2. Plastic pants - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_pants

   Though modern terminology, like "rubber pants" and "rubbers", is commonly used to refer to various types of waterproof pants. The introduction of lighter, less bulky, and often incorporated integral waterproof plastic backing superabsorbent polymers , along with blood-gelling polymers for sanitary pads, significantly displaced traditional pads.

3. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

   A cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links.It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play mats.

4. Pipe insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_insulation

   For this reason, it is recommended to insulate pipework at risk of freezing, and local water-supply regulations may require pipe insulation be applied to pipework to reduce the risk of pipe freezing. [1] [2] For a given length, a smaller-bore pipe holds a smaller volume of water than a larger-bore pipe, and therefore water in a smaller-bore ...

5. Plastic clothing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_clothing

   Plastic clothing is clothing made from flexible sheets of plastics such as PVC, as distinct from clothing made from plastic-based synthetic fiber textiles such as polyester. Plastic clothing has existed almost since the creation of flexible plastic, particularly rain-protection garments made from waterproof fabrics .

7. Insulated pipe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_pipe

   They consist of a steel pipe called "service pipe", a thermal insulation layer and an outer casing. The insulation bonds the service pipe and the casing together. The main purpose of such pipes is to maintain the temperature of the fluid inside the service pipes. Insulated pipes are commonly used for transport of hot water from district heating ...

8. Rain pants - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_pants

   Rain pants may be combined with a rain jacket to make a rain suit. Rain gaiters may also be used for further protection. [1] While rain pants can be made of plastic or coated nylon, [2] modern waterproof materials are commonly used, including waterproof-breathable fabric such as Gore-Tex. [3]

9. High-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_polyethylene

   HDPE is known for its high strength-to-density ratio. [4] The density of HDPE ranges from 930 to 970 kg/m 3. [5] Although the density of HDPE is only marginally higher than that of low-density polyethylene, HDPE has little branching, giving it stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength (38 MPa versus 21 MPa) than LDPE.
