· n the United States, plastics are made from liquid petroleum gases (LPG), natural gas liquids (NGL), and natural gas. LPG are by-products of petroleum refining, and NGL are removed from natural gas before it enters transmission pipelines. · In 20101, about 191 million barrels of LPG and NGL were used in the United States to make plastic products in the plastic materials and equal to about 2.7% of total U.S. resins industry, petroleum consumption. Of those 191 million barrels, 190 million barrels were used as feedstock and 1 million barrels were consumed as fuel · In addition to petroleum, natural gas is used to manufacture plastic materials and about 412 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of resins. In 2010, natural gas were used to make plastic materials and resins, equal to about 1.7% of total U.S. natural gas consumption . Of
other biomass based fuels are used. All these fuels are considered as renewables and according to the international agreement the CO2 emitted by the combustion of these fuels is not listed as a greenhouse gas. Wood, in particular the shell of wood cells, consists mainly from cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose. Due to the high carbon and hydrogen content, the lignin has higher calorific value than cellulose and hemicellulose. In smaller quantities the wood contains also tar, resins and phenols that can cause fouling of heat transfer surfaces and stack interior with the deposits that are difficult to remove From the point of view of combustion technology and practical use of fuels the following properties of fuels are of most interest: chemical composition, moisture, density, fly and bottom ash content, ash melting characteristics and content of impurities (soil, dust, etc.) in the fuel.

Siinkohal on jutt summaarsest protsessist, millel on tegelikult palju vaheastmeid. Viimaseid uuritakse soojusefektide alusel TTT diagrammide alusel (Time Temperature Transformation). Tuntumad maatriksvaigud: *Epoksüvaigud *Fenoolformaldehüüdvaigud *Polüestervaigud *Polümiidvaigud Epoksüvaigud Epoksüvaigud (epoxy resins) moodustavad üle 90 % kõikidest plastkomposiitide sideaineks kasutatavatest vaikudest. Nende eelis on head töödeldavus; neist saab valmistada eelimpregneeritud materjale prepreg'e (prepreg preliminary impregnated), millest hiljem valmistatakse plastkomposiittooteid. Epoksüvaigud molekulis epoksürühmi sisaldavad sünteetilised mono- või oligomeerid, mis kõvendiga segatult on termoreaktiivsed; vedelad või tahked läbipaistvad helekollased või
shoe-care agents, carpet cleaners, glues and adhesives, lacquers, paper, plastics, and some types of wood products. Some people are exposed to higher levels of formaldehyde if they live in a new mobile home, as formaldehyde is given off as a gas from the manufactured wood products used in these homes. Formaldehyde is used in many industries. It is used in the production of fertilizer, paper, plywood, and urea-formaldehyde resins. It is present in the air in iron foundries. It is also used in the production of cosmetics and sugar, in well-drilling fluids, in agriculture as a preservative for grains and seed dressings, in the rubber industry in the production of latex, in leather tanning, in wood preservation, and in photographic film production. Formaldehyde is combined with methanol and buffers to make embalming fluid. Formaldehyde is also used in many hospitals and laboratories to preserve tissue specimens.
