  3. Powder coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_coating

    Heat-sensitive carbon fiber tubes coated with a UV curable powder coating. Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder.Unlike conventional liquid paint, which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light.

  4. Electrostatic coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_coating

    Electrostatic coating is a manufacturing process that employs charged particles to more efficiently paint a workpiece. Paint, in the form of either powdered particles or atomized liquid, is initially projected towards a conductive workpiece using normal spraying methods, and is then accelerated toward the work piece by a powerful electrostatic charge.

  5. Acrylate polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylate_polymer

    Polyacrylate emulsion, water-borne coating, are used as binder for outdoor and indoor "latex" house paints.; Acrylic paints as artist paints.; Acrylic fibre.; Sodium polyacrylate water-soluble thickeners, a polymer for the production of the Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) used in disposable diapers due to its high absorbency per unit mass.

  6. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

    Polycarbonate is commonly used in eye protection, as well as in other projectile-resistant viewing and lighting applications that would normally indicate the use of glass, but require much higher impact-resistance. Polycarbonate lenses also protect the eye from UV light.

  7. Acrylic paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_paint

    Acrylic paint can be removed from nonporous plastic surfaces such as miniatures or models using cleaning products such as Dettol (containing chloroxylenol 4.8% v/w). [ 22 ] An acrylic sizing should be used to prime canvas in preparation for painting with acrylic paints, to prevent Support Induced Discoloration (SID).

  8. Plastic bicycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_bicycle

    The Itera plastic bicycle. A plastic bicycle is a bicycle constructed from plastic or a plastic composite material, rather than from metal.. In the 1970s and early 1980s, experimental plastic bicycles were developed and the Itera was produced in significant numbers, but they failed commercially.

  9. Flame polishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_polishing

    Operator skill is critical with this method. When done properly, flame plastic polishing produces the clearest finish, especially when polishing acrylic. This method is most applicable to flat external surfaces. Flame polishing is frequently used in acrylic plastic fabrication because of its high speed compared to abrasive methods.
