sinead.mcf Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Does aluminium oxide and carboxylic acid mix to create a water resistant/repellent substance/liquid? Or is that wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 At least some carboxylic acids are fairly water repellent with or without mixing them with alumina. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinead.mcf Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hi, thank you for replying! Would you be able to name a carboxylic acid that would be water repellent and mix with alumina? Its just for a school report! Thank you so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiot Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Since this is schoolwork it should be in that section (ie homework). As such have you tried following John Cuthber's lead by googling water repellent carboxylic acid? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=water+repellent+carboxylic+acid%3F&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=UJ2zWtL3HZGLtgeRlYaYCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
