STUDY OF THE THERMAL-STABILITY OF A POREMIT EMULSION

Results ape presented from a study of the thermal stability of a porem it emulsion. Safe storage and processing times and temperatures are in dicated along with the effect of the emulsion on the thermal stability of other materials. Satisfactory thermal stability is attained with a n emulsion of poremit in lubricating oils and fuel oils containing up to 3.5% sulfur and from 10 to 17% water. No heat is released for sever al days at temperatures of 90-110 degrees C. The emulsion begins to br eak down at 205-210 degrees C, this process intensifying at 240-250 de grees C. The self-ignition temperature of the emulsion is within the r ange 310-370 degrees C.
