2. Thread seal tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_seal_tape

   Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape, Teflon tape, or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film tape commonly used in plumbing for sealing pipe threads. The tape is sold cut to specific widths and wound on a spool, making it easy to wind around pipe threads. Thread seal tape lubricates, allowing for a deeper seating of the ...

3. Thin-film interference - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_interference

   The effects of thin-film interference can also be seen in oil slicks and soap bubbles. The reflectance spectrum of a thin-film features distinct oscillations and the extrema of the spectrum can be used to calculate the thickness of the thin-film. [1] Ellipsometry is a technique that is often used to measure properties of thin films. In a ...

4. Flashing (weatherproofing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashing_(weatherproofing)

   Flashing is thin pieces of impervious material installed to prevent the passage of water into a structure from a joint or as part of a weather resistant barrier system. In modern buildings, flashing is intended to decrease water penetration at objects such as chimneys , vent pipes, walls, windows and door openings to make buildings more durable ...

   HDPE pipe is a type of flexible plastic pipe used to transfer fluids and gases. It is often employed for replacing aging concrete or steel main pipelines . Constructed from the thermoplastic HDPE (high-density polyethylene ), it has low permeability and robust molecular bonding, making it suitable for high-pressure pipelines .

8. Electrical tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_tape

   Electrical tape (or insulating tape) is a type of pressure-sensitive tape used to insulate electrical wires and other materials that conduct electricity. It can be made of many plastics but PVC (polyvinyl chloride, "vinyl") is the most popular, as it stretches well and gives effective and long-lasting insulation.

9. Liquid optically clear adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_optically_clear...

   LOCA has many advantages compared to traditional non-liquid film type adhesives (OCA tape). Specifically, it: Is suitable for application on uneven surfaces; Can be repaired and adjusted once cured; Can be used in large panels; Is completely size-independent, while OCA tape must be pre die-cut; Has high adhesion; Ideal for filling gaps because ...
