So perhaps you have discovered a new "waterless dog wash flea repellent"? Regards, Ed Popielarski Sr. Mfg. Engr. NBS Corporation 2950 Patrick Henry Dr. Santa Clara, Ca. 95054 Ph: 408-654-1100 Fx: 408-654-1107 Cl: 408-234-1497 Cl: 949-581-6601 -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Steve Gregory Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2010 7:39 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Waterless hand cleaner Something interesting about Oleic Acid: Oleic Acid-"Smell of death" Oleic acid is emitted by the decaying corpses of a number of insects, including bees and Pogonomyrmex ants and triggers the instincts of living workers to remove the dead bodies from the hive. If a live bee or ant is daubed with oleic acid, it is dragged off as if it were dead. This is why oleic acid is also sometimes referred as "smell of death". The repellent smell indicates to living insects how to avoid others that have succumbed to disease or places where predators lurk. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ioan Tempea Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2010 9:18 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Waterless hand cleaner Dear Technos, I was proposed a hand cleaner for the people on the assembly lines. It contains: C10-13 isoparaffin, oleic acid, propylene glycol, mineral oil, thrietanolamine, glycerine, lanolin, aloe, tocopheryl acetate, propylparaben, methylparaben and triclosan. It should clean without water. Do I have any interest in introducing this mixture? Thanks, Ioan Tempea, ing.
