I was thinking today (yes.. it«s an ability I sometimes have): Often chemical processes (specially polimerization) require high pressures. High pressure speeds up or even allows many reactions often not attainable at normal 1 atm.
If I don«t recall badly, the inventors of Polartec (TM) started out in their basement, and made their first Polartec (TM) (or Fleece, or whatever you call it) batch in a pressure cooker. Pressure cookers are available in all shapes and sizes, and although they are not the cheapest saucepans around, the do a very good job in the processes mentioned. This mail might sound stupid. I don«t need to perform a reaction at high pressure for the time being, but I just wanted to remind those who had forgotten about this method, of the existance of pressure cookers. (No, I don«t sell them). Regards, Christian [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
