  2. Wood warping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_warping

    Wood slabs can also become warped as a result of insufficient support from underlying shelf hardware (commonly referred to as sagging or bowing). [2] The types of wood warping include: bow: a warp along the length of the face of the wood; crook: a warp along the length of the edge of the wood; kink: a localized crook, often due to a knot

  3. Flexible stone veneer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_stone_veneer

    A sheet of flexible stone veneer illustrating its flexible nature Wall application A sheet of flexible stone veneer being cut and bent. Flexible stone veneer is made from a thin layer of stone stripped or peeled from a metamorphic stone marble chips or slab, rather than cutting from a solid stone or precast composite material.

  4. Garden furniture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_furniture

    Aluminium garden furniture is robust and long-lasting. However, if the protective coating is compromised it will corrode. Plastic garden furniture is naturally waterproof, so it can be left out year-round. Waterproof outdoor furniture pieces are usually made of materials such as Mahogany, Teak, Cast Aluminum, PE Wicker, Plastic and PVC Wicker.

  5. Polyester resin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester_resin

    This type of resin is known as a Nadic resin and is referred to as a poor man's Ortho, due to sharing many similar properties of an Ortho resin along with the extremely low cost of DCPD raw material. In another process, maleic anhydride is first opened with water or another alcohol to form maleic acid and is then reacted with DCPD where an ...

  6. Engineered stone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_stone

    Polyester resin binding agents allow some flexibility, preventing cracking under flexural pressure. But, the binding agents often continue to harden, leading to a loss of flexural strength over time. The polyester resins are not completely UV stable and engineered stone should not be used in outdoor applications. [ 9 ]

  7. Resin wicker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_wicker

    The term "wicker" is often use in to refer to two things: a type of material, and the method used to create it.Wicker works are generally meant to be lightweight, flexible, and durable; to achieve this, the materials used must have those properties, and the weave pattern must reinforce the structure while using as little material as possible to avoid becoming too heavy or rigid.

  8. Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyl-terminated_poly...

    Polyurethanes prepared from HTPB can be engineered for specific physical properties; polyurethanes may be highly elastic or tough and rigid. Some products include: rigid foam insulation panels; durable elastomeric wheels and tires (used for roller coasters, escalators, skateboards, etc.); automotive suspension bushings; electrical potting compounds; high-performance adhesives; surface coatings ...

  9. Resin casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_casting

    Alternately, resin casting may be accomplished with a resin plus a nearly equal amount of a "hardener" liquid (as in many epoxy resin or polyester resin systems), which functionally contains a second polymer, for use in forming a final product plastic which is a copolymer. Copolymers contain two different alternating chemical entities in the ...
