2. Formica (plastic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formica_(plastic)

   Formica Laminate. Formica Laminate is a laminated composite material invented at the Westinghouse Electric Corporation in the United States in 1912. Originally used to replace mica in electrical applications, it has since been manufactured for multiple applications. It has been produced by Formica Group manufacturing sites across the globe since.

3. Solid surface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_surface

   Solid surface is a non-porous low-maintenance material used for surfaces such as countertops. It can mimic the appearance of granite, marble, stone, and other naturally occurring materials, and can be joined nearly invisibly by a trained craftsman. Typically manufactured in sheet form for fabrication into finished countertops, solid surface can ...

4. Corian - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corian

   Corian is the original material of this type, created by DuPont scientists in 1967. [1] Corian is manufactured in three thicknesses: 6 millimetres (0.24 in), 12 millimetres (0.47 in), and 19 millimetres (0.75 in). Most Corian is manufactured at a DuPont facility near Buffalo, New York. Cross-section cuts show consistent color and particulate ...

6. Countertop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countertop

   Countertop. A countertop, also counter top, counter, benchtop, worktop (British English) or kitchen bench (Australian or New Zealand English), bunker (Scottish English) is a raised, firm, flat, and horizontal surface.

7. Surface roughness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_roughness

   Surface roughness, often shortened to roughness, is a component of surface finish (surface texture). It is quantified by the deviations in the direction of the normal vector of a real surface from its ideal form. If these deviations are large, the surface is rough; if they are small, the surface is smooth. In surface metrology, roughness is ...

8. Engineered stone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_stone

   Engineered stone. Engineered stone is a composite material made of crushed stone bound together by an adhesive to create a solid surface. The adhesive is most commonly polymer resin, with some newer versions using cement mix. This category includes engineered quartz (SiO 2), polymer concrete and engineered marble stone. [1]

9. NACA airfoil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NACA_airfoil

   A: blue line = chord, green line = camber mean-line, B: leading-edge radius, C: xy coordinates for the profile geometry (chord = x axis; y axis line on that leading edge) The NACA airfoil series is a set of standardized airfoil shapes developed by this agency, which became widely used in the design of aircraft wings.
