I need to find out a product that uses a substitute for petroleum. Something along the lines of windsheild washer blades.

 

what are you wanting to do? what do you consider no petrolium? none anywhere from the start to the end user? a little more info would help.

 

Silicone- used in some wiper blades, more chemical resistant than natural rubber and some other synthetics

Nitrile- most chemical resistant, used in lab tubing

 

For chemistry class I need to find a product that uses petroleum, and find a substitue for petroleum to use the product. So the manufacturing process is not important if it uses petroleum. Just the product.

 

so its not thirdgen related, right? dont worry i wont tell anybody.


Well silicon is what i woulda said and then there is the otherone, i had forgotten the name but the toehr guy said it, nitrile. I remember my mechanic tlaking to me about these things being tested for replacement of rubber since it dries out so easily.
