Abstract: A refrigerant compressor configured to compress ethylene fluorohydrocarbon or a mixture containing the ethylene fluorohydrocarbon as a refrigerant, the refrigerant compressor including: a compression element configured to compress the refrigerant and including a sliding component that constitutes a sliding portion; and refrigerator oil configured to be supplied to the sliding component so as to lubricate the sliding portion, wherein a polymerization inhibitor configured to suppress polymerization of the refrigerant is contained in the refrigerator oil.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting the formation of fouling materials including contacting hydrocarbon media containing aldehyde compounds with an antifoulant while treating the hydrocarbon media with a basic wash. The antifoulant includes a reducing sugar.

Abstract: Disclosed is a combination of hydrofluoroolefins and/or hydrochlorofluoroolefins with stabilizers wherein the stabilizers minimize the degradation of the hydrofluoroolefins and hydrochlorofluoroolefins during storage, handling and use yet allow for atmospheric degradation. The combinations exhibit low or zero ozone depletion potential and lower global warming potential making them of interest as replacements for chlorofluorocarbons and hydrfluorocarbons. The combinations of the present invention comprise hydrofluoroolefins and/or hydrochlorofluoroolefins in combination with a stabilizer or stabilizers selected from free radical scavengers, acid scavengers, oxygen scavengers, polymerization inhibitors and combinations thereof.

Abstract: To avoid the formation of acidity in an F125 containing olefins, a radical scavenger and/or an acidity scavenger is added to it.

Abstract: There is provided a precisely quantitative measurement method of a hydrocarbonaceous polymerization inhibitor component in a fluorine-containing olefinic monomer, which inhibitor component is contained in the monomer in such a trace amount that it cannot be detected by a gas chromatography. In the method, an ultraviolet absorption spectrum of a concentrated sulfuric acid is measured after it is contacted with the fluorine-containing olefinic monomer and the concentration of the polymerization inhibitor is obtained based on an absorbance of the spectrum and a calibration curve which has been beforehand obtained.

Abstract: Tetrafluoroethylene is made safe (non-explosive) to handle by forming a liquid solution of tetrafluoroethylene and carbon dioxide, one in the other, in a pressurized container.

Abstract: A triethylene glycol derivative is added to p-dichlorobenzene so as to prevent consolidation and improve flowability of p-dichlorobenzene.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting fouling in a crude ethylene dichloride stream comprises introducing into the stream an inhibiting amount of an antifoulant selected from (A) an acylated amine (e.g., reaction product of polyisobutylene and maleic anhydride) and a polyamine (B) magnesium alkyl aryl sulfonate, and (C) a mixture of A and B.

Abstract: Dibromostyrene is stabilized against unwanted polymerization by incorporating therein a stabilizing amount of a phenylene diamine such as N,N,N',N'-tetramethylphenylene-p-diamine or N,N'-diethylphenylene-p-diamine.

Abstract: Dibromostyrene has a marked tendency to polymerize on storage. The induction period can be lengthened with the use of a stabilizing quantity of n-propylgallate. The induction period can be markedly prolonged when the gallate ester is admixed with phenothiazine, N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, or 4-tert-butyl catechol.

Abstract: Mixing dibromostyrene with a metal oxide such as zinc oxide lengthens the induction period before polymerization of dibromostyrene. Preferably, the dibromostyrene has low levels of 2-bromoethyldibromobenzene and tribromostyrene impurities.
