It has not been formally disseminated by the NTP. It does not represent and should not be construed to represent NTP determination or policy. NTP TR 592 National Toxicology Program National Institutes of Health Public Health Service U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FOREWORD The National Toxicology Program (NTP) is an interagency program within the Public Health Service (PHS) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and is headquartered at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences of the National Institutes of Health (NIEHS/NIH). Three agencies contribute resources to the program: NIEHS/NIH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (NIOSH/CDC), and the National Center for Toxicological Research of the Food and Drug Administration (NCTR/FDA). Established in 1978, the NTP is charged with coordinating toxicological testing activities, strengthening the science base in toxicology, developing and validating improved testing methods, and providing information about potentially toxic substances to health regulatory and research agencies, scientific and medical communities, and the public. The Technical Report series began in 1976 with carcinogenesis studies conducted by the National Cancer Institute. In 1981, this bioassay program was transferred to the NTP. The studies described in the Technical Report series are designed and conducted to characterize and evaluate the toxicologic potential, including carcinogenic activity, of selected substances in laboratory animals (usually two species, rats and mice).

  • Surface Pretreatment by Phosphate Conversion Coatings – a Review
    130Rev.Adv.Mater.Sci. 9 (2005) 130-177 T.S.N. Sankara Narayanan SURFACE PRETREATMENT BY PHOSPHATE CONVERSION COATINGS A REVIEW T.S.N. Sankara Narayanan National Metallurgical Laboratory, Madras Centre CSIR, Complex, Taramani, Chennai-600 113, India Received: April 22, 2005 Abstract. Phosphating is the most widely used metal pretreatment process for the surface treatment and finishing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Due to its economy, speed of opera- tion and ability to afford excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, adhesion and lubricative properties, it plays a significant role in the automobile, process and appliance industries. Though the process was initially developed as a simple method of preventing corrosion, the changing end uses of phosphated articles have forced the modification of the existing processes and development of innovative methods to substitute the conventional ones. To keep pace with the rapid changing need of the finishing systems, numerous modifications have been put forth in their development - both in the processing sequence as well as in the phosphating formulations. This review addresses the various aspects of phosphating in detail. In spite of the numerous modifications put forth on the deposition technologies to achieve different types of coatings and desirable properties such as improved corrosion resistance, wear resistance, etc., phosphate conversion coating still plays a vital part in the automobile, process and appliance industries.

  • Toxicological Profile for Zinc
    ZINC 119 4. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL INFORMATION 4.1 CHEMICAL IDENTITY Information concerning the chemical identity of elemental zinc and zinc compounds is listed in Table 4-1. Zinc is a naturally occurring element found in the earth=s surface rocks. Because of its reactivity, zinc metal is not found as the free element in nature. There are approximately 55 mineralized forms of zinc. The most important zinc minerals in the world are sphalerite (ZnS), smithsonite (ZnCO3), and hemimorphite (Zn4Si2O7(OH2)H2O). Zinc appears in Group IIB of the periodic table and has two common oxidation states, Zn(0) and Zn(+2). Zinc forms a variety of different compounds, such as zinc chloride, zinc oxide, and zinc sulfate (Goodwin 1998; Ohnesorge and Wilhelm 1991; WHO 2001). 4.2 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Information regarding the physical and chemical properties of elemental zinc and zinc compounds is located in Table 4-2. Zinc is a lustrous, blue-white metal that burns in air with a bluish-green flame. It is stable in dry air, but upon exposure to moist air, it becomes covered with a film of zinc oxide or basic carbonate (e.g., 2ZnCO3·3Zn(OH)2) isolating the underlying metal and retarding further corrosion. Bonding in zinc compounds tends to be covalent, as in the sulfide and oxide (Goodwin 1998). In solution, four to six ligands can be coordinated with the zinc ion. Zinc has a strong tendency to react with acidic, alkaline, and inorganic compounds. Since zinc is amphoteric (i.e., capable of reacting chemically either as an acid 2- or a base), it also forms zincates (e.g., [Zn(OH)3H2O]- and [Zn(OH)4] ) (Goodwin 1998; Ohnesorge and Wilhelm 1991; WHO 2001).
