  2. Paint stripper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_stripper

    Paint remover is applied to an aircraft's landing gear during an inspection looking for cracks in the aluminum. Paint stripper or paint remover is a chemical product designed to remove paint, finishes, and coatings, while also cleaning the underlying surface. Chemical paint removers are advantageous because they act on any kind of geometry and ...

  3. Descaling agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descaling_agent

    A descaling agent or chemical descaler is a liquid chemical substance used to remove limescale from metal surfaces in contact with hot water, such as in boilers, water heaters, and kettles. Limescale is either white or brown in colour due to the presence of iron compounds. Glass surfaces may also exhibit scaling stains, as can many ceramic ...

    Commercial photocatalytic products, which include: architectural glass, [2] [3] [4] ceramic tiles, [5] [6] roof tiles, [7] cement, [8] [9] paint, [10] [11] and fabrics [12] [13] [14] are marketed on their ability to clean their own surfaces (i.e. are self-cleaning) and the ambient air. Paiis address the industry need for a rapid, simple ...

  6. Calcium Lime Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_Lime_Rust

    The general reaction can be represented as follows: CaCO 3 + 2H + → Ca + 2 + CO 2 + H 2 O. Here, H + represents the hydrogen ions provided by the acid. The calcium ions (Ca + 2) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) are formed, which helps in the easy removal of the deposit.

  7. Nitric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_acid

    Nitric acid is subject to thermal or light decomposition and for this reason it was often stored in brown glass bottles: 4 HNO 3 → 2 H 2 O + 4 NO 2 + O 2. This reaction may give rise to some non-negligible variations in the vapor pressure above the liquid because the nitrogen oxides produced dissolve partly or completely in the acid.

  8. Lightfastness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightfastness

    Photolysis, i.e., photochemical decomposition is a chemical reaction where the compound is broken down by the photons. This decomposition occurs when a photon of sufficient energy encounters a colorant molecule bond with a suitable dissociation energy.

  9. Electrophoretic deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophoretic_deposition

    The ionizable groups incorporated into the polymer are formed by the reaction of an acid and a base to form a salt. The particular charge, positive or negative, which is imparted to the polymer depends on the chemical nature of the ionizable group. If the ionizable groups on the polymer are acids, the polymer will carry a negative charge when ...
