEL): The lower explosive limit (LEL) is the
lowest concentration of a gas or vapor that will burn in the air.
16
III. Upper explosive limit (UEL): The highest concentration of a gas or
vapor above which a flame will nor spread in the presence of an ignition
source.
IV. Flammable range: The concentration of gas between lower and upper
explosive limit.
VI. Threshold limit value (TLV): PEL is a regulatory limit on the amount
or concentration of a substance in the air.
VII. Short term exposure limit (STEL): A short term explosive limit is the
acceptable average exposure over a short period time, usually 15 min
as long as the time weighted average is not exceeded.
Fire Triangle:
The fire triangle or combustion triangle is a simple model for understanding the
necessary for most fires.
The triangle illustrates the three elements a fire needs to ignite: heat, fuel and an
oxidizing agent (usually oxygen). A fire naturally occurs when the elements are present
and combined in the right mixture. A fire can be prevented or extinguished by removing
any one of the elements in the fire triangle.

Types of fires:

• Cooling: By reducing temperature of surrounding
• Smothering: By removing oxygen from fire.
• Starving: By removing the fuel in the vicinity of fire.
